SURVEY RESULTS: Your 2021 Travel Plans

Around this time last year, we ran a survey asking our readers when they expected to travel again. Europe, responded nearly 75 percent of river cruisers. On the oceans, Europe and the Mediterranean ranked first, with about 27 percent of the vote, followed by the Caribbean with 25 percent.

We figured this was a perfect time to run a similar survey, with Europe planning to open to vaccinated US travelers this summer and cruises starting back up in the Caribbean as soon as June. Here is what our readers had to say about their travel plans for 2021 and beyond.

AmaWaterways Adds Second Seven River Journey

In response to the launch of its first-ever Seven River Journey Through Europe, AmaWaterways announced a second Seven River Journey – Spring. This new 45-night itinerary offers guests extra time to discover the springtime floral splendor of Netherlands and Belgium along with the opportunity to experience AmaMagna sailing the upper and lower Danube during the final two weeks of the trip.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHT: Riviera’s Rhine & Moselle Solo Cruise

Traveling solo can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but oftentimes it comes at a big cost. Solo passengers often have to pay single supplements, meaning that they usually must dole out what a couple would pay for the same stateroom. On October 26th, 2022, I will be hosting solo only river cruise with Emma Cakmak from A Passport To Travel. This eight-night sailing on the Rhine and Moselle rivers is the perfect opportunity for solo travelers looking to avoid paying a single supplement. Prices start at US$3,639 per person.

Riviera River Cruises to Require Full Vaccination Or Negative COVID-19 Test

Riviera River Cruises has announced that all guests boarding its ships when European river cruising restarts will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or present a negative test prior to travel.

U.S. Cruises Restarted This Past Weekend, Crystal Starting Soon & A Big Surprise From Viking

Two cruises companies have resumed operations in U.S. waters; one company will start close-to-home cruises the day before America’s Independence Day; coronavirus cases and deaths are plunging; vaccines are getting into people’s arms; life is ambling back to normal. All of that combined feels almost as good as casting off from the piers and setting sail for voyages of enjoyment and discovery. Welcome back cruising. We’ve missed you.
