In Part 2 of this two-parter on river cruising, we expand your knowledge about what it's like to river cruise.
Whether it's your first, fifth, or tenth river cruise, you'll enjoy listening to our conversation as we reminisce about river cruise trips and planning - from why it's essential to get travel insurance (like that time we missed our first evening in Lyon) to why it's important to arrive in your port of embarkation city a day early. You'll relate to and learn from our experiences.
Find out what river cruise lines are kid-friendly, about the 90-year-old woman who cruised with her 16-year-old grandson, what the big idea is about navigating river locks, and what happens when you need a visa for your river cruise destination.
