Our 16 Best River Cruise Experiences By Hank Schrader, USMA 71 Europe Destination and River Cruise Expert
Overview After 10 rivers cruises since 2009, Anne and I find it very hard to find any trip experience that matches a river cruise. Wonderful food and wine, unmatched chances to explore Europe in a floating hotel, attended by a staff that enhance your trip are all part of this vacation We just could not find one experience that summed it all up, so we decided to provide you 16 experiences that have made memories for us that will last a lifetime. We hope this will inspire you to take a river cruise and use us to help you make these kind of memories!
