Pilkington's Ultimate Guide to the Best Luxury River Cruises

As a travel advisor, I've had the opportunity to enjoy several river cruises. My first hand experience, as well as my relationships with the cruise lines, can be valuable in helping you to make the best decision. Embarking on a river cruise is a luxurious journey along the world's most picturesque rivers with a luxury river cruise. Here's how we work together to plan your next unforgettable experience:


  1. Talk with a Travel Advisor: A river cruise is quite an investment, and a travel advisor (that's ME) has expertise to help you make the best decision and get the best value. We also have exclusive perks (i.e. $300 onboard credit) with most river cruise companies that you won't get by booking on your own. Also, just because they have fancy commercials on PBS doesn't mean they're the best!

  2. Choose Your Destination: I can help you to select a river cruise destination that appeals to you, such as the Danube, Rhine, Nile, Mekong, or Amazon. Even Venice is an option!

  3. Select the Best Cruise Line for YOU: Most luxury river cruise lines offer great service, gourmet dining, and well-appointed accommodations. I'll help you choose the best for your needs and your budget.

  4. Itinerary Planning: I'll help you find itineraries that include visits to charming towns, historic sites, and cultural landmarks along the riverbanks.

  5. Cabin Selection: We will find the best stateroom or suite for you, ideally with a private balcony for stunning views of the passing scenery. Location matters (i.e. engine noise)!

  6. Onboard Amenities: Enjoy onboard amenities such as fine dining restaurants, wellness centers, lounges, and entertainment options. This varies by cruise line!

  7. Excursions: Take advantage of guided shore excursions led by knowledgeable local guides to explore each destination in depth. Do you want more or less options available?

  8. Relaxation Time: Unwind on deck as you sail past picturesque landscapes, or pamper yourself with spa treatments and leisure activities.

  9. Culinary Delights: Indulge in gourmet cuisine featuring regional specialties and fine wines as part of your all-inclusive river cruise experience. I'll use my first hand experience to help you make the best decision.

  10. Personalized Service: Experience personalized service from attentive staff who cater to your every need, ensuring a seamless and memorable journey.

  11. Celebrate Special Occasions: Consider a luxury river cruise for special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, or romantic getaways for an unforgettable celebration. I will communicate with the cruise line to make your celebration even more special!
