Frommer's EasyGuide to River Cruising is the first book on the market to
cover this wildly popular vacation activity. The book contains
opinionated, no-holds-barred reviews of all of the major, and many of
the smaller, river cruise lines (including specific reviews of their
varying ship classes). These include advice on which boats offer the
best value, which are best for luxury seekers, which will do the trick
for foodies, which have high tech amenities, and which don't. One
chapter is only on booking: where can one find discounts, why one should
use a travel agent, what's the timing for reserving your cruise and
more. In addition, the book will aid cruisers trying to choose the right
river to sail, in chapters that span the globe. What are the highlights
of the Amazon, the Irawaddy (in Myanmar), the Mississippi, the Nile, the
Seine, the Volga or the Upper Danube (to name just a few)? The book
answers these questions and many others, discussing what are the best
shore excursions along all the major waterways of the world; what are
the most rewarding destinations to add on, either before or after a
cruise; and what are the most fun off-the-beaten-path activities and
