Having undertaken several see going cruises in the past, my wife and I were keen to experience a river cruise. The only time we had previously been on a river cruise was more than thirty years go...

Having enjoyed a number of ocean cruises we decided to try a river cruise and have discovered that the two have very little in common. We chose an 8 day Paris to Normandy Beaches cruise on Avalon...
