Ocean cruisers are trying their first river cruises these days — and with good reason.
River cruising is the fastest-growing sector of the cruise industry!
Even though river cruises have been operating for decades, they have come on in leaps and bounds in the past decade. Modern ships with expanded amenities offer intriguing itineraries to places oceangoing vessels can’t reach, tempting fans of seagoing vessels to jump ship.
So what’s the difference between a river cruise vs. ocean cruise?
Plenty!
In some ways, river cruising is more similar to a land tour than today’s ocean cruising experience — and experienced tour companies run many river lines. You’ll find there are better benefits, though, such as only having to pack and unpack once. Mega-ship staples like pools, multiple lounges, specialty restaurants, spas and endless activities are available on some riverboats, although on a very, very much smaller scale. And you won’t find any sea days, although there are periods of scenic cruising.
Best of all, most river cruises include shore tours — and many other inclusions in their fares — making it easier to budget.
