After 20 Ocean Cruises, I Took My First River CruiseâHere Are 6 Ways It Was Better
I n 1995, when I was a freshman in college, my parents first introduced me to cruising. I absolutely loved waking up each morning on a new Caribbean island, and I thoroughly enjoyed the nonstop array of activities to keep me busy on our floating hotel. In my 30s, once I had a little disposable income, I was reintroduced to the world of cruise ships , and I fell in love with them all over again. Today, in my mid-40s, I write about cruising for a living and still completely adore itin fact, I recently completed my 20th ocean cruise.
But this year, I wanted to branch out. I had my sights set on scenic river cruising . It seemed so exclusive, so refined, so intimate, and everyone raves about their experiences. I had to know what I was missing. So my fianc and I booked a sailing for March 2024 called âParis and the Heart of Normandyâ on the Viking Radgrid , a round-trip river cruise from Paris that follows the iconic Seine river through Normandy villages, with stops that included Giverny (and the charming house and gardens where Claude Monet lived) and the legendary D-Day beaches along the Normandy coast.
The impetus for this particular itinerary? This year marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War II, and I have a personal connection to itmy maternal grandfather was a Purple Heartawarded army medic in the 101st Airborne, who was wounded while attending to injured soldiers during the Normandy invasion.
As an avid ocean cruiser , I was excited about the opportunity to see this historic area through a river cruise. And despite my research ahead of time, I was still a bit surprised by some of the key differences between cruising the high seas vs. the river Seine. Most of them were actually preferable to ocean cruisingbut one wasnât. Ahead, Iâve included everything you need to know about river cruises and the biggest differences youâll find compared to ocean liners.

Whatâs the difference between a river cruise and an ocean cruise?
Unlike ocean cruise ships, which travel the open seas, river cruises travel along inland waters. River cruises are typically much smaller, as the vessels need to navigate smaller waterways and ports, which means fewer cabins and passengers as well. Ocean cruises often carry thousands of passengers (compared to hundreds of passengers on river cruises), and because there can be days at sea, the amenities (gyms, water parks, casinos, dozens of restaurants, live entertainment, kids clubs, etc.) tend to be extravagant. The river cruise is often a means of travel, while the destinations are the stars of the show.
The pros of a river cruise
There are quite a few pros in my book! These are the ways I believe river cruises stand out, compared to ocean liners.
All-inclusive experiences
One of my biggest gripes about cruising is that I often feel nickled and dimed to death. Even with the best all-inclusive ocean cruises , the final bill at the end of the sailing is always higher than you think itâs going to bethe drinks, specialty restaurants, excursions and Wi-Fi access can really add up. With Viking, almost everything was included in my upfront river-cruise feeit was actually all-inclusive.
Every guest receives free Wi-Fi, which was a huge relief, since I was also working while I cruised. The connection was limited to two devices at any given time, but we didnât find this to be an issue. However, the Wi-Fi connection was a bit spotty at times, especially when we went through the locks.
Beer, wine and soft drinks were included during lunch and dinner. Liquor and higher-end wines cost extra, but there was a package you could purchase to help defray costs (called the Silver Spirits Beverage Package, which was $350 per cabin for a seven-day sailing trip). Other items included specialty coffees (the hot chocolate was to die for), teas and bottled water; port taxes and fees; and ground transfers with a Viking Air purchase. And all of these upfront savings really made a difference on the back-end of my trip. Honestly, while Viking will never be considered one of the cheapest cruise lines , once you factor in the extras they include on the front end (ones youâd have to buy separately with other cruise lines), your total vacation costs may be more similar than youâd think.
Included excursions
Each sailing included one complimentary shore excursion in every port of call, and they were fabulous. Viking really goes out of its way to find the best local guides and takes you to both off-the-beaten-path sights and well-known landmarks. For instance, included in the package was a fantastic walking tour of Rouen and its impressive Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, a walking tour of Chateau Gaillard in Les Andelys and a tour of Napoleonâs Chateau de Malmaison just west of Paris. The all-inclusive cruise also included a full-day tour of the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy (including Omaha Beach, a four-mile stretch where two-thirds of the seaborne troops from the U.S. landed on D-Day), as well as visits to both the Caen Memorial Museum and Normandy American Cemetery, where Viking held a touching memorial service for all passengers.
