Creator's Key Takeaways

the food was absolutely some of the best food I've ever had on a cruise ship

it's a very unique experience and from what I'm told, the prices are fairly good for a river cruise

you'll probably never get another chance to cruise a Law River either, unless you do it with a crossing

the crews basically went to St. the air and then back and then we stayed there and then uh we took buses to our other destinations

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be prepared for potential water level issues that may require bus transfers to destinations
βœ“Consider using a taxi instead of ride share for easier luggage handling to the ship ramp

YouTube Video Description↓

This is an overview of the CroisiEurope cruise on the Loire River. This ship is a paddlewheel ship called the Loire Princess. The river was low so we were unable to do much cruising, but our stay on the ship was wonderful.
