This week, I thought I’d share some ideas about river cruising. Having just returned from another Tauck river cruise, this time a Tauck Bridges cruise with my family, I can tell you that river cruising really offers something for everyone. It really is a fantastic way to travel.
Want a little temptation? Watch this little snippet I recorded just as we were sailing away from Vilshofen, Germany last month onboard Tauck’s MS Esprit.

As you can see, there are no waves, and you can always see land – so there is no motion sickness to fear onboard a river cruise. There is quiet and tranquility – you can see and hear people and landscapes and cars as you sail by. It is peaceful, and you experience Europe from a moving hotel room. What better way to immerse yourself in a travel experience?
