AAA has a vast amount of river cruises to choose from, including European river cruises, Russian river cruises, China river cruises, and river cruises right here in the US such as Columbia and Mississippi river cruises, just to name a few.

So Much to See and Plenty of Time to See It

Discover Europe's medieval treasures in a whole new way when you cruise her ancient waterways. See castles you thought were only in fairy tales, and massive palaces of kings and emperors.

Experience the Orient in style. A river cruise down the Mekong will bring you closer to the distinct culture and beauty of Thailand. While a journey along the Yangtze River will take you deep into the heart of China.

You can even take a trip down some of our own American rivers. There are some to explore on each side of the country and plenty in the middle. So you can see your homeland like you’ve never seen it before.

AAA - Mediterranean Cruise

Whisk Yourself Away to a Time Before Cruises (B.C.)

Experience the paths once walked by pharaohs and prophets. Feel the sense of history and underlying mystery. When you take a Mediterranean cruise, you can’t help but think of the gladiators, poets, artists, writers and adventurers that once roamed these lands.

The ports and islands you’ll visit on your Mediterranean cruise are as diverse as they come, and there’s something for everyone. Cruise Europe from the rugged beauty of Sicily and Corsica to the modern-day nightlife of Ibiza. And then there’s Greece. Cruise the Greek isles, which alone could take you a lifetime to explore — from Crete and Rhodes to Santorini and Mykonos – and you will learn why Greek cruises are so popular.

A Mediterranean Cruise Offers a Feast for the Senses

Explore the places where Europe's earliest civilizations flourished and their legacies live on. You can walk through cities once occupied by legendary figures such as Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and the pharaohs of Egypt. Visit ancient ruins and the remains of ancient cultures in countries like Greece, Italy and Turkey. Savor fine wines and sample local delicacies, stand in awe before the works of Michelangelo, tour the medieval cathedrals and palaces of France and Spain, and visit the casinos of Monte Carlo. It’s no wonder people consider the Mediterranean a world unto itself.

Car rentals make any trip easier, and can always come in handy if you’ve been in a fender bender. Of course, there are always precautions to take so you don’t end up paying more than you bargained for.

By keeping a checklist including the following, you can be sure that you don’t get hit with surprise charges:

* Inspect your car rental and take note of existing damages such as dents, scratches and any broken items
* Write down anything that you discover doesn’t work as you drive, such as windshield wipers, radio, AC, and CD players
* Also, be sure to fill the gas tank before returning it to the agency so you are not given any extra charges

As always, your AAA representative can help you find a car — at a location near you — that meets your size, destination and seating preferences.

American Automobile Association

The AAA (pronounced "triple-A"), formerly known as the American Automobile Association, is a 50 million member North American not-for-profit automobile lobby group, service organization, and seller of vehicle insurance. Its national headquarters are near Orlando, Florida in Heathrow, Florida.

History

The American Automobile Association was founded on March 4, 1902, in Chicago, Illinois as a response to a lack of roads and highways suitable for automobiles. The organization originally had 1000 charter members, who were generally of an auto enthusiast demographic. AAA’s membership base is and was formed from 9 local and regional motor clubs that combined forces to create a more powerful organization.

The association expanded its scope of services as years progressed. The first AAA road maps were published in 1905, and AAA began printing hotel guides in 1917. AAA began its School Safety Patrol Program in 1920, and many driver safety programs followed in the decades to come. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which conducts a large volume of studies regarding motorist safety, was established as separate entity in 1947.

AAA was a sanctioning organization for auto racing in the United States until 1956. It sanctioned many races, including the Indianapolis 500. After the 1955 Le Mans disaster, AAA decided that auto racing distracted from its primary goals, and the United States Automobile Club was formed to take over the race sanctioning/officiating.
