River Cruises: Description  

Since river cruise ships tend to be smaller than the ocean cruisers, the travelling experience in river cruisers can be intimate and travelling in some of these cruisers can be really fun.

There is no mad rush to get back to the hotel, as the hotel is always a walk away on the river bank. Also, you have to unpack only once, since you don’t need to change your hotel room always when you are in a different city or a town, the ship is always nearby.

However, the traveller must keep in mind that river cruises are a rather subdued affair as compared to life in an ocean liner where you can dine in different restaurants every night or spend the whole night in a casino. In contrast, since the river cruisers are smaller, the experience on board one is far more intimate and relaxed. Also, unlike an ocean cruise, land is always in sight in a river cruise and the traveller isn’t at a risk of getting motion sickness.

The biggest advantage while on a river cruise is that the traveller doesn’t need to plan each and every step of the travel, since once you book a river cruise, everything is taken care of and the traveller just has to follow the schedule of the river cruiser. Also, since the size of the river cruiser is much smaller, the traveller gets to know each and every one in their group as the number of people travelling together is far lesser.

This leads to a first-hand experience to know different travellers from different walks of life and there is an advantage of getting personalised service from the crew of the river cruiser. Due to all these advantages and the lure of an intimate and a laid back holiday, many travellers are getting attracted to river cruises and such cruises are getting more and more popular.
