In comparison to barge cruises, river cruises vary in that they’ll cruise the rivers of Europe instead of the small canals. Ships are larger and carry from 80 - 200+ passengers. Oftentimes, passengers find a beauty salon, swimming pool, dancing and entertainment, and a gift shop on board whereas you will not on barge cruises. Some of the ships offering these short cruises feature bicycles and cycling excursions, optional excursions packages and full spa facilities.
