Unlike ocean cruising, which runs all year round, river cruising is dictated by the seasons. These are the best times to cruise on the rivers of the world.
River cruise is booming. In recent months, most of the major lines have announced new ships for the 2027 season, boosting capacity with as many as eight additional vessels.
Celebrity River Cruises will open bookings for its first sailings on the Rhine and Danube rivers in 2027 on September 3 with a fully refundable $800 deposit.
Oceania Cruises has a new ship and an amazing series of new journeys. Peter Lynch and Rose Kelly talk to the line's James Sitters about what's on offer and some special deals just for you.
