IG RiverCruise

To represent the interests of the river cruise shipping companies (operators), the interest group IG RiverCruise was founded in 2000. In the meantime, IG RiverCruise is a registered association based in Basel, Switzerland, and currently represents around 365 river cruise ships (90 % of the European market). In addition to representing common, fundamental interests and concerns of members relevant to river cruise shipping vis-à-vis third parties, IG RiverCruise also sees itself as a contact and representative of the European river cruise industry. Further responsibilities include the promotion and development of the image of the river cruise industry, with special emphasis on the topics of environment and sustainability, safety and training, and the maintenance of contacts with organizations, institutions, umbrella associations and associations related to the industry.
