Differences Between A European River Cruise and A Barge Cruise

…l. CroisiEurope covers French Canals – Alsace, Burgundy, Champagne, Ile de France, Upper Loire and Provence. The one we did was more of a barge river cruise.

…xtricably linked to the ocean, and has played a key part on the defence of France against invasion for centuries. It is also where the Titanic started its maiden journey that ended so tragically. More recently it was also where France’s nuclear submarines were built, and is home to the very first one (The Redoubtable) that is now open for visitors to explore.

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…location are the main guests. The desk for working at has a proper work chair which makes a huge difference. There is a great, modern coffee making machine (which I wish more hotels had) and a really huge flat screen TV. The bed is large but not as comfortable as those at the Sheraton or Westin. There is a surprising lack of choice of places to eat or drink. There is only a very small bar in the lobby and one restaurant on the 3rd floor (which di…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…vailable later – use disembarkation day to explore, rather than sit at the airport. What do I do with my luggage while I explore? I first see if the cruise line offers an airport transfer with city tour, as the luggage travels with me on the bus. For example, I got off a Holland America cruise in Barcelona last year and did this. But these transfers tend to end by early afternoon. So, I also now look for luggage storage options. For example, I cou…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

Talking about how they had created sailings there to open a new region to guest. And how their small ships included ports bigger ships could not visit. I also realised that while the trivia, live music and so on were mostly not well attended. when they brought local entertainers, ran port and l…

…or better than flying economy on any of the major carriers like Iberia or Air France. And was actually no cheaper either, once you have paid for the priority boarding lane, to check a bag in, various service fees and so on. It seemed to suffer the same annoying delays from traffic control despite rushing the turnaround and getting people on board. The only major differences to me seemed to be you could not put your seat back (which was a positive…

The same is true in France. If you’re chartering or hiring your own canal boat. So, that’s a key option if you’re in Europe, or perhaps you brought your dog over on the Queen Mary 2?
