Creator's Key Takeaways

If I had to choose between ocean cruising and river cruising, it would be river cruising every single time because of the intimate experience.

An ocean cruise will take you to a country, a river cruise will take you through a country.

This is hands down my favorite excursion that we've done so far on this cruise.

The food is very good, too. Do not let the fact that it's a buffet confuse you. This is excellent food.
