Paris was the dirtiest city I’ve been to, but that was 40+ years ago. We’re doing a river cruise to Germany. Been on lots of ocean ones, but never a river. The last time we tried to go to Egypt, there was an insurrection, so I doubt we’ll get there this lifetime.

Exactly. Why Paris is put on such a pedestal I'll never know.
 
No one mentioned Greek Islands? I know not a river, but it's not the ocean either. 🤷‍♂️
 
Rideau Canal Ottawa to Kingston
All the money you save on airfare will be a good start on another bike
No one will call you a F###ing tourist.

Try Fort Albany in July.

I coulda used a pod filter for my mouth.
 
The American river cruises look interesting, but wow are they pricey . They seemed geared to people that have money but not enough for travel insurance abroad .

Big cruisers in great shape are as cheap as dirt these days, you can do your own river cruise between Toronto and New Orleans.

Boat and fuel could cost less than one of those pricey Viking cruises. @crankcall is retired, maybe he’d skipper for ya.

We’ve been invited on a canal cruise in England. We call them canal boats ( they call them long boats ) , five hp diesel single cyl engine and they top out at three kms an hour , which I understand is plenty fast enough. Four of us , pub to pub cruise . This should be comical.

Those things are great. There’s a huge amount of canal infrastructure left over from the big industry days of the UK and tons of canal side pubs etc. Very relaxing. I remember steering one as a kid. The canal paths make great hikes too.

Lots of great YouTube videos - I love the ones that have contact with bridges.
 
My inlaws went on a river cruise several years ago.
They showed up in Europe but the rivers were too high. It turned into a bus tour.
I can think of nothing worse than a bus tour.
