So many tips, not just three! We cover the biggies: packing for the trip, food and drink on board and at the ports, and how to use your phone to enhance your vacation.

First tip is to about packing for your Rhine River Cruise especially if you want to travel light by only taking carry on baggage. Typically your suitcase is full and then you have no room to bring back souvenirs. Not any more with this travel hack! Buy clothes at Goodwill or any thrift store and then leave them behind if they don't fit. The cost is less and maybe that article of clothing wasn't all that great anyway. Where you do need to spend money on cruise clothing is on your footwear, your shoes. Make sure to have a good pair of walking shoes for the day excursions. You will be walking a lot to see the historic cities. Then bring a comfy pair to slip into when you get back on board.

Second tip is all about food and drink. The Viking river cruise ships are limited to less than 190 passengers and there is only one restaurant. You will be seeing people over and over so get to know them! Sit at different tables with different couples and make new friends! And very important information, even though the food on board is AMAZING and included in the price, we encourage you to eat off the ship too. Eat at the local cafes and restaurants, at least snacks. This is a great way to get to know the local culture. About the Silver Spirits package, we decided to do other options instead. We enjoyed the included beer and wine at lunch and dinner and the included mimosas at breakfast. We also ordered from the bar too and the drinks were excellent. We also bought bottles at the ports and brought it on board with no corkage fees.

Third tip is to use your phone to make the most out of this trip of a lifetime. Research the ports and castles along the way. Find off the beaten track things to do in each city. Use your map function to find your way. Download a great book or a crossword puzzles. I love to take pictures so I got ready for this trip by taking the iPhone Photography Academy course that taught me how to work my iPhone camera like a pro! The video includes an awesome hyper lapse time lapse of going through one of the river locks. I also suggest getting on a Facebook group for river cruising to ask questions, share pictures, and catch the excitement and buzz about the trip! Here's the group I am on and enjoy dedicated to Viking Cruisers from 2022 and beyond. The link to join: [ Ссылка ]

And final bonus tip that is the essence of our philosophy at Out This Door which is that we do not want this to be the trip of a lifetime! A trip of a lifetime implies that you will never go back or that this trip can't be topped - no way! You will want to go back to these places to explore more, you will want to take other cruises, you will want to take more epic adventures (regardless of what you mean by "epic"!). At Out This Door we want to inspire and encourage you to travel. See the wonders of the world, even if you can only get to your backyard. There's amazing and beautiful things and amazing people everywhere when we get out this door (in our minds) too! Happy and safe travels.
