Which formula to choose for a river cruise: a one-way or a round trip?
When you book a river cruise, you select the destination, duration and dates of your stay, as well as the number of passengers. And if you wish, you can define your own travel itinerary by selecting your stopover points. And above all, you can choose whether you want to book a one-way or round trip. A decision that we advise you to think about, as it has consequences on the organisation of your stay. Indeed, depending on the formula you choose, you have to think about your transfer or that of your vehicle, the respect of the deadlines and the places you want to visit.
A one-way ticket, the guarantee not to get bored during the cruise!
We often hear that the round trip is a source of boredom (which is not necessarily true, it depends on desires and characters). This is why many customers prefer to book a one-way ticket. If you are afraid of being bored, this is the right solution. This way you will enjoy your river cruise to the full. Nevertheless, you should be aware that there are some conditions to be respected. For example, you have to cover the distance between two bases within the time limits set out in your itinerary. This implies paying attention to the weather when you stop. Likewise, you must think about your means of return. Either you have your vehicle transferred to your destination base, or you opt for a transfer by taxi which incurs additional costs.
The round trip, the ideal choice for taking your time and discovering a region
If you like to stroll when you visit a monument, a village or a city, the round trip will suit you better. Indeed, with this formula, you really sail at your own pace. All you have to do is bring your boat or barge without a licence to the base on the day and time indicated when you make your reservation. This type of cruise also allows you to discover a landscape from two different angles, in the outward and in the return direction. For example, you can admire it in the morning the first time and under the light of the end of the day the second time. You also don't have to worry about your car as it is waiting for you at your departure base.
So it's up to you to decide which formula best meets your expectations! And if you have any questions, our team is at your disposal to answer and advise you in your reservation!
