Start with my sticky at the top of this forum.

Welcome to the River Cruise Board! Yes do read the Sticky posted above and then just start reading past threads.... Very educational and full of great info.

 

Next go online to the many River Cruise companies and order brochures... They will give you an idea of the many itineraries available and the pricing.... Also great info about the ships and cabins.

 

It's a lot easier to compare brochures side by side rather than trying to go back and forth on internet websites.

 

Some places to start are the internet websites of:

Viking

AMA

Avalon

Uniworld

Scenic

Vantage

 

There are more but this is a good start.... If you are serious about River Cruising get these brochures coming and start reading the many threads and reviews of trips taken by our posters.

Sorry Nana but you must have forgotten to add Tauck to your list.

Yep your right.... I always seem to forget someone! Gate 1 & Grand Circle too ;)

Oh heck things are getting complicated, to many river cruise companies add A-Rosa and Crousie though I am pretty sure these lines have many passengers speaking languages other than English.
