methodology<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n* Nights &#8211; A 7-night river cruise spans 8 days, but one of those days is the disembarkation day. For that reason, the &#8220;per diems&#8221; are calculated based on the number of &#8220;nights&#8221; on board. The result is a fairer assessment than calculating the cost per &#8220;day.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n*\u00a0Per Diem &#8211; The rate divided by the number of nights on board, indicated per person but based on double occupancy. Solo travelers will, in most cases, pay single supplements. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n*\u00a0Gratuities (on ship) &#8211; Some companies include gratuities for crew, others leave it to their guests to take care of gratuities. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n*\u00a0Gratuities (on shore) &#8211; Just as with crew gratuities, some companies take care of on-shore gratuities for guides and drivers; other companies leave it to their guests. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n*\u00a0Beverages &#8211; Nearly all river cruise companies offer complimentary soft drinks, speciality coffees, beer and wine during lunch and dinner. In between mealtimes, though, you&#8217;ll pay for most beverages when traveling with Emerald, Riviera and Viking. Beverages are included on CroisiEurope, Crystal, Scenic, Tauck and Uniworld. AmaWaterways and Avalon both have onboard Happy Hours, which include complimentary cocktails before dinner. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n* Optional Shore Excursions &#8211; All river cruise companies include complimentary excursions in most, if not all, ports of call. However, some companies offer optional shore excursions for a fee. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n* Current Incentive (per person) &#8211; Incentives range from early-booking savings to two-for-ones and reduced or free air. The incentives are always changing so be sure to check with your travel seller or the cruise company about current offers.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n* Value of Incentive (per day\/pp) &#8211; We&#8217;ve divided the amount of the incentive by the number of nights to arrive at a per-diem value. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n* Balcony Upgrade &#8211; Nearly all of the entry-level staterooms feature fixed windows.
