Riverside Luxury Cruises
Riverside Luxury Cruises is one of the newest cruise line in the European cruising industry. With the acquisitions of Crystal's ships it makes them the most luxurious river cruise in Europe. Riverside has cabins which will accommodate 2 adults and 1 child in a cabin - a rarity in the river cruise line world. Exclusively, onboard the Mozart (the largest ship in the Riverside fleet), the Owner's Suite has a connecting cabin. Riverside will not have activities geared toward children onboard, children are welcome and can still have fun exploring the cities while experiencing the white glove experience Riverside is known for. It is a great way to explore in luxury.
AmaWaterways and Adventures By Disney
AmaWaterways has connecting cabins on some of their ships which is not common with most river cruise ships. These connecting cabins were created by the request of Disney. Adventures By Disney charters some of the AmaWaterways fleet for their family friendly cruises. One of the many advantages of cruising with Adventures by Disney, is that everything onboard has an incredible, special Disney touch to it, from cast member creating activities just for the kids to magical surprises for the whole family that only Disney can pull off.
