Chris drops by this episode to chat with us about the where the river cruise industry is at and where it's going.

We discuss:

• AMA Waterways just announced a pretty state of the art ship that will debut next years. What are river cruise lines doing to separate themselves from the competition?
• What about ocean cruising - are the river cruise lines trying to capture the ocean cruise market?
• How to align what river cruise itinerary would match your personality or your cruising style?
• Demographic in river cruises. More younger folks are surfacing on river cruise lines - is this going to be a trend or just a fad? Listener Q from Maria in VA What is the suggested time to pad your trip on the front and back end if we want to explore Rome before our Northern Europe river cruise.