I ended up paying extra for two non-included tours I couldnât pass up (the Palace of Versailles and the Louvre Museum) and felt those prices were aligned with any other cruise line.
Ideal docking
The Viking longships were purpose-built to navigate the Seine river, which means they can dock at exclusive locations that are super convenient to the sights you want to see. For instance, this cruise began in Paris, and we were docked a mere 20-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. In fact, thatâs the first thing I did after boarding the Radgrid , which allowed me to check off my biggest bucket-list item immediately!
Compared to docking at massive ports in the Caribbean, docking along the Seine was intimatein towns along the way, we did so right in front of impressive castles, chateaus and cathedrals. Sometimes, weâd just hop off the boat and walk into town on our own, thankful that we didnât need to coordinate public transportation or walk for miles. This also came in handy if we wanted to enjoy a meal in town or do some shopping on our own time.
Compare that to many ocean cruises, where youâre often docked an hour or two away from a major cityas is the case with Rome and Bangkok, for example. That makes your already short time in port even tighter and can negatively impact your ability to see and do as much as youâd like.
Fewer passengers (and more intimate settings)
With only 168 guests in total, you will quickly become acquainted with them allthere are very few public spaces to hang out, and youâll see guests time and again in the restaurant and on your tours. If you consider yourself less social or are a couple looking for romantic cruise dinners, you might find this off-putting, as youâll rarely have the opportunity to dine alonein fact, all tables have eight or more seats (and you often find yourself repeating your life story to new passengers at every meal).
But we found it to be rather fun, getting to know a variety of people from around the world, each with interesting travel stories to share. Remembering all their names was the hardest part!
Bustling views
Because youâre on a river, thereâs always a great view from the sun deck or your balcony. Most of the cabins have a balcony, except for the 22 standard staterooms, which have a half-height picture window. Compare that to staring off into endless miles of (beautiful) open ocean on an ocean cruise. While I do love the feeling of being âout to seaâ and feeling small while bobbing on a seemingly never-ending body of water, thereâs a lot more action on a river.
At times, we were passing through large, bustling cities along the Seine, and other times, meandering marsh-like areas. We moved under countless bridges, past woods and fields, and through the Norman countryside. The views kept changing hourly, and I felt like I was part of the scene. Several times, we passed so close to other boats that I could have literally stretched my arm out and touched them.
Smooth sailing
Most people are surprised to learn that Iâm prone to seasickness, especially since I choose to take multiple cruises a year. While I clearly never let it deter me, I was incredibly pleased to note that thereâs no jarring movement on a riverboat whatsoever. In fact, there were multiple times I didnât even realize we had left the dock and were moving! Itâll be a huge relief not to have to add my seasickness wristband, Dramamine or prescription patch to my cruise packing list next time.
The con of a river cruise
Compared to an ocean cruise, there were, of course, some things I knew I wouldnât find on board, including a casino, gym, spa, laundry room, swimming pool, waterslides, theater productions, photographers taking cheesy pictures of me, and children (all passengers must be 18 and over), and that was fine by me. In fact, I greatly appreciated the simplicity of the ship. It isnât a destination or filled with amusement parklike amenities; itâs a means of transportation, and it serves its purpose well. But there was one thing in particular that I missed: food variety.
Lack of food options
One thing that got bit stale to me halfway through the cruise was not having any choice of restaurants or barsthere is only one of each on board. Youâll eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner in âThe Restaurantâ and get your drinks in âThe Lounge & Bar.â You could choose to sit in the Aquavit Terrace, an indoor-outdoor area at the front of the ship perfect for al fresco dining when the weather cooperates, but our weather was pretty cold and wet during my late-March sailing, so we didnât get to make much use of it. (Iâm guessing this is fantastic in the summer!) And itâs the same menu as the Restaurant, so youâre only getting a different view, not different food.
