Creator's Key Takeaways
Tauck is truly the most all-inclusive not only is it the most all-inclusive River Cruise they even give you money cash when you are going outside the ship to have lunch or dinner
Viking did put cruises on the map and they have over 80 ships they really know how to do river cruises but what they don't want is they don't want to make it all-inclusive
Avalon has really done a great job in getting the these two brothers who own a vegetarian restaurant in Vienna to be their executive chefs
If you want a luxury experience and you don't pay for anything go on Tauck but if you want an experience that you don't pay as much then Avalon would be your what you would go to
