A cruise on the Douro in Portugal offers great wine and Porto tastings.Of course, these rivers take you to many other countries in Western and Eastern Europe as well.
It is best to book your river cruise with a travel agent who is familiar with river cruises. Each cruise line offers different amenities and many claim to be all-inclusive, but the term "all inclusive" varies by company.
Another thing to be aware of is the size of the cabin. For a basic cabin, the size varies by ship from 135 square feet to 176 square feet. And, some ships carry as many as 190 passengers, while others have a maximum of 130. Keep in mind that all Europe river cruise ships are the same size, dictated by the size of the locks and clearance under bridges.
River Cruise specialists have inspected or traveled on several different river cruise ships and itineraries, so they can help you decide on the best cruise for your needs.
