Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on a lot of ocean cruise ships but river cruise ships not really on my radar

I'm not sponsored by anybody nobody pays me to go on these trips I just go and do what I want to do

people don't have to spend this much money to go on a great River Cruise in Europe and I'm going to show you that

I'm not trying to convince anybody not to cruise with Amma or not to cruise with Viking if that is a product that appeals to you then go for it
