A river cruise vs a city break

24 hours in a city with meals, drinks and sightseeing can be expensive

Research suggests that a river cruise could be as much as 30% cheaper than a comparable city break

Most cruise lines will include flights ( or Eurostar) transfers, meals, drinks, boutique style accommodation in the heart of the city with sightseeing and opportunities for unique experiences ( eg private concerts, private viewings in galleries, guided hikes, wine tasting) with excellent service, knowledgeable cruise hosts

Use of walking poles, bikes, pools/spas

You visit more than 1 city at a time eg Vienna and Budapest so its a great way of ticking off your ‘book it list’

There are themed cruises for example:

Gardens

Active – cycling, running ,hiking

Food/ wine

Crafts/painting

Entertainment is generally low key.  Some operators bring a musician / local artists onboard

Some offer evening performances ashore eg a concert in Vienna

some have BBQs on deck in summer
