Considering a river cruise? Here are 6 things I got wrong about river cruising. Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend a river cruise conference hosted by CLIA in Paris. We had the opportunity to visit six river ships and I was able to spend the night on board the Avalon Tapestry 2. Before this weekend I had never set foot on board a river cruise ship. I admit it, I was wrong about river cruising! The growth of the river cruising sector is really exciting, passenger numbers were up 21% last year on the year before. I can’t think of any other industry that is growing so fast, it’s very exciting. Other things that surprised me about river cruise ships: River cruise ships sometimes dock next to each other. This had never crossed my mind before! River cruise ships sometimes dock side by side and link together. If this happens you’ll have to walk over or through another ship to get to yours. Sometimes you’ll even have 3 or possibly 4 ships side by side!
