Creator's Key Takeaways

I think I'm going to take my driving license so that I can just keep that in my bag um and that's my form of ID

make sure that you've got adequate travel insurance that covers you for all eventualities on your particular holiday

a river cruise is slightly different I think to um an ocean cruise it's not as dressy in an evening

there's no such thing as bad weather it's just bad clothing so we're going to dress for the weather

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a credit card with good exchange rates to avoid high conversion fees.
✓Check the ship's socket types (e.g., European) and bring appropriate adapters and extension leads.
✓Pack clothes that can be mixed and matched between day and evening to save space.
✓Bring comfortable walking shoes and a reliable umbrella.
✓Split clothing between two different suitcases in case luggage goes missing.
