River cruising evolves to include more families

River cruises continue to cater to adults, but they are increasingly becoming more of a family trip. "More and more families are going -- like the mother and father who are retired and have sons and daughters in their early 40s," said Sabine Harris, MCC, owner of Cruise Planners. Luelle Robinson, an independent affiliate of America's Vacation Center, agreed. "I am also seeing a lot of families that want to go together -- not the parents with their teenage/young children, but [instead] grown children that want to take their parents to see where their roots are."
