Ready to get into the interesting bits about this newer way to travel - River Cruising?
For those wanting a smaller more intimate experience River Cruising is an excellent option but River Cruising planning can feel very confusing! Which brand, what are the actual inclusions, what's it like, and where's the best value?
Join me for an evening where we'll start to build a comparison of the top river cruise lines and dive a bit deeper into the similarities and differences. We'll talk about everything from pricing, onboard inclusions, excursions, style of brand, pre and post offerings, and top river itineraries.
Bring your questions and stories - let's get it all straightened out so you can book with confidence.
As a travel advisor I work with of the cruise lines and success is really about matching what each client needs and expects.
Here are the lines we'll talk about. Take a look and see which ones inspire you to get on the rivers. Many cruise lines are currently having sales and offers. If one of the offers jumps out at you, let's connect and talk about getting you onboard.
