Having just returned from a river cruise, it reminded me of just how enjoyable relaxing on gently rippling water could be, especially when combined with the history and culture of a European country, which has preserved its heritage. In addition, shore excursions are designed to highlight the language, people, customs and industry built over centuries of heritage.
These small ship excursions have captured an increasingly larger segment of the cruising population because virtually everything, with few exceptions, is included, from shore experiences to gourmet dining, local wines, beer and soft drinks. The ship’s crew are always most congenial and engaging without sacrificing quality service. They genuinely appear to enjoy their interaction with passengers. The fact that no more than 100-150 passengers can be accommodated encourages greater interpersonal exchange promoting lasting friendships. Just sit back and let the pleasure surround your senses.
