Creator's Key Takeaways

this is my River cruising 101 series and this is part two in the series where we're going to explore the rivers of Europe and help you decide which river you should choose to sail on

the first river is the Dano River and more specifically I'm talking about the upper Dano River River because there is both an upper danoob and a lower danoob section

the Ry River and I absolutely love this sailing it flows between Amsterdam in the Netherlands and basil in Switzerland and is going to pass through Germany and France along the way

sailing on the Ry river is also great during pretty much every season spring summer fall and early winter

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider the upper Danube for a first river cruise with scenic sailing through the Wachau Valley.
βœ“Choose the Rhine River for its castles, storybook towns, and easy pre/post-cruise land extensions.
βœ“Consider the Douro River in Portugal for a popular itinerary with vineyards and cultural towns.
