2017 saw a year of record growth in river cruising according to CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) in their UK River Cruise review with passenger numbers from the UK up 21% year on year to over 210,000. It’s really encouraging to see this growth as river cruising seems to suffer with an unfair misconception of being expensive.
Let’s break it down and see why river cruising represents excellent value for money
Once you add up the extra costs you may expect to pay for all of the above on an ocean cruise, you will realise that river cruising isn’t expensive at all.
In summary, river cruises offer a luxurious and intimate opportunity to discover some of the most beautiful cities and towns in the world from the Rhine & Danube to the Mississippi & the Mekong. I’ve been lucky enough to travel on or visit several river cruise ships (Avalon, Amadeus, A’ROSA, CroisiEurope, Tauck, Uniworld) and consider myself somewhat of a river cruise expert. I would be delighted to recommend a destination or river cruise operator for you.
