Sail the World's Famed Rivers at Discounted Rates
HOUSTON, July 3 PRNewswire — River cruises offer a unique experience, combining intimate cruising along the world's scenic rivers with guided sightseeing in fascinating cities and towns. Right now, major river cruise operators are beginning to release their 2009 itineraries. Travelers should book early to get the best selection in departure dates and cabins — and the lowest available rates. You'll also find some great deals for holiday cruises this winter.

"Many river cruise companies offer incentives for booking and paying for your vacation well in advance," says Troy Bringle, vice president of the tours and resorts division at Vacations To Go. "The early-booking discounts offered with newly released itineraries typically are the best prices customers will see all year. Also, when you book early, you have the best chance of getting the itinerary and departure you want — the most desirable dates and itineraries sell out fast," he says.
For example, Viking offers savings of $1,000 per couple ($500 per person) off 2009 river cruises in China and Europe if you book and pay in full by July 31 (http://www.rivercruise.com/specials.cfm?id=950&op=VI&source=prnewswire).
Uniworld has savings of $600-$2,000 per couple ($300-$1,000 per person) off 2009 Europe sailings if you book and pay in full by September 30 (http://www.rivercruise.com/specials.cfm?op=UW&jpw=pr&source=prnewswire).
Globus offers $600 per couple off the air-inclusive price of its 2009 river cruises, or $250 per couple off the cruise-only price (http://www.rivercruise.com/specials.cfm?id=1005&op=G&source=prnewswire).
If you're looking for a unique vacation this year, there are still some fantastic deals on sailings that visit the Christmas markets of Germany and Austria. Join the festivities with Gate 1 Travel, for example, which offers savings of $600 per couple off Christmas market cruises (expires July 31) (http://www.rivercruise.com/specials.cfm?id=1039&op=G1&source=prnewswire).
Budgeting your river cruise is easy, as meals and onboard entertainment are included in the up-front price. River ships are smaller than oceangoing vessels, allowing them to navigate narrow waterways. They often dock in the heart of town, close to historic city centers.
River cruises cover a wide range of experiences. In Europe, sail past castles and vineyards. See Egyptian treasures along the Nile, or take in the majestic Three Gorges on the Yangtze. Your river cruise will be a vacation you'll never forget.
