I'm a travel agent specializing exclusively in river cruises, so this book was a must-read for me! I found it to be well-researched, well-organized and engaging. I especially appreciated the ship-by-ship rating section, which was a treasure trove of little tidbits you normally wouldn't know unless you experienced each ship for yourself. I haven't yet sailed on every river and every ship (I'm trying to, trust me!), but Douglas Ward's River Cruising in Europe is, without a doubt, the next best thing.
Thank you for your feedback.

I have great respect for Mr. Ward and since I am an avid cruiser I have found his Berlitz Cruise Guidebooks over the years to be of much value, and I had hoped he would author one on the rapidly expanding river cruise market in Europe. This first attempt will be helpful to those about to take their first cruise in that area. The list of river boats is not complete and probably because the list is growing almost monthly. With one single line (Viking) having over 50 vessels, many of them identical "longships", how can you do separate reviews on each of them? With the author's vast experience I am sure future editions will be reformulated to deal with these challenges.

For the first edition of a book that requires assimilating a lot of information I guess this is not a bad effort. The river cruise fleets are increasingly made up of a lot of highly standardised vessels, and describing them all separately when they to all intents and purposes the same is unnecessary. The background information is good and I agree with the author's overall assessment that AMA Waterways is probably top dog in this increasingly crowded market.

Very helpful reviews of river cruises, the river cruise ships, and the companies providing the cruises. We have booked a cruise on Viking, and look forward to enjoying it. This book will cause us to consider AMA in the future for cruises, as well as Viking.
