Creator's Key Takeaways

I was invited by Riviera travel to try a luxury seven night River Cruise

I was so intrigued to see how I'd find the size of this ship by the end of the week would I love being on a much smaller ship or would I be getting cabin fever

I was really surprised at just how relaxing I found the whole experience to be

I was really surprised that the fact that there wasn't any pressure to get involved with anything either on board the ship or off the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a package with Riviera Travel to include flights or Eurostar transfers for convenience
Take advantage of the included walking tours to start your day, then explore independently
Enjoy the relaxed dress code and feel free to dress comfortably for dinner

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ships are much smaller with less to do on boardThe ship was well-equipped and the experience was relaxing; there was no pressure to be constantly engaged
River cruises might not feel the same as ocean cruises because you see land the entire timeThe constant scenery was enjoyable and relaxing, and being docked at night allowed for evening exploration
Might not fit the typical demographic of a river cruiserThe experience was flexible and welcoming, with no pressure to conform to any specific group
