This is a continuation of a series featuring my favorite cruises of 2016, to be compiled in an ebook that will be published on January 31, 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you enjoy bicycling and seeing new places? If so, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better\u00a0mix than bicycling in Europe during your\u00a0river cruise.<\/p>\n In August, I did just that, traveling with my 19-year-old son on a\u00a0“bikes and boats” trip with\u00a0AmaWaterways and Backroads. As regular readers of River Cruise Advisor know,\u00a0AmaWaterways is a multi-awarded river cruise company. Not as well known among RCA’s readers, Backroads bills itself as the world’s #1 active travel company.\u00a0The combination of cycling and river cruising was a match made in heaven, and a perfect way to travel\u00a0for this father and son duo.<\/p>\n
