So, you’ve chosen the dates you want to travel, the river, the itinerary, and maybe even have a ship preference but now it’s time to decide where to put your hard-earned money when it comes to choosing a stateroom or cabin for your river cruise.
Several years ago, I embarked on my first European river cruise. Never having been a been a huge fan of mass-market ocean cruising, I was most pleasantly surprised by my Ama Waterways river cruise from Basel, Switzerland, up the Rhine, with stops in France, Germany and ending in Amsterdam, aboard the Ama Prima.
In the summer of 2018, my family, two friends, and I set off to visit Ireland. We rented a private home on a farm in the west of Ireland not far from the Cliffs of Moher just outside the town of Ennistymon in County Clare.
