provide and our commitment to excellence. SGE has been in business since 1971,
offering outstanding river journeys to people from all over the world. We

and enjoy their adventure. Many of our guests have been coming back year after
year due to the wonderful experience they have had on the river with
us.

years old and have a minimum of Red Cross Advanced 1st Aid and CPR
