Hundreds of riverboats and barges cross Europe's historic rivers and canals throughout the year.
Changes in the Europe river cruising style are not that far as operators such as Avalon, Uniworld, Tauck,Viking River and others are investing in new boats that "incorporate more of today's contemporary features" like spacious suites, Wi-Fi, gyms, spas and pools, according to Cruise Critic.
When River Cruise Lines manage to get all of the above done, river cruising will have no reason to be "jealous" of an ocean cruise. The beauty of visiting a variety of historic cities while river cruising is more than enough for some passengers.
