Creator's Key Takeaways

personally, I've I've been on over 90 cruises, and 19 of those have been on river cruises

river cruising is a great, great way to travel

I loved my river cruise on the Nile in Egypt

it was absolutely fabulous. What we did on land was wonderful. But what we did on the boat for four nights

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly over to Europe and do a few river cruises at once to save on airfare and spend more time in vacation mode
Consider the lower Danube later down the road as it's not as scenic as other European rivers
For Egypt, get on the Nile River to see Luxor, Valley of the Kings, and other historic sites beyond just Cairo
For Africa, consider adding a four-night river cruise on the Chobi River to complement a land safari
