Is River Cruising for older people? Not at all!!

Most people used to think that river cruising was for older people because they thought there was nothing much to do other than walking tours.  Well let me tell you that times have sure changed!  I did an Active & Discovery river cruise on the Rhone river in France and it sure lived up to its name. On day 1 before we left for a bike tour, there was a yoga class going on ... We started out on our biking tour to a nature reserve but … [Read More...]

Which River Cruise is right for me ?

Are you confused by all the different cruise companies and itineraries?
1) Have you started to research your choices and find that now you’re just overwhelmed by all the information? Would you like to know which cruise is the perfect fit for you or why some companies are better on certain rivers than others ?

Each company claims they are the best but I can tell you the differences between Ama Waterways, Avalon, Emerald, Riviera, Riverside, Scenic, Tauck, Uniworld and Viking. Plus the newcomers entering the market soon – Trafalgar & Celebrity.

2) If you have questions like which ones offer more active excursions ? Which ones include the gratuities or alcohol?  Are the French Balcony type cabins worth the higher cost?  Which deck should I pick, what should I pack ? I can help answer all of those and get you booked on the right cruise (because one that your friend went on might not be the best choice for you)

3) Can you trust spending up to $10,000 or more online or with a call center agent or would you like to book with an expert who has actually been there ?

I’ve sailed on the Rhine (3 times), Main, Mosel, Danube (3 times), Rhone, Saone, Seine, Garonne (Bordeaux) Dutch/Belgian Waterways (2 times), Yangtze, Mekong, Amazon, St. Lawrence, Columbia/Snake rivers, the Chobe River in Africa and recently returned from a Nile River Cruise in Egypt.

To get your questions answered, email me at linda@therivercruiselady.com or call toll free 1-877-543-8182 as I’m now able to take on new clients after adding a team member.  Maureen also has a passion for river cruising too so either of us will be able to help provide you with choices for  your trip of a lifetime.
