Kofo, We have not heard from you in months ?????. I miss all your river cruising tips and suggestions..... Get back to work. Ha Ha !!!!. Max. Australia.
Finally, a person of color talking about river cruises!! I am so interested in river cruising but also a solo river cruise. I'm of the age 65 but do river cruises offer solo pkgs or are there many people who take river cruises as a solo person? I live in the U.S. I have been on ocean cruises before but interested in river cruises. Thank you Sylvia
Hi Sylvia, Welcome and thank you for watching this video. I'd love to help with that solo river cruise you're interested in. I've taken 3 river cruises solo. I'll probably do a video about solo river cruising in the future, but if you'd like to have a one-on-one with me, you can reach me by email at *letscruise@**koartravel.com* I look forward to connecting with you.
You are wonderful! You have a passion for what you do and it shows. I’m currently shopping river cruises and I am honestly confused. I’d love to chat with you. How can we talk ?
We just finished a Danube River Cruise with Avalon. Budapest to Bucharest. It was our first time out since the Pandemic and it was so liberating. Also, as a Celiac, they were very attentive to my dietary needs. The chef meets one on one with all who have dietary needs. Everyday I’d get a special menu showing what I could eat without concerns and what items they would make special accommodations so I could enjoy that item.
Hi @Karl & Sandy Kildow So glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with Avalon and got the feel the liberation from the cabin-fever that resulted from the pandemic. Avalon is excellent when it comes to food and dietary accommodations. Like you, I never had to worry during my cruise that they could cater for my gluten free dietary accommodation. . Now that you are back, are you thinking you'd do another river cruise in the future?

Kofo I am going on a Christmas market cruise on Uniworld. This will be the first river cruise….anything you can suggest, experience with this line? Thanks so much! 😊😊
Hi Andrea, My apologies for the late response - travel is rebounding and it's been busy. Have you gone on your Christmas market cruise with Uniworld? If not, I can tell you that you'd have a great time. For your first river cruise, I'm glad you going with a river cruise line that really makes sure that everything is taken care of. Which river is your cruise going to be on - *Rhine or Danube?* . Safe travels and I'd love to hear of your experience when you return. You can also reach me by email for a quicker response at letscruise@koartravel.com
Love that you did this video, I'd wondered how you got involved in it! Have you done any ocean cruises to compare what makes river cruising in particular special or more desirable to you? ED: Never mind, just found your video on that!
Hi Angie Welcome to the community and thank you for subscribing. Depending on what your 16 year olds' interests are and your budget, you have the option of Avalon Waterways, Emerald Cruises & Uniworld.
Another thing, how is accessibility among the different River Cruise lines? I've heard few river cruise ships have elevators so it can be hard if you can't handle stairs. Is that true? Are there lines that are better or worse for that?
Hi Maurine, The major river cruise lines like AMA, Viking, Avalon, Uniworld etc., all have ships with elevators. River Cruising in general doesn't have the same accessibility features like ocean cruises, however, I've had a client in a wheelchair (the collapsible kind) do a river cruise with Emerald Waterways and she was well taken care of, still got to do excursions and loved it. Keep in mind also that Europe is not like North America, They've got a lot of cobblestone streets, some of which are steep and not a lot of ramps like we have here. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for watching!
What other river cruise travel topics or question would you like me to cover on this channel?
I am very impressed with the usefulness and quality of your videos. I wish you were still an active CZcamsr.
