Creator's Key Takeaways

the great news for everyone is that if at home you're already out there participating in society a lot of the things you're already doing at home are going to be the same life you're leading here on an avalon river cruise in the south of france

it was such a nice touch and i was so appreciative of that

so you may have heard that on many european airlines mass are lovely fabric masks lots of people now have a collection of stylish ones that go with their outfits but those masks are not allowed on some european airlines only surgical masks are allowed but once you're here in france and on board the ship bring out that collection of fabric masks again and again such a lovely touch

avalon waterways not only arranges for those tests for its guests it also covers the costs which is quite a wonderful service

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring fabric masks for use on the ship, as they are allowed and laundered complimentary.
โœ“Don't worry about showing vaccination proof on excursions; Avalon handles it behind the scenes.
โœ“Use the touchless check-in and check-out system for safety and convenience.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Everyone wants to know: what's river cruising like post-COVID? World's Greatest Cruises' Producer and Host Lynn Elmhirst went on an @AvalonWaterways River cruise on the Rhone River in the south of France in Fall, 2021, to experience first hand if the pandemic has changed the experience of river cruising. As the pandemic ebbs, so do health protocols change, but as they say "seeing is believing." Even with the protocols in effect in Fall, 2021, many of which have been relaxed, returning to the rivers of Europe on a river cruise has never felt so good!
