River Cruises: Top Reasons to Jump on Board

Increasing in popularity and demand throughout the travel industry, river cruises offer a unique and unprecedented approach to vacation. These sought after trips present a fresh take on travel, combining both comfort and adventure, affordability, and an up-close opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and essence of the multiple cities and landmarks you encounter along the riverbank.

At Go Next, we partner with Emerald Cruises to offer exceptional river cruise experiences. Their ships, providing luxurious state of the art amenities, comfortable and spacious staterooms, and a variety of options for entertainment and recreation, are just the cherry on top of the river cruise experience.

Check out our list below for a few of the many reasons you should book a river cruise for your next vacation:

• Unpack Once: Instead of living out of your suitcase, you can avoid the hassle and fully unpack in your cabin – giving you a far more comfortable and convenient experience.

• Guest and Travel Support: Go Next’s river cruise packages offer transfers to and from the airport, as well as a world class team supporting your reservation.

• Relaxed Culture and Small Town Feel: For those seeking a relaxing environment and slower pace, a river cruise suits your needs, taking a more leisurely approach to Europe’s backyard.

• Smooth Sailing: Prone to seasickness? Rivers are calmer than open seas, reducing your chances of sickness and storm-related discomforts.

• Personalized Service on Small Ships: Low guest-to-staff ratios allow more attentive service, giving you the ultimate guest experience.

• Ports Close To The City: River cruises dock closer to city centers, offering easy access to unique destinations that aren’t accessible for larger ships designed for open seas. This gives guests the opportunity to fully experience the local culture and see more of what each city has to offer.

• Manageable Deck Plans: Smaller ships typically have fewer people and more attentive guest services, increasing both space availability and support. Emerald’s Star Ships have fewer decks, making trips across the ship shorter and more manageable.

• Endless Scenic Views and Places to Explore: On a river cruise, you will never lack for a breathtaking view or a chance to step off the ship and enjoy the destinations along the way. There will be daily opportunities to stop and explore an ancient port, quaint city, or medieval castle as you sail by.
