Actually, there are a couple companies that do river cruises in North America. I'm looking at doing one of these with my parents (to see if they like it... if they do, I'm hoping to take them to one in Europe). I know you can do them on the St. Lawrence River (in Canada) and the Mississippi; I suspect there are others, if you just choose a big waterway and Google it.
These aren't quilting cruises, but might be good if you're worried about seasickness, or want to do a lot of touring.
