I'd missed them. Right now, Europe is the hottest destination for river cruisers. River vessels vary slightly. Conversely, boats that ply the Rhone will never get too fancy because the river's low bridges and narrow canals limit their size. Liquor, shore excursions, beauty shop treatments and gift shop purchases are also extra.
Cruises are cheaper because weather can be rainy and cool.
Cabins, which range from 125 square feet to 200 square feet, are generally smaller than those on a mainstream vessel. River cruising is not limited to Europe. River cruising has also taken hold in the United States. Its three modern vessels, each of which holds 146 passengers, recall the stern-wheelers that operated in Northwest more than 150 years ago. Its boats are among the largest, with passenger capacity ranging from 174 on the Delta Queen to 436 on the American Queen.
