The recent news about Europe reopening to vaccinated travelers this summer was, obviously, welcome news for the long-shuttered river cruise industry.
But with opening dates and details on country-specific buy-in for welcoming travelers still elusive, river operators say it s too soon to say exactly when the season will resume. Still, there s renewed optimism about getting Americans back on Europe s waterways this summer, and possibly sooner than was widely predicted just a month ago. Finally, things are looking up, said Marcus Leskovar, executive vice president of Amadeus River Cruises, which ran a limited series of sailings last summer for European guests. We are currently planning to start the season in June and are preparing for the first group of American passengers onboard a Rhone cruise on July 1, with more American passengers to follow that month and a full return to sailings for Americans in August.

Expedition cruises lead the way when it comes to seeking out the remote corners of the planet. The simmering pools and steaming fumaroles of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in far eastern Russia. how does one get there? By ship, of course. Struggling to choose between the Arctic or Antarctica?
