ADLER TRAVEL
"Wake up in a new city every morning. and step ashore right in the heart of it. No buses, no transfers, no wasted time."
WHY RIVER CRUISING
River cruising is the most immersive way to experience a destination. While ocean ships anchor offshore and ferry passengers to crowded docks, river cruise ships tie up directly in the heart of town, putting you steps from the cathedral, the market square, and the hidden local spots that don't show up in mainstream travel guides.
At Adler Travel, we've been booking Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon, Scenic, and Uniworld for decades. We know which lines have the best food, which ships have the most comfortable cabins, and which itineraries offer the right balance of guided excursions and free time. That knowledge takes years to accumulate, and it's entirely at your disposal when you work with one of our advisors.
Whether you're dreaming of the Rhine in autumn, the Danube through Vienna and Budapest, the Douro Valley through Portugal's wine country, the Nile through ancient Egypt, or the Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia, we'll find the right sailing and the right ship for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Step off the ship directly into historic town centers, no tenders, no bus transfers, no wasted time.
World-class onboard dining paired with regional wines, plus curated culinary shore excursions in every port.
Your cabin travels with you from destination to destination. No packing, no hotels, no dragging luggage through the streets.
Choose your excursion style each day, active, classic, or discovery, with local expert guides at every port.

"Waking up to a different castle every morning. That is something you simply cannot replicate on a land tour. Donna found us the perfect sailing and cabin. We've already booked a second cruise."
Patricia & Bob W., Cheshire
Viking Rhine, 8 Days
"The Rhône through Provence was everything we'd dreamed of: lavender fields, Roman amphitheaters, and extraordinary food. Our advisor steered us toward AmaWaterways and we couldn't have been happier."
Susan B., North Haven
AmaWaterways Rhône, 8 Days
"Sailing into Budapest at night with the Parliament lit up was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. John made sure we had the right cabin, a French balcony facing the riverbank the entire way."
Carol T., Madison
