Creator's Key Takeaways

One is all about the view. One is particularly good for foodies, and one, well, it's a floating palace.

Avalon definitely focus a lot on the view from your stateaterooms.

AMA has really nice stateaterooms as well, but they really lean a lot into the premium food.

Uni World really goes for that that boutique hotel.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan in advance if you can to save money on river cruises.
Consider a French balcony as a good middle ground to save $1,000 to $2,000 per person.
Book early as it is always a key to getting better prices.
