I'm off on the Budapest to Strasbourg cruise next week. I have done several other river cruises but only the China one in a JY group. River cruises are a great way to tour wthout the hassle of moving hotels. Don't expect oceanCruise glitz. River boats are long and narrow, and cabins tend to be compact. Fine for singles but, can be very cosy or two! That said, food is usually very good, and staff friendly and helpful . The big bonus being on a river is that you see so much more than you would on a road trip. You can always check out the cruise line and itinerary out on line. If a particular cruise interests you, go for it. You will be in good company on a JY cruise.
