What Creators Are Saying About Shawn Power-Your Trusted Cruise&Tauck Tour Expert!
I'm very happy to be able to provide this decked top tobottom tour of one of my favorite ships, Oceanana Cruis's Riviera.

Peter Knego's MidShipCinema
The flight should never ever be the worst part of your vacation. It's the beginning of your vacation.

Corey
the Prima is actually one of the ships we have the Christmas market cruise on and I am very pleased to say that the ship is very nice, really wellappointed

Dawn
If you are huge into food, and that is a big consideration for you, then AmaWaterways definitely takes the lead on that one.

Yaycations - The River Cruise Queen
I noticed the first thing that I already really liked about small ship cruising, and that was the fact that this was the most non-chaotic embarkation day I ever had.

About our Bacon Score methodologyWhat Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“It's only like six or seven. I think the most I ever see is maybe 8% more money than the middle deck, but it's a 33% bigger room.”
“I just had this um glass of Veuve Clicquot poured for me, uh you know, which is the champagne that they serve on board.”
“Every drink is included, every tip is included, every shore excursion is is is included is included.”
“I've personally traveled with Tauck about 14, maybe 13 or 14 times now and my clients love Tauck.”
“We're literally saving like $20,000 on airfare rather than flying back every year and doing the same trips.”
“So, the point is there's just no privacy in these rooms. You're pretty much always going to have the drapes closed when you're um when you're in port.”
“It's kind of like you're kind of touching everything at once. The main thing a lot of people don't like about this one is the bathroom.”
“I suggest not getting a room on deck 3 and this is the reason why.”
“I would never really recommend anyone going on panant uh directly”
“But Viking River Cruisers was started like 30 years ago and they were always about quality over quantity. So, they basically jam the most people on their ships.”
