The cruise lines vary and while each company claims they are the best, I can point out differences between Ama Waterways, Avalon, Crystal, Emerald, Scenic, Uniworld and Viking that will help you choose the best one to suit your tastes and budget.

I’ll answer questions like which ones offer bike excursions on electric bikes, which ones include alcohol at all times not just lunch or dinner, which cabin should I choose, what should I pack? The cruise your friend recommended may not be the right one for you!

Would you trust spending a large sum of money online or through a call centre agent who represents only one cruise line or would you prefer to work with an expert who has actually sailed with some of the lines, toured the ships, and has completed extensive training through their training programs?

I’ve sailed in Europe on the Rhine, Main and Moselle rivers and can draw from the experience of colleagues who’ve sailed on other rivers in Europe, Asia, and Africa to ensure you’re making an informed decision when choosing the best cruise for your vacation.
