One of the biggest worries for first-time cruisers is what to pack for a river cruise. That’s easy, all you need is casual clothing that is comfortable and suitable for sightseeing and a few items that you can dress up for dinner – though there is no formal dress code at mealtimes. Layers are a good idea, as is a lightweight, water-resistant jacket. And remember to pack sunglasses, sun cream, and a sun hat. Some excursions will involve a visit to a place of worship or religious site where you’ll be expected to dress modestly. Shoulders and knees must be covered, so bring a shawl or light long-sleeved top to wear inside – zip-off trousers are also handy. Pack enough memory cards for your camera. It’s easy to take plenty of photographs while on a river cruise, especially when spectacular landscapes await around every bend and you join outstanding sightseeing tours. Don’t risk not being able to capture an awe-inspiring sight to show family and friends back home, and don’t rely on being able to purchase well-priced back-ups at your destinations. Excursions are unhurried, but if you have any mobility issues check with your tour manager about walking distances and the level of difficulty involved. If you’re following a tour guide and listening to their history lesson, a shooting stick with a seat may prove an invaluable item to have in your luggage. Money TipsHolidays are all about having a good time, not worrying over tipping etiquette. There are no compulsory gratuity add-ons with Riviera Travel river cruise – any thank you for excellent service is entirely at your discretion. If you do wish to tip the crew (and it’s worth knowing that tips are shared between staff), consider leaving €5 to €10 per day. Come prepared. Even if you’re on a European river cruise, not all the countries on your itinerary may accept the euro. For example, our Blue Danube river cruise stops in Budapest, as well as Vienna and Salzburg, so you’ll need Hungarian forints if you’re planning to buy at markets, cafés, and shops that won’t accept credit cards. Don’t expect an ATM or exchange facilities on your cruise ship. Your cruise manager, however, will be able to tell you the nearest place to change currency.Food And Drink TipsDrinks packages on board a river cruise can be good value – but it all depends on how much you wish to drink during lunch and dinner, and whether you’re happy with house wine and draught beer. Before making any commitment, do your sums, and remember that everyone travelling together must purchase the same package. Don’t worry about missing your favourite hot drink while you’re on a river cruise. All of our cabins have facilities for making tea and coffee and are stocked with well-loved brands.
