Have you been curious about river cruising but not sure if it’s really worth the cost… or if it’s just for retired travelers?

In this kickoff episode of our month-long river cruise series, Ryan shares what he learned after returning from the ASTA River Cruise Expo in Amsterdam, where he toured multiple river cruise brands, explored a brand-new ship debut, and compared what really matters when choosing the right sailing.

We’re talking about:

• what flying into Amsterdam for a river cruise is really like
• how Viking, AmaWaterways, Uniworld, Scenic and more actually compare
• what river cruise cabins look like and why layout matters
• who river cruising is perfect for (and who it may not be for)
• the biggest misconceptions first-time travelers have
• what’s included, what’s not, and why cruise line choice matters more than people think
• whether a river cruise is better than planning Europe on your own

If Europe is on your list and you want to see more without dragging luggage from hotel to hotel, this episode gives you the honest version of what to expect.
