Creator's Key Takeaways

number one is do not expect necessarily your itinerary is going to be staying the same or even that you're going to end up at the end of your cruise on the same ship that you started on

river cruises are much more rigorously scheduled than you will find on ocean cruises

food is very good on river cruises from all my experiences and all my friends who've cruised on a river cruise say it's it's great

river cruises can often be way noisier than an ocean cruise and i mean just the general atmosphere noise

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check what is truly included in 'all-inclusive' packages, as extras may cost more
βœ“Be prepared for smaller cabins and limited packing space
βœ“Expect regimented dining times and no room service on most river cruises
βœ“Consider the physical demands of shore excursions, which often involve extensive walking
βœ“Be aware that river cruises can be noisier due to limited space and lock passages
