Creator's Key Takeaways

The most obvious difference is size.

River cruisers tend to be more walking based tours focused on arts, history, culture.

River cruise lines fairs tend to be all-inclusive.

If you're worried about seasickness, a river cruise is a great idea because it's pretty much, if not, totally impossible to get seasick.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Understand what the fare includes and what extras will cost on ocean cruises.
βœ“Choose a river cruise if you want a more all-inclusive experience with less seasickness risk.
βœ“Check the dress code for your specific cruise line to pack appropriately.
