FAQS

 

Here are a list of some of the most frequently asked questions about
European river cruises.  If you have additional questions, please feel
free to call us.


How long are European river cruises?

Most Europe river cruises last from as few as 3 days to as long
as 25 days with the average cruise package being 9-12 days.

What is included in the price of my European river cruise?

Most Europe river cruises include the price of the cruise, all
shipboard meals and entertainment, usually beer or wine with
dinner, daily shore excursions (unlike an ocean cruise);

Plus, there will be plenty of on-shore time for you to either
explore the fabulous cities and towns on your own or to take
an included shore excursion. 

Is the airfare included on my Europe river cruise?

We are able to offer you both cruise-only packages as well as 
an all-inclusive price which will include the airfare and transfers
once you arrive. 

Is a passport required? 

All Americans are required to have a valid passport in order to
enter into European countries. 

Will I get seasick?

European river cruises slowly glide down smooth, wave-free rivers. 
It is extremely unlikely that you will be aware that your ship is
moving.  We've never had a client complain of motion sickness.

What is the on-board currency?

The currency used on board your Europe river cruise ship will be 
the euro.

Will there be a lot of children on board?

No. Europe river cruises are NOT designed for children. Most of the
river cruise lines will not allow passengers under 8 as there are no
'kids clubs' or other facilities for them on the ships. However, Uniworld
offers family cruises on select European river cruises in July and
August.

Is smoking allowed?

Smoking is not permitted on board most of the European river
cruise ships. If it is allowed, it will be on the open deck only.

Smoking is not permitted in the cabins on any European river cruise.

Will I have to dress up for dinner?

No. You are not required to bring your tuxedo or an evening gown.
The dress code runs from Country-Club Casual to just casual 
on the river cruise lines. Although, for the Captains' Farewell
Dinner, men will be requested to wear a tie.

Are the European river cruise ships wheelchair accessible?

Regretfully, the ships are not accessible for individuals who 
must use a wheelchair. Although there are a few river boats 
that have elevators the ships are not considered to be accessible 
nor are there accessible cabins.

What about any special dietary considerations?

For the most part, special dietary needs such as low-salt,
diabetic, vegetarian, low-cholesterol can be accommodated
with prior notice.
