I LOVE Backroads. What\u2019s to love? The company layers its active adventures, primarily cycling, on top of cruises, both ocean and river. That layering provides the perfect adventure: You spend your days being active, exploring Europe the way many Europeans do, straddling a saddle. Your floating hotel is your oasis for rest and replenishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2016, I had what turned out to be one of the best trips I\u2019ve had on the rivers, cycling with my son while cruising on AmaWaterways. Check out Backroads Bike Trips & River Boating: A Winning Combination For Active Travelers<\/a>. Rinse and repeat. In 2019, we cruised Ponant and pedaled Croatia, a wonderful trip that I summed up in Bicycling Croatia with Backroads & Ponant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it\u2019s your turn. In 2022 and 2023, Backroads will offer a handful of active river cruises. At least two of these will be full-ship adventures, meaning that everyone on the cruise will be a Backroads enthusiast. No need to feel intimidated if you\u2019re not a cycling diehard. Backroads does an excellent job at catering to riders of all skill levels. What will happen, however, is that you too will fall in love with Backroads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
