I genuinely was really really impressed I loved sitting in the dining room watching the ships just gliding by the window outside

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“If you want to get off your river cruise and go and explore and stop and have a snack, head one or two streets back from the main town square to save money
โœ“If you leave a ship independently, double check that it's definitely going to be there when you plan to return
โœ“Consider water levels when planning a river trip, as high water can prevent ships from traveling under bridges

I spent 7 nights onboard Emily Bronte, the luxury river cruise ship from Riviera Travel, and I experienced both the Rhine and Moselle rivers as part of this cruise.

Iโ€™m also going to share with you how I found a river cruise as a younger person - did I enjoy it, or did I find it boring? Let me tell you all about it. Iโ€™ll show you life onboard, the food, the drinks, the entertainment, and also life ashore including things like the excursions that are included on a Riviera Travel river cruise.
