Creator's Key Takeaways

compared to an ocean cruise the first day and the last day of a river cruise are so easy

the river itself is an attraction depending on what stretch of what river you are cruising just sitting on deck and watching the scenery go by is one of the highlights for me of river cruising

european river cruising does not have to be that expensive you do not have to pay 300 a night to have a fantastic european river cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for a schedule with multiple city stops per day and plan excursions accordingly
Enjoy the scenery from the deck as a main attraction of river cruising

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Lack of variety in food and dining options compared to ocean cruisesExpect set dining times and fewer restaurant choices; consider if room service is available on your chosen line
Feeling young if you are 40 or younger on a river cruiseBe aware that the passenger demographic tends to be older, but it can be an advantage for making connections
