Are you new to river cruising and not sure which is the best cruise cabin to choose? The location of your river cruise cabin is much more important than you think. In this video we reveal the things you need to consider when choosing a river cruise cabin, the best cabin locations and why even though every river cruise cabin has a window or a balcony, it doesn’t always guarantee a view! There are four main types of river cruise cabins: Standard cabin Solo cabin Balcony cabin Suite The lowest grade cabins are usually found on the lowest deck of a river cruise ship but will still always have a window. There are no inside cabins on a river cruise so during the day you’ll always have some natural light in your cabin. Most river cruise ships don’t have balconies that you can sit out on like ocean cruises and are mostly Juliet balconies. BUT they still give you the option to open the sliding windows and get a fantastic view outside whilst sailing down the river. Another wonderful thing about having a balcony cabin on a river cruise is that you can wake up in the morning and watch the scenery go by from the comfort of your bed. A suite provides you with the most square footage, a balcony and usually comes with perks like a minibar. The factors you need to consider when choosing a cabin on a river ship are: The deck Where the cabin is situated on the deck Where the public areas are Our biggest piece of advice when choosing a cruise cabin on a river ship is to avoid cabins at the back of the ship. The cabins closest to and directly below the main lounge on a river cruise are likely to hear a bit of the entertainment during the evening. If you’re cabin is on the upper deck, you’ve got the best chance of a view - unless you’re double stacked! The reality is that however long you take trying to work out which side of the ship is best, you still can never 100% control the view you have from your cabin. To choose the best river cruise cabin, we recommend following these three simple rules: 1. Avoid cabins located towards the rear of the ship 2. Avoid cabins near or below the ship’s lounge 3. Choose the highest deck that fits your budget Recommended watching: AmaMagna Balcony Cabin: https://youtu.be/31tkGKUU2pE AmaMagna Suite: https://youtu.be/zpuOADtk5WU Tui River Cruise French Balcony Suite: https://youtu.be/dpWXLbmyDNI #AD #rivercruise #rivercruisecabins #rivercruises #rivieratravel #amawaterways #tuirivercruises
