River Cruise Selection Tool


River Cruise Selection Tool

Answer a short series of questions about how you like to travel. The tool narrows a broad river-cruise market to the one or two lines most aligned with your preferences—and explains why.

Prototype V1 • 20 river-cruise brands • Match Confidence model

Find the river cruise that fits you

This is not a “best cruise line” ranking. It matches your preferences against differences in service, inclusions, touring style, ship design, activity, value, destination and traveler profile.

18 core questionsMost are single-click and take only a few minutes.
Top 1–2 recommendationsYou will see why the first choice outranked the runner-up.
Match ConfidenceConfidence reflects fit, separation from the next choice, evidence strength and answer quality.
Adaptive tie-breakerIf the top two are close, one additional question can sharpen the result.

Prototype note: This tool uses a structured competitive model, not live fares or inventory. Destination coverage, current inclusions and specific ship availability should be verified before purchase. Match Confidence is a model confidence score, not a statistical guarantee of satisfaction.



Prototype methodology: geography is treated as an eligibility gate; structured answers are converted into weighted traveler preferences; each eligible line receives a fit score; Match Confidence incorporates absolute fit, distance from the runner-up, evidence strength and completeness. Current fares, promotions, water conditions and ship-specific service performance are intentionally outside this V1 model.
