People who think a Christmas Markets cruise is just a Danube cruise with colder weather are missing out. These cruises – which are only offered for four weeks each year – are like no other European river cruise you’ll take. And here’s why: #1: Europe during the holidays is vastly

One is on water, one is on land. And…scene. Kidding. There are a ton of differences between our river cruise vacations and our land tours, and they produce totally unique experiences. Let’s break it down. Size Our European cruise vacations (which include both river and ocean cruises) range from about

I’ve always wondered what a luxury all-gay ocean cruise would be like. Does the laundry quietly replace your tattered 2Xist underwear with Versace? Does each suite come with a personal fluffer? I’m sure most of us are familiar with both ocean cruises and river cruises, each of which has its
