Creator's Key Takeaways

We've not done any of these ships before, so we're a little bit clueless as to which one we should pick.

Don't get me started on gratuities and the Americanization of these cruise lines because I'll be here all day.

TUI do really well priced river cruises. When you compare it to to some other of the river cruise companies, it's half the price.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't just check on the first price, the one that's on the outside of the website because there might be cheaper options when you click in.
Consider the cost of getting to the departure airport, as regional flights might be more expensive than the cruise savings.
