Creator's Key Takeaways

The river longboats are different from the much larger ocean ships. This tour will make some of those differences evident.

The embarkation process was seamless. We walked into the longboat, and we told them our names, they scanned our passports, and we were good to go.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Organize yourself and do the dance with each other in the narrow areas of the cabin.
