River Cruises

 In case you missed it,  Disney (Specifically Adventures By Disney)  is offering River Cruises in a partnership with Amawaterways.  Typically a vacation geared towards couples, Disney is “testing the waters” and marketing this newer type of cruising to families. Disney has partnered with Amawaterways,  which is building a new River boat with family needs factored into the design.  While not specifically built for Disney, this new boat will be able to accomodate families of 4 or 5, when the typical river cruise stateroom is designed for 2 or couples. There are also amenities geared towards children not normally found on a river cruise boat. River Cruises are different from ocean Cruises, in that the boats travel through…. Well… Rivers.
