With modernized ships and great itineraries, river cruising is fast becoming popular with younger travelers. Millenials are more interested in cruising Europe than other generations, and more likely than Generation Xers or Baby Boomers to take a river cruise in the next two years, so we\u2019ve compiled some reasons why travelers of any age should get onboard the river cruising bandwagon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making The Most Of Your Time<\/b><\/p>\n

With limited vacation time, you\u2019ve got to make the most of every day. Every hour spent on a bus or a train is one you won\u2019t spend discovering hidden alleyways, sipping on local wine, or hunting down the best souvenirs in classic markets or trendy boutiques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traveling by river cruise means you wake up in a new city every day with no time wasted, so you can see more cities than you might think on a relatively short break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unpack Once And Settle In<\/b><\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s not fun? Dragging your wheeled luggage over cobblestone streets, or up the stairs of that charming hotel that just happens to lack an elevator. What\u2019s even less fun is having to go through the whole process in city after city throughout your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a river cruise, you unpack once, settle into your room, and enjoy a wrinkle-free wardrobe for the duration of your vacation. It\u2019s easier to bring along that extra pair of cute shoes (or pick one up in one of your destinations) when you know you won\u2019t have to drag them through multiple cities in your bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arrive, In Style<\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s simply no better way to arrive in a European city than docking at the river cruise port and finding yourself just steps away from the main sights. It\u2019s like having a hotel in a prime location in every city you visit, complete with waterfront views. You can stroll right off the ship to begin your sightseeing without having to figure out the local transit system or where to get a cab.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expert-Led Itineraries<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got enough on your plate without trying to plan the perfect day in every city on your trip. Most river cruises include multiple trip options in each city you visit, so you can select from expert-curated experiences to fit your travel style \u2013 whether that\u2019s diving into the city or strolling through the countryside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many river cruise itineraries also feature exclusive experiences, from dining with university students for an insider look at local life in Germany to digging for truffles in Provence. These are experiences you simply couldn\u2019t book on your own, and they\u2019re often included in the price of your cruise.<\/span><\/p>\n

All-Inclusive Travel<\/b><\/p>\n

You work hard for your vacation dollars, and it\u2019s important to know what you\u2019re committing to before you leave. Most river cruises offer all-inclusive dining and beverages so you\u2019ll never find yourself scrimping on dinner because you blew your daily meal budget on a bottle of wine at lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the dining room, you\u2019ll also find that your cruise fare includes many excursions, along with equipment to take ashore, like bicycles and hiking poles.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter your age, there\u2019s a river cruise that will wow you. A travel agent can help connect you to the cruise line that\u2019s the best fit for your budget, goals, and travel style.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
