Back to EpisodesRiver Cruise 101: Part 2 - Which River Cruise Line Is Right for You?
Description
You search for a European river cruise and suddenly you are comparing Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon, Scenic, Emerald, Uniworld, Tauck, Riviera and more.
They may visit many of the same cities, but that does not mean the onboard experience is the same.
In Part 2 of River Cruise 101, Stephanie and Ryan explain how river cruise brands differ in price, drinks, excursions, gratuities, dining, service, cabin design, ship style and activity level.
They also talk through several major brands and the traveler each one may fit best.
Viking offers a very consistent adults-only product with a strong focus on destination, history and culture.
AmaWaterways adds more active options, wellness, food and wine, with a comfortable onboard feel.
Emerald brings a modern style and some fun ship features.
Scenic moves into a more inclusive high-end experience, while Uniworld offers a very different visual style at a similar level.
Tauck stands out for history, culture, special access and family departures, while Riviera can be a strong option for solo travelers.
The point is not to crown one winner.
The right river cruise line depends on you — and it may even change from one vacation to the next depending on who is traveling with you.🍕 Crusty Review: Jack’s frozen pizza gets judged on a frozen-pizza scale.
