Creator's Key Takeaways

I think this is this is my 12th river cruise. So I've had a fairly good sense of what to expect.

What Avalon have introduced is they always had a more casual lunch option but now they've introduced a casual dining option.

I probably preferred the panorama. The Armor room does feel a bit more luxurious though.

Avalon and Amma are the two that I would tend to gravitate. You know, Viking is fine. It's very reliable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Write the word 'question' before your question in the live chat so the host can spot it.

✓For Antarctica, go out on every possible excursion and be ready to get out on deck quickly if wildlife is spotted.

✓Track cruise fares using a fare tracking service to potentially save money or get upgrades.

Solo travelers may feel isolated on river cruises — Be outgoing and chat with others, as most passengers are in couples or groups. Look for lines with solo deals or solo cabins.
