Small boats include paddlewheelers, houseboats, and day cruising. There are few overnight cruises available, but several of the small cruising boats offer overnights in hotels along the river. Check out the JBS, the Twilight, and Celebration Cruise Lines.

Waterway Cruise Reports by Pat and Richard Middleton

GERMANY

   Luxury River Cruising with AMA WATERWAYS through
"Europe's Heartland"   

With our Mississippi River cruising steamboats inexcusably shut down for the moment, the European waterways have been teasing me to come explore a few more of the world's most renown rivers.  In this Waterway Cruise Report we explore the Mosel, Rhine, and Main Rivers!

 

Vineyards, castles, Medieval churches and villages abound along the railroad routes.     Ride the European Rails for Flexibility, Comfort and a touch of Adventure… but do pack light! We have just posted our story on traveling by TRAIN  along the Mosel, Rhine, and Main Rivers in Germany!
