The river cruise industry is growing by leaps and bounds with 19-new ships sailing the rivers of Europe this year alone. Viking alone has 64 ships. So what’s all the fuss about.
My wife and I have done 33 Ocean line cruises, but until this past month we’d never done a River Cruise. Since we’d never been on one and since we’re used to being on the larger ships (mostly Celebrity) we decided we would do a short river cruise to see if we’d like it.
Viking certainly spends the most money on marketing so they were the first line we looked at. But after speaking to some friends they advised us to look at Scenic which they said was a higher class ship than Viking, offering more amenities and they told us Scenic was all inclusive.
