**Insight Guides River Cruising in Europe & the USA
**
A river cruise is undoubtedly the most civilised way to see the best of
a region; you can relax in the comfort of a small vessel as you glide
through beautiful towns and spectacular scenery. But how do you choose
which cruise company, which kind of rivership, and where to go? This new
edition of River Cruising in Europe & the USA will tell you everything
you need to know about taking a cruise along the rivers and waterways of
both Europe and the USA.
Written by cruise expert Douglas Ward, the guide gives you unbiased
advice on the different kinds of river vessels and the facilities they
offer, helping you to make an informed choice. We take you on a journey
along Europe's rivers and waterways, describing the highlights along the
way - the historic cities and majestic scenery of the Danube, the
castles of the romantic Rhine, and much more. This is followed by a
dedicated section on cruising the USA's rivers from the Mississippi to
the Columbia and Snake, with detailed information on steamboats and the
unique aspects of American river cruising. Also included are listings
for over 300 river vessels, which are impartially rated, so that you can
easily compare ships.
