ENTERTAINMENT AND ENRICHMENT

Feathered showgirls, aerial acts and hackneyed vocalists are nowhere to be found on a river vessel or small ship. Instead, you’ll discover a small cadre of talented musicians who perform in the lounge each evening, taking requests, and interacting with you and your fellow guests. Frequently, the entertainment after dinner will include local talent who are eager to share their artistry, voices, and culture with you.

LOCAL COLOR

While in Europe, don’t be surprised if a local opera troupe comes aboard and lifts your spirits with a few arias from The Magic Flute, La Bohème, or The Barber of Seville. A classical violinist might lead you through the intricate melodies of Mozart and Bach. A traditional Russian dance is center stage on the Volga, a night with Mark Twain’s wit and wisdom is on tap aboard a Mississippi riverboat and local Laplanders tell their stories in the Norwegian Fjords. Even through the choice of entertainment, the destination is the star on a Select Waterways cruise.
