Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Today, I'd like to tell you about the highlights of cruising the eight most popular rivers outside Europe. Vacations To Go offers the widest variety of river cruise itineraries, and we have arranged fantastic discounts and special promotions for our customers.

Mississippi River sailings explore one of America's historic treasures: a 2,320-mile waterway that flows through 10 states from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Ships call at cities that flourished on the river, like St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans. Guests visit Civil War battlefields, restored plantation homes and picturesque towns.

Save up to $1,200 per couple on river cruises with American Queen Steamboat Company when you book certain cabin categories.

Columbia River cruises showcase the rugged beauty of America's Pacific Northwest and tell the stories of the Nez Perce people, Lewis and Clark and the pioneers who arrived via the Oregon Trail. You can choose excursions that visit the towering cascades of Multnomah Falls, volcanic Mount St. Helens and Portland's International Rose Test Garden.

Nile River itineraries, which usually combine a river voyage with a Cairo hotel stay, provide a terrific way to delve into the vast history of Egypt. Ancient sights are prominently featured, like the Pyramids of Giza, the colossal statues of Ramses II at the Abu Simbel temple and the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were buried.

Mekong River trips through Cambodia and Vietnam reveal scenes from bustling cities, rural villages and floating markets.
