Hotel on the River

River hotels offer a unique experience, providing you with an experience unlike traditional hotels while also avoiding the annoyances that many people find when going on cruise holidays. Most of these hotels allow you to experience the local culture while also allowing you to travel up and down canals; either through affiliate canal boat companies, or, as a different experience, it could be a mobile canal hotel/bed and breakfast. Although both ocean cruises and this new style of canal boat/barge hotel are both on the water, the two experiences of traveling across ocean and down a river cannot be more different. A river dock has the added benefit of being a lot more quiet and reserved than what people have come to expect from cruises. Traveling on a river allows you to enjoy sights from a unusual perspective, while also allowing you to remain closer to home. While a cruise will likely take a couple of weeks for you to enjoy the complete of experience, there are no such limitations when on a river boat. So, if you are looking for a new experience from a holiday and don’t have enough time for something else, try out a growing type of holiday with river hotels.
