FAQs about River Cruises

Ask the expert

Can I get seasick on a river cruise?

While it is less common to get seasick on a river cruise compared to an ocean cruise, it is still possible for some individuals to experience motion sickness on a river. Factors such as rough waters, windy conditions, or fast currents can contribute to feelings of nausea or dizziness. It is always a good idea to be prepared by bringing motion sickness medication or remedies just in case. Additionally, choosing a larger, more stable river cruise ship may help reduce the likelihood of feeling seasick.

Are river cruises formal or casual?

River cruises can vary in terms of formality, with some being more formal while others are more casual. Generally, river cruises tend to be more on the casual side compared to ocean cruises. Passengers can usually expect a relaxed atmosphere where they can dress comfortably during the day and perhaps slightly more formal attire for evening dinners. However, it’s always best to check with the specific cruise line or do some research beforehand to get a better idea of the dress code and atmosphere onboard.

Are there a lot of children on river cruises?
River cruises typically cater more towards adults looking for a relaxing and scenic vacation experience. While there may be some families with children on river cruises, the majority of passengers tend to be adults. River cruises often offer a more serene and sophisticated atmosphere compared to traditional ocean cruises, making them more popular among adults looking for a peaceful and leisurely travel experience.
Are any river cruise lines adults only?

While many river cruise lines cater to families and couples of all ages, there are a few river cruise lines that are specifically designed for adults only. These cruises often offer a more relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere, with activities and amenities geared towards adult travelers. Some popular adult-only river cruise lines include Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s U by Uniworld, Viking River Cruises’ Viking Longships, and AmaWaterways’ AmaMagna. These cruises provide a peaceful and elegant experience for adults looking to relax and unwind without the distractions of children onboard.

Are river cruises all inclusive?

River cruises can vary in terms of what is included in the price. Some river cruise packages may include meals, drinks, excursions, and entertainment as part of an all-inclusive package. However, it is important to carefully read the terms and conditions of any river cruise booking to understand exactly what is included in the price. Some river cruise companies may offer optional add-ons or upgrades that you may need to pay extra for. It is always recommended to research and compare different river cruise options to find the best fit for your preferences and budget.

Do I need traveler's insurance for a river cruise?
It is highly recommended to purchase traveler’s insurance for a cruise. Traveler’s insurance can protect you financially in case of unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, or other unforeseen circumstances. With the cost of cruises being quite substantial, having insurance can provide you with peace of mind and help you avoid potentially hefty expenses. It is always better to be prepared for any possibility while traveling.
