Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

This week, I'll tell you about some of the themed river cruises that we offer at RiverCruise.com. Click any link to view limited-time offers and search for available trips.

Christmas market cruises take in the famous outdoor holiday bazaars of Europe. You can stroll among decorated stalls that sell handcrafted ornaments, toys and woodcarvings and enjoy treats such as gingerbread, grilled sausages and mulled wine. You also can ring in the New Year on select sailings.

Food and drink cruises explore a region's culinary traditions, and passengers are invited to participate in tastings, food pairings and cooking demonstrations. Wine cruises in Europe focus on vineyards along the Danube, Rhine, Douro, Seine, Saone and Rhone rivers and in France's Bordeaux region. Avalon Waterways also has cruises for beer enthusiasts.

Tulip-time cruises are offered from March to early May, when the flower fields of the Netherlands peak in color. A highlight of these itineraries on Dutch and Belgian waterways is a visit to Keukenhof Gardens, an 80-acre park planted with more than 7 million bulbs.

Riviera Travel offers a selection of river cruises dedicated to solo travelers, with no single supplement. This is a great option for guests who are traveling alone or who want their own stateroom while traveling with friends.

Music cruises celebrate a variety of genres. In Europe, look into the lives of composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss and the Old World cities that inspired them.

Family-friendly cruises are geared toward those who'd like to travel with their children or grandchildren. These departures feature onboard amenities and shore excursions tailored to young guests.

European history cruises primarily visit World War II battlefields and landmarks.

Avalon's Active & Discovery cruises in Europe provide specially designed shore outings. These can include energetic activities, like biking or kayaking, as well as interactive discoveries such as composing your own waltz, participating in a cocktail workshop or meeting an apple farmer and exploring a family orchard.
