Creator's Key Takeaways
I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't the youngest person by far on that cruise.
The river cruises, they're smaller, more intimate, and you're able to really focus in on the things that the larger cruises just can't give you that individualized service.
You're able to to taste, pun intended, a lot of different places all in one trip and then figure out what suits you.
It's all about that personalization. You can literally choose your own adventure.
