No need to fly to the other side of the planet when there are far
better river cruises in the US, and I've been on several, in Canada
too. I've no need to jet set just so I can play the snob.
I've cruised the Hudson four times, wonderful... and it's a short
drive for me.

Many of my neighbors have their own cruising boats moored on the
HUdson half the year, during winter they trailer it home... my
neighbor across the road has a 40 foot double pontoon sailboat that
I'm invited on all the time.
I've cruised the Mississipi, the River Rouge, St Lawrence, Great
Lakes, Lake Tahoe, and several day cruises on the Lung Guyland Sound
that were superb... The Staten Island ferry is better than any
fercocktah filthy smelly river Euro cruise.
Nancy, I'm sure there are wonderful cruises not far from your front
door.
