River cruising is “having a moment,” as Zane Kerby, president and chief executive officer of the American Society of Travel Advisors, said earlier this year at ASTA’s sold-out River Cruise Expo in Amsterdam.
Travelers are turning to river cruise vacations because they enjoy the ease and simplicity of only having to unpack once. They like traveling on smaller ships, with more intimate groups of fellow travelers. And they appreciate being able to dock right in the heart of many cities—it's like staying at a boutique, floating hotel.

But travelers have lots of options when it comes to choosing a river cruise line. Many lean on a trusted travel advisor to help them decide which company, itinerary and ship is right for them.
And when it comes to the best river cruises, travel advisors have spoken. They cast their votes to determine the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners in several river cruise categories during the 2024 Travvy Awards.Produced by TravelPulse and AGENTatHOME, the Travvy Awards recognize the best suppliers across the travel industry.
