This has really whet my appetite for a European river cruise Irene. We’ve been planning either a canal cruise or a river cruise, still trying to decide, but this looks incredible. Definitely gone to the top of the list. I read recently that the Rhine and Danube rivers have historically low water levels right now, restricting the potential routes, so I guess timing is an essential consideration.

Great article, thanks for the depth of information.

Excellent tips for snagging a great deal on a cruise! We can certainly attest to the fabulousness of a “Viking Homelands” cruise, which you mention.

Add us to the “Wave Season” newbie list. I will for sure be taking at look at the possibilities…we so enjoyed our first small-ship cruise that we’re now considering a repeat! Thanks for this timely nudge, Irene!

I’ve never heard of “Wave Season” what a funny term. You certainly outlined many ways to get the most bang for your buck while cruising. Thanks!

I’m another non cruiser who had never heard of a wave season! It’s always great to learn something new. A two for one deal will always appeal! I must admit that the Viking trip through the Nordic countries is one cruise that appeals to me so you never know, it may not be too late to be a cruise virgin!
