I’d tried an ocean cruise before but while I could see the benefits, it just wasn’t for me. My friend said I should try a river cruise, but I didn’t know what she meant – I thought river cruises lasted a couple of hours! But luckily I called RiverVoyages.com and my Cruise Concierge couldn’t have been better, she was so helpful and took care of everything, found me my perfect ship and honestly, it was the best holiday I’ve ever had.