Iâm a total foodie, and I really crave a variety of cuisines and menus. I love the myriad choices you have on ocean ships, from culinary-focused cruises to the over-the-top 40 restaurant and bar venues on a mega ship like my cruise on the Icon of the Seas . Plus, I love hanging out in bars with different vibes depending on my mood.
While Viking did a nice job of providing well-rounded menus, incorporating some local French dishes and delivering tasty food, I yearned for a change of scenery and flavor profile. I look forward to my next Viking cruise, but Iâd make more of an effort to eat off the ship whenever possible to help break up the monotony of mealtimes.
Itâs all about the journey
I finally understand the magic of river cruising. Itâs a wonderfully peaceful way to travel, you learn your way around the small ship in an hour (vs. several days on the big ships), youâre encouraged to interact with other guests, you get access to more intimate experiences and lesser-visited places, and thereâs no surprise bill at the end, thanks to the all-inclusive model. Iâll still enjoy ocean cruises regularly, but I also look forward to exploring the Rhine, Danube and maybe even the Yangtze in the future.

Thanks for following our live coverage, we'll be back soon with more live updates.
Kosovo's foreign minister has said her country is convinced Russia must lose the war in Ukraine for conflict not to spread further in Europe.
Donika Gervalla-Schwarz said her young nation's support for Ukraine was unconditional - despite Kyiv not having recognised Kosovo's independence.
Ms Gervalla-Schwarzd her small Balkan nation, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, is repeatedly reminded of the aggressive intentions of both Serbia and its ally Russia.
"Ukraine hasn't recognised the Republic of Kosovo as a state, but we really believe that we know exactly what Ukraine is going through," she told The Associated Press in an interview.
"And we know that there is only one solution, not only for Ukraine, but for Europe," she said.
"It can only be Russia to lose the war and Ukraine to win this war. Otherwise, Europe should prepare for other conflicts in our continent."
The people of Kosovo were the targets of war crimes and other atrocities by Serbia's security forces in the 1990s, an experience that led Kosovo to seek independence.
"While Kosovo is a small state with very modest possibilities to help, we have tried to be very helpful with Ukraine and have not hesitated to show our unconditional support and sympathy to the people and to the state of Ukraine," Ms Gervalla-Schwarz said.
Lord Cameron has called the UK's measures on a Russian defence attache "an unequivocal message" to Moscow.
The foreign secretary was replying to James Cleverly's post on X in which he said the Home Office expelled a Russian defence attache as part of a series of measures against the country.
Other measures in the package include removing the diplomatic premises status from several Russian owned properties in the UK and capping the amount of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK.
Budapest is once again raising eyebrows across the world's biggest military alliance as it pledges to defy a NATO initiative.
The alliance's long-term plan to support Ukraine militarily was agreed in April, but was dubbed a "crazy mission" by Hungary's foreign minister today.
Under the plans, NATO would take over some coordination work from a US-led coalition known as the Ramstein group.
Discussing the plans today, Peter Szijjarto said: "Hungary will stay out of NATO's crazy mission despite all the pressure."
Relations between Budapest and NATO have soured because of Hungary's foot-dragging over the ratification of Sweden's NATO accession - finally passed by Budapest in March - and also over nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's close ties with Moscow.
The Russian embassy in London has said there will be "an appropriate response" after Britain expelled a Russian defence attache.
The embassy said the restrictions that had been imposed were done under a "groundless and ridiculous pretext", according to Russian state news agency TASS.
It comes after Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was reported as telling journalists that the Kremlin will respond appropriately following the expulsion.
Dominic Waghorn, international affairs editor
It's always assumed defence attaches play some kind of role gatherling intelligence and that is generally tolerated by their host countries.
They could be gathering data about weapons production for instance or ship building but there is a line they are expected not to cross.
The assumption here is that the Russians have broken the rules of the game.
