Creator's Key Takeaways
I can tell you that the Tennessee River is gorgeous, and it's really something that a lot of people overlook, but it's a river that should be on your bucket list in my opinion.
I loved our Colors of Provence cruise on Amma Christina with Amma waterways. We sailed in France from Leyon to Abinon on the Ran River.
The last night we were enjoying glasses of wine from the sund deck of Viking Forsetti, the river cruise ship. And we had prime awesome views of the Bastile Day fireworks that July.
We went on a yacht cruise with Emerald Cruises aboard their ship Emeraldsa in the Mediterranean, and it was less than you might think costwise.
