Creator's Key Takeaways

the food was absolutely some of the best food I've ever had on a cruise ship

it's a very unique experience and from what I'm told, the prices are fairly good for a river cruise

you'll probably never get another chance to cruise a Law River either, unless you do it with a crossing

the crews basically went to St. the air and then back and then we stayed there and then uh we took buses to our other destinations

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for potential water level issues that may require bus transfers to destinations
Consider using a taxi instead of ride share for easier luggage handling to the ship ramp

YouTube Video Description

This is an overview of the CroisiEurope cruise on the Loire River. This ship is a paddlewheel ship called the Loire Princess. The river was low so we were unable to do much cruising, but our stay on the ship was wonderful.
