Just wanted to say thank you. We just came back from our first river cruise, the Danube on Viking. It was a great experience. It would not have been possible without following your advice.

There is more useful information on your site than in any of the three books that I purchased on river cruise ships.

Thanks to this wonderfully informative site I went from zero knowledge of river cruising, to comparing six cruise companies using your criteria to really suss out all the costs—and found out just why people rave about river cruising.

Just got back home after a Riverside Luxury Cruise ... e took your advice and signed up for a short trip to see how we would like it. Well as it turns out, we loved it, and we wish we had signed up for a longer cruise! But no worries - we're already planning our next vacation. You've made river cruisers out of us - and we couldn't be happier!

I truly appreciate your unbiased advice. It’s difficult to find these days.

We recently completed AMA’s Rhine/Moselle cruise and really enjoyed it. As you wrote, the Moselle was especially pretty- natural scenery and lovely little towns en route. AMA’s crew was the best and the cruise director, Florentin, really knowledgeable and helpful, with good advice in choosing excursions that fit physical limitations. We heard that AMA ships bested Viking with lower passenger load (bigger staterooms) and more choice of excursions without extra fees.
