If you have been to any city on a river, you must have seen river ships. In some cities, it gets so busy with river ships it must be hard to book space, certainly premium dock areas. Living in Budapest while working for HBO I watched with envy as the ships came and went every day. I still have yet to go on one, and it is a bucket list dream, but my agent fills my diary with ocean cruises and the opportunity keeps escaping me.

It is hard whatever type of cruise you look at, to ask where it stops and starts. So, on river cruising, we cannot exclude mentioning that Norwegian water specialists Hurtigruten go to places in the north that few others do. We also have to add that even large ocean ships find their way into the fjords. So, we are not neglecting any ship from our mention of river cruises because the Amazon is a river and on the Mississippi, we get into paddle steamers. I guess this page is to celebrate the Danube, the Rhine, the Seine, the Nile and many of the world’s other great rivers that historic cities were built on. It is just to say that Doris Visits is beginning to learn, with your help and we are a community, about river cruising. Here we start to feature here the river ships.
