River cruises beyond Europe
Europe may be exceptional when it comes to river cruising. But looking a little further afield for your next cruise could prove just as fruitful. A cruise down the Mekong River through Vietnam and Cambodia aboard Scenic Spirit reveals the life and soul, history, and culture of these lands like no land-based journey can. Shore excursions are designed to deepen guests’ understanding of this region and its people. Whether taking part in spiritual customs, feasting on traditional dishes, or exploring villages, temples, and ruins.
Drifting down the Nile is an incredible way to learn the secrets behind ancient Egypt’s tombs, temples, and pyramids. And the pharaohs who walked among them. A 13-day Cairo-to-Cairo cruise with Scenic kicks off with drinks and canapes as the sun sets over the Great Pyramids. A taste of the treasures to come.
If you’ve dreamed of going to Africa (or going back for more), a safari cruise provides a rare opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural habitats. In and out of the water, combining river cruising with land safaris. Family-owned French cruise line CroisiEurope runs intimate 16-passenger tours to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. A nine-day cruise will take you from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls via Chobé and Matusadona National Parks, with luxury lodging provided on board RV Zimbabwean Dream and in the eight-bungalow Kaza Safari Lodge.
