Europe has become the top item on many people’s travel lists because of its unique cultural history, exotic cuisine, architectural landscapes and magnificent or fresh and beautiful small town scenery. Among European travel methods, cruises are also being sought after by more and more people. However, there are still many things you need to pay attention to if you want to cruise to Europe.
First, choose the right time. The best time to travel to Europe is around summer (after the vernal equinox and before the autumnal equinox) and the three months of July, August and September, especially July, August and September. The climate in Europe is basically the same as that in China. During this time, European flowers, trees and other natural scenery All very beautiful. Of course, prices vary in different seasons. Prices in peak season are naturally higher than in off-season. So the time is determined based on personal circumstances.
Second, choose the appropriate line. If it is your first time to go to Europe, and if you take a cruise, you will definitely want to see the best of Europe. Then it is recommended to choose the Rhine or Danube route. For example, Viking Cruises' 11-day Rhine River route runs through France, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. You can see at a glance the passionate Amsterdam, the romantic and childlike Kinderdijk Windmill Village, the gothic Cologne, the cultural capital Heidelberg, and the spa and wellness Baden-Baden, etc. about 12 unique representative cities in Europe. Viking Cruises' carefully designed itineraries can give you enough time to truly sink in and feel the cultural charm of each city. Of course, many Rhine and Danube route products can also meet the personalized needs of different customers.
Third, choose a cruise ship with comprehensive services and comfort. After all, European travel is an international long-distance trip. From language, dining, cruise entertainment, cabin service, etc., you need to consider everything, so that you can have a comfortable and secure journey. The first is the full Chinese service. When traveling to foreign countries, you must be accompanied by a Chinese tour guide so that you can have a deeper understanding of the customs and characteristics of each country. Of course, traveling in Europe is basically indispensable for shopping, so shopping tax refunds also require Chinese services. Secondly, considerate and comprehensive cruise services include a lot. For example, the catering should combine Chinese and Western cuisine, and you should not only experience Western dishes, but also consider the "Chinese stomach"; for example, cabin hygiene, if you come back every day to face the If you have a clean and tidy room, you must be in a happy mood; for example, if there are rich entertainment activities on a cruise ship, such as dances, concerts, etc., it will definitely make the trip more exciting, especially if you are taking your parents out. Young people don’t have to worry about their parents being bored on the cruise ship... In short, the service must be thoughtful and meticulous enough so that they can have a happy and comfortable experience.
Fourth, pay attention to the cost description, it is best to have an all-inclusive price. When traveling, potential charges and arbitrary charges can be said to be the things that people fear most, which also greatly affects their travel mood. Therefore, it is best to choose an all-inclusive route, and preferably one that includes accommodation, meals, airport pick-up and drop-off, drinks, shore sightseeing tours during the trip, land and water transportation within Europe and even tips, and then In addition to buying it yourself, you basically don't need to pay any other fees for the "one-price all-inclusive" option, which saves you worry and money.
Basically, these are the precautions, but there are always some small things that may not be considered, so you must plan in advance and ask more questions to learn more. Viking Cruises provides one-on-one consultant services. If you have any questions or anything you need to prepare or pay attention to during the trip, they will tell you in advance.
