River Cruises

The Most Unique Type of Cruising: River Cruises and How They Compare to Ocean Cruising

Within the past three years, I've sailed on nearly 20 cruises. This may sound like a lot of cruising, but I've gained invaluable insights into what makes a cruise memorable. 

Through these voyages, I’ve come to appreciate the subtle—but significant—differences between river and ocean cruising, especially when it comes to the intimate experience provided by river cruises. 

10 Things you should know about a River Cruise
