CAA provides services for Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. These are higher end cruises, costing from $10,000 and up.

Wheel & Anchor have a barge tour of Champagne.

Travel for Travellers by GLP Worldwide based in Markham have cruises around the world. I saw an ad for their Mekong River cruise seeing Vietnam and Cambodia which starts at $3,315.

American Cruise Lines has a large collection of river and coastal cruises throughout the United States. They also do long thematic tours (like the Civil War) that involve a possible combination of cruises, flights and land transportation. A particularly interesting river cruise is the extensive 12-day New Orleans to Memphis cruise.

OCEAN & SEA

Recent Google search found Seabourn that have cruises around the world and have many deals for solo travellers.

Azamara has interesting small ship cruises to exotic ports: Antarctic, Cape Town to the Canaries, etc. Also see my Africa page section on Cruises.
