Have you ever thought about taking a European River Cruise? There are many cruise lines that do an excellent job of them! Here are the top 5 reasons to try one now!
1. Effortless travel through multiple destinations
Unpack once and enjoy a seamless journey through beautiful cities, towns and countrysides. Your hotel moves with you-no need for constant transfers, taxis, packing and unpacking!!
2. Scenic and Intimate Experience
River cruises offer ever-changing views just outside your window. With smaller ships, you can cruise into the heart of charming towns and dock in central locations—places big ocean ships simply can’t reach.
3. Culturally Rich and Immersive Itineraries
Many river cruises include guided excursions, local cuisine, and onboard lectures or performances, so you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the region's history, art, and culture. Another bonus: there will be passengers from around the world to meet and get to know!
4. All-Inclusive Convenience
Most river cruises bundle accommodations, meals, excursions, and even drinks or gratuities into the fare. This creates a hassle-free, budget-friendly travel experience.
5. Relaxed, Upscale Atmosphere
Expect a more refined, uncrowded setting with excellent service. There are fewer passengers than on ocean liners, which means personalized attention and a more peaceful environment. Most river cruises only have 150-200 people on board.
There are many different brands to try at all budget levels! Riviera, Viking, Avalon, AmaWaterways, Uniworld and many more! Soon to come too: Celebrity Cruise Line is about to launch their own line of river cruising! So many boats and destinations to visit!
