YouTube Video Description

I’ve just disembarked a European river cruise on an ultra-luxurious cruise line which is the most expensive trip I’ve ever booked. The average price of a cruise like this, in the cheapest room, is around £500 ($650) per person per night. I’m not sure what I was expecting from this cruise but it certainly wasn’t this, we had a very eventful trip and I did things I will never forget. The cabin video is now live, woohooo! You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/q9O-8xzlJ9I 🥳🥳🥳 In the past I’ve taken river cruises with budget cruise lines and always had a great time. I do like to travel as cheaply as possible but when I saw a sale for a very specific itinerary in July I thought this was my chance to get onboard. The cruise would normally cost double what I paid and it’s very rare to find a deal like that so I wanted to find out if it could really be worth that price tag. The cruise I booked was a roundtrip from Venice and it’s safe to say I was more than a little nervous about travelling to this part of the world in the middle of summer. I was expecting it to be very hot and very busy without any air conditioning but I hoped that I would still be able to make the most out of the included excursions. I didn’t know if i’d fit in on a cruise like this, I wasn’t sure what to wear or what to expect day to day but I was really excited to find out. Our cruise included flights from London and transfers to the cruise port. We were met at the airport by the Uniworld representative and taken to our ship the SS La Venezia. I knew that this ship had had a little bit of a troubled past so was looking forward to seeing how she had been refit, she was completely redesigned and had her name changed in 2020. ▶ FREE COURSE.
