America's Rivers

River cruising in North America centers on the Mississippi, where voyages link New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natchez, Vicksburg and Memphis, with longer routes continuing north toward St. Louis and the Upper Mississippi. Small river ships dock right in town, so you can step ashore for plantation tours, blues clubs and riverside museums. Other waterways, including the Columbia and Snake Rivers in the Pacific Northwest, offer scenic itineraries on select dates.
