Lonely Planet – The Cruise Handbook

Cruising can be fun. It is not just for seniors. I speak from experience. In 2018, we went on the inaugural cruise on The A with U by Uniworld where we cruised down the River Rhine from Amsterdam to Frankfurt. And a few months after, we spent 11 nights on the Uniworld Imperial Waterways of Russia cruise cruising from Moscow to St. Petersburg.. We learned to appreciate river cruising which gives access to many smaller towns not usually frequented by tourists who travel on road.

Lonely Planet’s The Cruise Handbook is a great guide to cruise newbies and seasoned cruisers. The Cruise Your Way quiz makes a great guide to what types of cruises are suitable for you. There is a very useful planning guide to help you plan your first cruise. Expert guidance on everything from booking a great deal, family travel to making the most of your time on shore are provided by nine very seasoned travel journalists.

The Cruise Handbook is available at Lonely Planet at US$17.99.
