Ocean V River

Greetings cruisers

I hope you all had a great Christmas and Santa bought everything on your list, and you all had an amazing new year. Very quiet for me this year, just the way I like it! No hangovers at all and no family fall outs !!!!

So it is already very very busy and many of you are looking for some winter sunshine or already thinking about getting away for Christmas 2019, had enough of all that cooking and washing up!

Anyways it seems to be the year for river cruises and I have already booked quite a few for 2019. It seems to be the up and coming way to see Europe, and I certainly agree, how many big ocean liners can park up and be right in the middle of the action at so many major city’s.

With this in mind and to help you understand the differences between ocean cruising and river cruising, take a look below, this should answer most of your questions, it really is the way to cruise.

It’s the question cruisers have been asking for years; Ocean or River? It’s not the easiest question to answer! Would you prefer a large cruise liner with restaurants, casinos and sports centres or a quieter river cruise with luxury and personalisation at the top of your priorities?

  • Cruise liners have so much more to offer!
  • River cruises can take you through the heart of a city…
  • Cruise liners can take you all over the world!
  • River cruises can make you feel like royalty.
