River boat cabins.....size matters

When deciding on the cruise you want to take, of course you're probably focused on where you're going.  Instead, we suggest looking at how new the boat is.  Why?  Because the newer (2013 - 2014) boats offer so much more for the money.

Remember, you're traveling to see new things, experience different cultures and try different foods.  Why not enjoy getting there?


On the new boats, they cannot have as many cabins on each level, because the cabin size is so much larger.  What does that mean for the consumer....comfort!  Not only will you have a bed, bathroom and TV, in the newer cabins you will get a desk, small sofa and space between the bed and windows facing the gorgeous view of the countryside.  It doesn't hurt to be able to walk from one side to another without your companion having to sit on the bed to let you pass.  Twenty eight square feet makes a BIG difference when you're in this cabin for 2 - 3 weeks.



You can see the desk on the left of the photo.

Make sure you verify that your boat offers a club lounge.   It's a GREAT place to get free WI-FI access, juice, coffee and tea when ever you want to get away.  The lounge is surrounded by glass so you will enjoy the view while relaxing.
