Hmmmm, food for thought. Sounds appealing.

We are Elite Plus Captain CLub members on Celebrity and never book more than 3-4 months out for Ocean cruises. WE found that River Cruising is alot different primarily because of the size of the ships ....many only having 70-80 cabins. If you want to sail a particular date or month a river ship may only do that route twice in a month and just like ocean ships, there are not so good cabins on river ships especially if you get the lower deck with no balconly or elevator access. River cruise incentives are normaly offered early ie there are alot of 2015 incentives for both summer and fall sailings being offered right now on practically all the river ships. Unfortunately the cabins offered 3 months out most likely will not be what you want or expected.
Granted alot of things can happen in 12-14 months until you sail but then that is why you buy insurance!
