Creator's Key Takeaways

I have cruised before. I've done big cruises. I've never done a river cruise. And I have to say this was one of my favorite weeks of my entire life.

We had the entire ship just for our healthcare leadership cruise. So even all the excursions, all the events, everything we did was just with our group and it was I mean it was a transformative week.

The food was phenomenal. I would say the food on the ship to me was comparable, if not even better, than some of the restaurants we had on shore.

The service on the ship was phenomenal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider cruising in the shoulder season (March/April) for fewer crowds and a more relaxed experience.
If you're new to river cruising, it's a great way to experience luxury and included excursions without the stress of planning.
