Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm actually recording it on Thursday today and just a couple days ago I booked a river cruise that's leaving on Tuesday

I'm really excited to try one of these lesser expensive European river cruise lines again

the cruise is only a 4 night cruise and I think that's going to be great for right now because it's freaking cold outside

I'm looking forward to that and I'm sure I'll be posting pictures of it on Facebook and Instagram as well

YouTube Video Description

European River cruises on the Rhein, Mosel, and other popular rivers are mostly popular during the summer, or during the Christmas Market season. But did you know there are river cruiser lines running all year long? Next week, I'll travel to Düsseldorf, Germany to board the VIVA One and cruise up to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, and Nijmegen before returning to Düsseldorf and partying with the rest of the city for Karneval! #cruise #rivercruise #europe Get my NEW BOOK, "Places, Please!" on Amazon: Link for USA: https://amzn.to/49v7OCd Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qb5AAbSI9kcjptctjWs1g/join "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Australia: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09MV7KR5K Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: https://www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Amazon links to my gear, and other fun stuff I wish I had! https://www.amazon.com/shop/veryunofficialtravelguides Follow on: www.facebook.com/MorgansVeryunOfficialTravelGuides Instagram @MrMorganOBrien Twitter: @MrMorganOBrien Affiliate Links: I receive a small percentage from purchases made from affiliate links that may be contained in this description.
