The Best River Cruises in the Americas
America’s history-rich rivers and the Amazon rainforest.
Get Free River Cruise QuotesThe Americas offer two very different river worlds: America’s own history-rich rivers, and the Amazon rainforest.
The Mississippi
The Mississippi is America’s great river cruise. The lower river links New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natchez, Vicksburg and Memphis — music, Civil War history and Southern towns; the upper river runs between St. Louis and St. Paul through bluffs, locks and small river towns that glow in autumn. American Cruise Lines and Viking both sail the river with modern riverboats and paddlewheelers. No passport is needed for a domestic sailing, and U.S. medical care is close at hand. US River Cruising covers every American river.
The Columbia and Snake
In the Pacific Northwest, river cruises follow the Columbia and Snake rivers inland from the Portland area, through the Columbia River Gorge and into the wine and wheat country of eastern Washington, retracing parts of Lewis and Clark’s route. The gorge, with its cliffs and waterfalls, is one of America’s most dramatic river landscapes. Columbia River Cruising has the itineraries.
The Amazon
For nature, nothing in the Americas compares with the Amazon. In Peru, small expedition ships sail the upper Amazon and its tributaries into reserves such as Pacaya-Samiria; in Brazil, voyages start from Manaus where the Rio Negro meets the Amazon. Days revolve around skiff outings with naturalist guides. It is remote, warm and humid, and it asks for health preparation and good insurance — and it is unforgettable. Amazon River Cruising covers the operators and seasons.
