Creator's Key Takeaways

we've done 33 ocean cruises and this is our first river cruise

river cruise ships are small they're far smaller than anything you get on the ocean

you won't get seasick on a river cruise because you just don't feel any movement

river cruising is all about the ports and culture and history and it was brilliant

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider passenger capacity and whether you're comfortable in smaller groups
βœ“Be aware of privacy issues when moored next to other ships
βœ“Research ship design and amenities to match your budget and preferences
βœ“Plan for limited dining times and no buffet or late-night food options
βœ“Take advantage of included excursions and explore ports on your own
