The newest and quickly becoming a popular choice for multi generation family cruises.
Is a European River Cruise on your travel list? Unlike ocean cruising, river cruising has a much more intimate feel with the countries you travel through. As one river cruise operator says, “oceans take you to the countries but rivers take you through the countries“.
If local cuisine and culture interest you, then river cruising will be the perfect choice for you. Most river cruise ships have anywhere from 36 to 190 passengers, so the service while on the ship is unbeatable, with usually no more than 3:1 guest to staff ratio. The food is locally sourced from the region you are traveling through, so you get all the local favorite cuisine.
On a river cruise, you can customize your excursions to fit your ability...whether it is biking through a field of tulips or taking a guided walking tour through the heart of the city. Stop in a sidewalk cafe for a local wine or perhaps a speciality food from the region.
One thing is certain, river cruising is for anyone interested in culture, history, and/or local cuisine.
