Cruises

River cruising: destination first, ship second.

River cruises are itinerary-heavy and often include guided touring, but route, waterway, cabin category and pace still vary significantly.

Route

Danube, Rhine and other rivers have different city mixes and trip rhythms.

Cabin category

Window, French balcony and true balcony categories can feel very different.

Pre and post stays

Extra nights can make a river cruise feel much less rushed at the beginning or end.

I can check fares, group space, cabin choices and package value for the cruise you are considering.
