Creator's Key Takeaways

river cruising is the ultimate way to travel it's different than a ocean cruise

the danube was my first river cruise okay so my heart kind of stays with the danube

the rhine is another uh part of it if you can do them together which you'd have to have two weeks the ride and seeing the castles on each side of you
