Creator's Key Takeaways

We recently came back from our very first river cruise. And I have to be honest with you before going on this river cruise.

Now, by the way, Emma Waterways invited us on this cruise. However, all opinions are my own.

This was really one of the best travel experiences and cruises that we have ever done.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Fly into Munich 2 days before your cruise to acclimate and explore.
βœ“Use the quiet box device on excursions to hear the local guide clearly.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Would the river cruise be too boring or slow-paced? β€” The focus is on daily destinations, and there are plenty of activities and excursions to keep you engaged.
Would we be some of the younger people on the river cruise? β€” The age group is diverse, from late 40s to 70s and beyond, and it's not a party cruise but suitable for any age.
