River Cruises are a tranquil and sophisticated way to explore the world. Rivers are symbols of settlement and the ever-flowing movement and change of life. They are also a great way of exploring! This could be a fantastic way for you to see the diverse cultures, landscapes and architecture of the places you visit in absolute comfort.

Some of the most popular river cruises journey to the Far East, taking you to exotic destinations to see the incredible temples and cultural landmarks of Angkor, Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap. 

 

2. Safari or Tour

If you have always wanted to see the polar bears and beluga whales in the Arctic, then this could be the adventure for you. Churchill, which is on the banks of Hudson Bay in Canada, is home to 60,000 Beluga Whales. Part of the trip includes a jet boat tour on the bay and river where you will see a multitude of Beluga whales and polar bears in the summer months as they leave the pack ice. Here, they relax on the rocks and swim in the water. If you like exploration and seeing wild animals in their natural habitat then this could be the trip for you.

Each trip is all-inclusive, and includes excursions, hotel accommodation, airport transfers and international flights meaning you are looked after on the trip from start to finish and don't have to worry about anything!

Cruises and the experiences you can have on them come in all shapes and sizes depending on what you are looking for as a couple.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises focuses on all-inclusive gourmet cuisine, the staff ratio is 1-1.5 so you get very personalised and attentive service, they are great for an anniversary, and normally offer pre-cruise hotels, flights, shore excursions, dining drinks and gratuities included. 

There is a whole host of destinations to choose from including the Caribbean islands, whether you want adventures on the sea or merely to see how many of the 365 beaches you can lie on in Antigua. See it as a challenge! If you would like to stay closer to home, then Europe is a great cruise destination including the Greek Islands, Croatia, Turkey, Italy and Spain.
