What’s Included on a River Cruise (And What’s Not)
Have you ever ended an ocean cruise with a bill that made your jaw drop?
You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not the only one who’s felt nickeled and dimed by the time you disembark.
In this episode of Europe Unveiled, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s actually included on a European river cruise — and just as importantly, what’s not. Whether you’re a first-time river cruiser or just trying to figure out what all the hype is about, this episode will give you the real-deal breakdown.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- What’s typically included in your river cruise fare
- What most lines don’t include (and how to budget smart)
- The real-world value of inclusions like Wi-Fi, drinks, and excursions
- A cruise line comparison: AmaWaterways, Viking, Avalon, Scenic, Riverside, and Emerald
- Insider tips to help you cruise confidently and avoid surprises
We’ll also compare the average cost of add-ons on a 7-night ocean cruise — like Wi-Fi, drink packages, and excursions — so you can see why river cruising can actually be the better value, even if the upfront cost looks higher.
- If you’ve been thinking, "Are river cruises worth it?" — this one’s for you.
