Is River Cruising The Best Way To Explore Europe? An increasingly popular way to travel around Europe is by river cruising, but why has this way of travel become so attractive? See some reasons why below:
1. Multi-City Vacation: Most river cruise itineraries make upwards at 6, 7, 8 , 9+ stops depending on the length of cruise and specific itinerary. This is a great way to see and explore multiple destinations and make great use of your time abroad.
2. Convenience & Comfort: Say goodbye to the hassle of checking in and out of hotels! If wanting to visit multiple cities or destinations in Europe, a good chunk of your time could be spent packing up to check in and out of new hotels. When cruising, you can relax in the same accommodation every single night.
3. Excursions & Tours: Cruise line companies offer many excursions or tours to choose from at each stop you make. Viking Cruise Lines offers one included excursion at every port of call on their itineraries! This allows travelers to experience a destination more in depth by foot along the way.
4. Small Ships: River cruise ships are much smaller than your typical ocean cruise ship that you may typically think of. The smaller ships not only mean less crowds and more intimacy but also allows for more unique itineraries as the ships have the ability to dock at many ports.
5. Scenic Views: Lastly, a very distinctive part of traveling in Europe by boat is the scenic views you would otherwise miss out on traveling solely by land. River cruise ships often only offer cabins with verandah style accommodations where you will have your own private deck to sit on and see the beautiful coastal views from your own comfortable cabin.
With these five reasons, what do you think? Is river cruising the best way to see Europe? February is a great month to plan your Spring, Summer or Fall 2024 river cruise. Contact us at [email protected] or 651-380-0147 or [email protected] or 651-380-6596.
