The pleasure of traveling at your own pace
This was our first river cruise and we were totally won over by it! What a pleasure to travel at your own pace and to stop wherever and whenever you want. Initially, we were apprehensive about controlling the boat but the advice of the Nicols teams at the start put us at ease in no time.
