YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

European river cruises are a popular way to see the sights on rivers like the Rhine, Danube, Mosel, Douro, Main, including wine tastings, Christmas Markets, and many historical destinations. Some of the most popular river cruise lines are Plantours, AmaWaterways, Viking, A-Rosa and Nicko. However, fans of ocean cruising may be surprised by the restaurants and activities offered onboard... or lack thereof! #rivercruise #europe Get your "Washy Washy" T-Shirts and "BRB" Towels here: www.teespring.com/stores/very-unofficial-travel-guides Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Like the music?
