Knowing the Difference
Ocean cruising and river cruising offer two distinct ways to explore the world, each with its own unique charm. Ocean cruises travel across vast seas to reach multiple countries and iconic coastal cities, delivering grand ships, endless onboard entertainment, and sweeping ocean views.
River cruises, on the other hand, offer a more intimate experience, gliding through the heart of historic towns and scenic countryside along inland waterways. While ocean cruising brings big-ship variety and wide-open horizons, river cruising delivers closer-to-the-destination access, culturally immersive excursions, and a relaxed, boutique atmosphere - giving travelers two wonderfully different styles of adventure to choose from.
