Looking for a more intimate and cultural sailing experience? Then, a river cruise may be just what you need 

You Enjoy the Little Things

Not a fan of big crowds? A river cruise would agree with you. In fact, one of the best things about a river cruise is the personalized attention you get because of the smaller number of passengers aboard. Picture the boarding process running more smoothly because of the shorter lines and fewer crowds. Expecting a long wait for dinner? Not likely. The wait staff works diligently to ensure their guests receive the best service possible –so you can stand out from the crowd, not get sucked into it.

Other Cultures Intrigue You

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in something new, look no further than a river cruise. Unlike an ocean cruise, a river cruise sails along some of the most beautiful destinations in Europe –making it a great option for those looking for a guided and cultural vacation experience. Have an appreciation for art and history? Then you’ll be mesmerized by your surroundings, which boast some of the most gorgeous landscapes and architecture in the world. And foodies take note: you’ll be convinced once you hear that all the meals aboard are locally sourced from each region you visit –something rarely found on ocean cruises. 

You Like Package Deals

Another great thing about a river cruise is that your itinerary is made for you ahead of time, so you know exactly what to expect on your trip. The numerous inclusions are a huge draw for most, which comes as no surprise why river-cruisers, remain river-cruisers. For example, there are no hidden fees to be paid at the end of your journey. On a river cruise, you’ll have everything laid out for you ahead of time, so you can budget accordingly and not have to worry about finances once you take off. In fact, most new river-cruisers are pleasantly surprised to hear that beer, wine, ­­­and tours are included…something an ocean cruise can’t beat.