But the British government will have thought long and hard before expelling the Russian. It doesn't come without cost.
In their day jobs defence attaches play a crucial role in liaising with their hosts. That can be very important in terms of avoiding misunderstandings that could lead to unnecessary and dangerous escalation.
Losing Russiaâs defence attache in London deprives the UK of one more line of liaison at a time when clear understanding and clarification could be essential to avoiding deepening conflict.
That is not ideal at a time of war.
What is not clear is how much these moves are connected specifically to the conduct of the Russians involved or should they actually be seen more as another chapter in the diplomatic war underway between Russia and the UK.
The UK has undoubtedly weakened Russia's ability to spy in the UK and gather intelligence but these measures will also affect Britain's ability to predict and avoid potential escalation.
That will be made even worse if Russia, as may be expected, responds with like-for-like retaliation
Seven people have been injured by Russian shelling in eastern Kharkiv, according to the region's governor.
Oleg Synegubov said among those wounded was an eight-year-old girl and three boys, two aged 14 and the other 15.
"Two [of the] boys are in serious condition, [the other] boy and [the] girl are in average condition," he said.
One 55-year-old civilian of unspecified gender was also hospitalised.
Two women had minor injuries.
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has offered his thoughts on the expulsion of a Russian defence attache the government has accused of being an undeclared military intelligence officer.
"Today we've expelled Russia's defence attache who has been working as an intelligence officer for Putin in the UK," he said on X.
"We will not tolerate Putinâs efforts to undermine our nation and democracy and will continue to stand up for freedom here and in Ukraine."
Each week we ask readers for their questions on the war for our military analysts and international correspondents.
This week, military analyst Sean Bell answers:
Why is Ukraine focusing its drone attacks on oil refineries rather than near the front lines? Mike
Thanks, Mike, for this topical question.
Although the ultimate metric of success in this brutal war is territory gained, to achieve that outcome requires a more complex strategy than simply focusing on the frontline battle.
One of the reasons that the Royal Air Force was formed as an independent service was the recognition that greater impact could often be achieved by targeting enemy logistics and supply lines behind the frontline, rather than simply focusing effort on the "close battle".
Military action is ultimately driven by political will to achieve a desired end-state; the military simply creates the conditions in which a political outcome can be achieved.
At the tactical level of warfare, the focus is on the battles of individual soldiers and units prevailing against tactical targets.
However, at the other end of the spectrum, senior military strategists seek to attack the enemy's "centre of gravity" - the one thing that the enemy cannot afford to lose and thus must protect at all costs.
'Fight smarter'
In the Second World War, much of the Allied bombing effort was targeting German industrial capacity, as without the ability to regenerate military equipment and ammunition, the war would not be sustainable.
Ukraine has a smaller army than Russia, and so any conventional attritional battle would favour Russia.
Therefore, Ukraine has to try to "fight smarter" and erode Russia's will - or capacity - to fight.
A war on this scale consumes huge quantities of resource, which has to be funded in some way.
Russia's oil exports fund Vladimir Putin's military campaign and also pay for imports of vital munitions from North Korea and Iran.
By targeting the enemy's oil facilities Ukraine will be aiming to reduce Russia's export capacity, which in turn impacts Russia's ability to fund the war.
That might not help the close battle, but could undermine Russia's commitment to a longer-duration conflict.
And, although drones are an "irritation" to the frontline forces, the quantity of explosives they are able to deliver is relatively small, so their effect is relatively limited.
However, an oil facility is very vulnerable to a relatively small-scale explosion, which can spread swiftly to destroy a crucial part of Russia's critical national infrastructure - more bang per buck.
So, although Ukraine desperately needs to stop Russia from breaking through its frontlines, we can expect to see Ukraine continue to target energy infrastructure as part of a broader strategy in its war with Russia.
We now have more details regarding the freshly expelled Russian defence attache we reported on in our 1.10pm post.
The attache accused by the Home Office of being an undeclared military intelligence officer spying for the Kremlin is Colonel Maxim Elovik.
