River Cruising is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to experience Europe, and more recently Asia, Africa, and South America. Commonly stereotyped as a vacation for retirees, river cruises are for people of all ages. Sure, there are specific cruise lines that cater to the baby boomers, but when you work with Sunkissed Bliss Travel, we can point you in the right direction based on your preferences. There are even options for river cruising with children. Here are some benefits to river cruising:
1. Inclusions. Most river cruise lines include shore excursions in the fare, as well as beer and wine with a few exceptions. Some even offer free transfers to and from port on the first and last days of your cruise.
2. Access. River vessels can dock in the heart of the city with quick access to the city center, allowing you more time to experience what you came to do. Then the ship will travel to the next city overnight, timing your arrival for the next morning. It’s a highly efficient way to see more of the region and to see parts of it from a unique vantage point not available if you travel over land.
3. Unique perspectives. You will never be able to replicate on land the scenery, vantage points, and pastoral communities you will experience river cruising.
4. Small ships equal best friends. When you return to the ship each evening from your day exploring the city, you will recognize the familiar faces of the crew and fellow passengers. It’s a great perk to look forward to – having dinner with your new friends every night and sharing stories from the day.
