Creator's Key Takeaways

This was probably the best dining experience that I've had on land or on water anywhere.

I can't say enough good things about Riverside because I just found it exceptional.

The service was topnotch but it was very personal and they made little nuances that I'd never seen before.

The Vau Valley is spectacular it's just breathtaking.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare pricing models carefully as Riverside offers flexible packages (beverages, excursions) that may be cost-effective depending on your needs.
Consider shorter 3-4 day itineraries as add-ons to land tours or rail trips.
Book the shore excursion package if you want to maximize your time in port.
Don't worry about bringing extra cash for tips as gratuities are included.
