I love European River Cruising as it is a unique way to soak up the landscape while surrounded by luxury. And who doesn’t love a little luxury.

When I am river cruising, I make the most of everything like the complimentary room service, and treat myself to Breakfast in bed, or on the balcony.

Or when on shore I pick up some local wine, cheeses and other delicacies and enjoy a sunset cocktail hour in the comfort of my stateroom or balcony again.

Some days I also chose to use the bicycles provided by some river cruise lines, to explore port of call whilst getting a little exercise to counteract all those delicious meals, but it’s a good idea to get in early as the bicycles tend to be very popular.

Or, I get lost, just a little. The shore excursions take you to some amazing places, and give you plenty of time to have a truly local experience, however sometimes I like to explore the town or village on my own. If you’re going to do the same, be sure to take with you a ship card from reception on board, just in case you need to take a taxi or you need assistance getting back to the ship.

And my favourite red to myself for a busy day exploring, is to indulge in a little pampering and rejuvenation with an on board relaxing massage and spa treatment…or two!!
