Want to River Cruise WITHOUT breaking the bank? Then try these river cruise lines.
One of the biggest sentiments around river cruises is that ‘they are so darn expensive’. In today’s video, I’m addressing this pain point with a wholesome list of the Best Budget River Cruise Lines for American and Canadian travelers. They are great for first time cruisers, solo travelers, and travelers looking to get a taste of what river cruising is like. These river cruise lines are also a great alternative for travelers who may have always wanted to do a river cruise and have been challenged by the budget required by the major river cruise lines.

Thank you very much for watching. Which of these river cruise lines did you know of before watching this video?

@jrobspartz Год назад

I've cruised with Emerald and enjoyed it.

@Bobrogers99 Год назад

Thank you for posting these "budget" cruise lines. Onboard frills are not important to me, so it's good to see that I can still do a river cruise that I can afford. I just ran into the receipt for my Russian Waterways trip in 1993, 15 days, single cabin all-inclusive, and including round-trip airfare it was $2,500. I know inflation has changed the picture, but some mentioned in this video look promising.

@koartravel Год назад

Bob, that was a great deal you got back then in 1993. Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad to hear that you found some promising options in this list.

Thanks so much! Looking at Grand Circle, special price, appreciate your description of the boats!

Trying to coordinate with friends is a nightmare! When did people over the age of 60 get so BUSY??? Thanks for mentioning single supplement and roommate options.

@marycolmenar1633 Месяц назад

I used to put an effort into inviting and asking friends to join me on a trip. After one literally did not respond to my invite and another who just cannot do it anymore due to other life commitments, I realized solo traveling and joining a group in a tour is an excellent way of meeting new and possibly like minded people.

Concise explanation in less than 11 minutes.

I booked a 7-night all inclusive Rhine cruise on VIVA in October. Excursions are included.

So glad I found your Channel, I am a traveler and I needed your advice on River Cruising I have been on Viking, but I need something a little more budget friendly. I think you are great, so much information

@evelynholtonstephenson5186 I'm glad to hear this video was of great value to you. Which river cruise line did you decide to go with?

@user-ie8ho8rd8d 3 месяца назад

We’ve had great experiences with Amadeus/Lueftner too

@sarajotoku668 3 месяца назад

Great summary of affordable river cruises, thanks Kofo! (It looks like Vantage Travel has now closed, boo...) I would be interested if there are even cheaper cruises maybe at a local level...when a family is going together, it gets quite expensive even with these 'budget' options. That said I hadn't heard of several of these cruise lines so thanks very much for providing tips on each!

@welltravelledlife Год назад

New subs here. We’ve done river cruises and love them. We have 2 weeks in Europe and there’s a Croisi cruise that fits our itinerary. Thanks for your comprehensive reviews.

@koartravel Год назад

Welcome to the community Jonathan & Jennifer! So glad to hear that you found a Croisi Europe cruise that fits your itinerary. Please share your experience when you return. 🙂

@welltravelledlife Год назад

@@koartravel Not sure we're going to do it, but we sure appreciated your review so we had a better idea of what we were looking at.

@koartravel_ Год назад

@koartravel Год назад

Hi Phillip, I'm glad you found value in this video. Have you taking a river cruise yet?

@krashpass Год назад

Nice advert, but not much in the way of numbers. Anyone looking for "budget anything" wants to see a price tag first, sales pitch last, even if it's only an estimate :o)

@koartravel Год назад

Hi krashpass, Thank you for sharing your comment - I'll take it into account for future videos. I did include examples of prices for river cruises from the website of as many cruise line in the list as possible.

@andreas4268 Год назад

Thank you Kofo! Good information and ranges of travel for river cruising.

@koartravel Год назад

There are quite a number of options Andrea S. Thank you for watching.

@miabeia3117 Год назад

Thanks for doing this!❤ which River Cruise line do you feel has the healthiest and quality food on it? We have only been on Viking’s. I love them but I think that they feel that Americans love sugar etc in their food and aren’t healthy eaters. Love Viking but wish their food was healthier…🤷‍♀️

@koartravel Год назад

@Mia Beia Avalon, AMA & Uniworld are very high ranking when it come to food - both in quality and in healthy options, in my experience.

@stevehenson3325 Год назад

Can you recommend a video for the ama prima? Will be sailing it in December and there is not much out there

@koartravel Год назад

Hi Steve, Is there something specific about the AmaPrima you're looking for that you're not able to find? There is a ship tour video on the AmaPrima like this one from In the Loop Travel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PfcAYbuapCE.html Let me know if you have any other questions. P.S. Happy Sailing for your December cruise, I can imagine that you're excited for it.

I definitely would not give any company straight cash. There’s no protection there. Should the cruise line go bankrupt. You would never get your money back.. is best to put it on a credit card and have travel insurance that includes cruise company bankruptcies

@ricklatouch2263 7 месяцев назад

Wondering what are the rules/restrictions regarding bringing alcohol onto a river cruise boat?

@cgreen6369 Месяц назад

I know on Viking (which she does not mention here) you can bring wine on board that you have purchased at one of the stops. No corkage fee!

@lifeisaholiday 11 месяцев назад

None of these are budget .geeze.

@upnorth2421 10 месяцев назад

Just check Viking or Avalon. These are affordable compared to them.

@Kathleenthefernwayflipper Год назад

Great video. Thanks so much. We are headed to our second European river cruise. First was with Avalon in the Rhine. So wonderful! Now we are going on the Danube with Gate 1. I am curious, have you ever done a video about North America reviver cruises? Like the Snake and Columbia rivers or Mississippi?

@rogerbaker5090 6 месяцев назад

Which cruise line did you like better, Avalon or Gate 1?

@Kathleenthefernwayflipper 6 месяцев назад

@@rogerbaker5090 it depends on the budget. If there isn’t much difference in The prices, I would definitely go with Avalon. But Gate1 was good for the price.

@JaJa-qt5sf Год назад

It is not fair that crew members still have to wear masks onboard.

Do you have an idea about Edelweiss gastro ltd by scylla please?

@koartravel Год назад

Hi Amine, I do not. From a quick internet search, it looks like it's one of Scylla's companies that hires hotel crew for river cruise vessels. in Europe. Hope that helps.
