Creator's Key Takeaways

we just returned from an 8 day s River Cruise on Viking radgrid and share all the details with you about our stateroom

overall the cabin was a a bit Cozier than we expected but we were glad to have a full balcony

the bathroom in our Viking Veranda State room was a little small even by cruise ship bathroom standards

since we're used to balcony State rooms on ocean cruise ships when we take our next River Cruise odds are will upgrade to a veranda State Room

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider your budget and whether the extra space and private balcony are worth the $1,000 to $1,500 per person upgrade cost.
For those used to ocean cruise balconies, upgrading to a veranda stateroom on a river cruise is often worth it.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Limited stateroom categories on river cruisesRiver cruise ships have fewer stateroom options compared to ocean ships, so choose based on your preferences and budget.
Balcony view may be blocked when dockedRiver cruises often tie up next to other ships in port, so you might not always have a view from your balcony.
