Picture yourself on a boat on a river. Our second Media 55 interview and ad deals with river cruising, an extremely hot activity along the rivers of Europe and elsewhere. On river cruises, you glide along the ancient highways of the Old World, stopping in the center of town, and transiting from place to place while you eat and sleep. Demand is so great that the companies offering river cruising continue to add new ships year after year. Destinations have expanded from Europe to Asia and Africa. The Great American Steamboat Company this year resurrected cruises along the great rivers of the Mississippi system.

Nancy Ecker of Tauck Travel joined me for this month’s interview. Tauck’s tours and cruises are known for their inclusiveness, cultural sophistication and luxury. The Tauck experience stands out and has many fans who will accept nothing less. Watch the video to hear what was discussed and view the Tauck river cruise experience.

At Expedia CruiseShipCenters, we can arrange wonderful vacations of a lifetime aboard a Tauck riverboat, on a Tauck land tour and with a myriad of other cruise lines and tour companies.
