River Cruising in 2019: What Do Water Levels Look Like?
While river cruising is a delightful way to explore various regions of the world, the flow of the trip can be disrupted when unpredictable water levels affect your sailing. In fall 2018, drought conditions in Europe caused many sailings on the Danube and other rivers to be adjusted because of some of the lowest water levels in history. So what does the 2019 season look like and how are lines preparing? #RiverCruising #EuropeanRiver
For years, one of the highlights of Danube River cruises beginning or ending in Budapest was the nightly "illumination cruise" past the Hungarian capital's landmark buildings.

Live From AmaMora: Mora Activities, Mora Balconies, Mora Everything
AmaWaterways has been busy in 2019, launching 3 ships in Europe instead of its usual 1 or 2 per year. AmaMora is the third of the trio, following the debut of the double-wide AmaMagna on the Danube and the smaller AmaDouro in Portugal. Sailing seven-night itineraries on the Rhine, between Amsterdam and Basel, AmaMora has fewer points of difference, but it's no less of a beautiful, comfortable vessel with an outstanding crew and a wide range of activities to enjoy in diverse and delightful ports.

River Cruising: What's Included in River Cruise Fares?
What exactly do river cruise lines mean by the term "inclusive"? The word "inclusive" gets thrown around a lot, but what exactly does it mean? In the river cruise world, it's the term for amenities that are already part of your fare. Part of what makes river cruising so attractive -- and pricy -- is that more items such as shore excursions, Wi-Fi or wine at meals are already wrapped into the cost. Follow the link for a full rundown of what's included by cruise line! #RiverCruises
