River cruises are well designed cruises – you are neither seasick nor loose sight of land as in blue water cruises and neither do you pack, unpack or hip-hop hotels like in a car or motor coach tour. The River Explorer sails over rivers Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio – to and fro on four to ten days trips throughout year. Vacationers can sprawl on Sky Deck, read, play games or watch videos. The dining is casual, informal having no assigned seating. You can meander into pilothouse and catch a glimpse of real-time radar and navigational charts, if interested. At various ports storytellers, bluegrass and blues bands, dancers and Cajuns step aboard to entertain guests.

You learn about America’s heritage-it’s a rich experience to understand development of commerce and industry in America or why river towns Tenn. and Clarksville were founded. Imagine seeing colors along riverbanks or rising sun or setting sun-are truly natural wonders. You might like to undertake shore excursions to New Orleans French Quarter or Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn. It is such a wonderful idea to have some river cruises to observe themes like 1950’s music, big bands, old-fashioned holidays, or fall foliage along Ohio River.

If you love gourmet food, Aruba doesn’t disappoint on this front either. Every resort has its own buffet, featuring local and American cuisine, and plenty of seafood. One or two sit-down restaurants inside of each resort serve dinner, exquisitely delicious and fresh.

After a long, relaxing day of being pampered and soaking up sun at your all inclusive resort, enjoy one of Aruba’s Vegas-style shows. The Broadway and Latin shows are long-time staples, along with hilarious Don’t Tell Mama show. You can also try your hand at poker or blackjack inside one of Aruba’s dozen casinos. Back at your all-inclusive resort, drinks are, of course, included. Order your favorite and don’t worry about wallet – at an all-inclusive Aruba resort, you don’t need it.

It’s true what they say in Aruba – it is One Happy Island.
