Your meals on the cruises are included in the price of the ticket. Sometimes your drinks will also be included, but that really depends on the company you booked with. So, research this ahead of time.

I have a small warning to my fellow gay travellers. There is a possibility that there will be a slight language barrier. The language on board might be different according to the cruise you booked. The entire menu and entertainment options onboard will be in a specific language. Though, I wouldn’t want you to worry because the crew will speak in English and they can help you translate anything you don’t understand. It’s also important to note that the guests would usually be speaking German, French, or English.

River cruises usually have a guest capacity of 150. These guests are split onto three different decks whether it’s families or otherwise. The cruise director, onboard, will organize 1 to 2 different tours of each destination. If you would like to participate, there is an extra cost for these.

From my experience, if you’re going on a gay holiday, River Cruises are perfect examples of what you can do to zest up your trips. If you’re looking to relax and enjoy sailing through beautiful landscapes, then consider taking the cruises out for a spin. Most of the guests onboard will be older, but it’s not a rule. Feel free, feel comfortable, and if you’re itching to go on a cruise through Europe, take this chance! Though, keep in mind that a European river cruise is far different than your regular gay cruises that are filled with our kinds of parties, if you know what I mean.

I worked on River Cruises for around five years, and I have never felt the freedom of travelling to so many cities and villages like this before. It’s, truly, a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you would not want to miss!

I wish you have a lovely gay time and please contact me if you need any help!
