New ship launches prove this under-the-radar cruise style is catching on fast
When most people think of cruises, they picture massive vessels sailing through the warm Caribbean. However, two lines are expanding their fleets to tap into the growing popularity of river cruises.
River cruises are smaller ships that navigate iconic rivers like the Danube, Rhine, and Seine, offering guests a more immersive way to explore historic cities and villages.
For example, cruise ships can't dock in Paris. The closest they can get is Le Havre, a major port city in the Normandy region of France, which is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive away.
