river cruises and boat trips
Explanation:
My only hesitation is that "Linienschifffahrt" might refer to ferry services rather than river cruises. "excursions" is not an adequate translation, because an excursion might equally well be on land rather than on a river. "River excursions and boat trips" would be okay. As would "River excursions and ferry services", if the company runs ferry services.

Explanation:
Good morning Martina!
Since the name of the company (Inn Cruises) clearly implies 'boats' you needn't say it again. The same goes for cruises
