Luxury River Cruises for Mature Travelers – Amazing Changes

|

Ama-Dolce-FoyerLuxury River Cruises for Mature Travelers ……… Not So Long Ago

Luxury river cruises for mature travelers have changed dramatically in the past five years.  Instead of the small cabins that used to be the standard with perhaps a couple of slightly larger junior suites and one truly comfortable master suite, the new boats are competing to provide generous sized cabins with double balconies and much larger bathrooms.  

Gone are the tiny cabins where only one person could move around comfortably at a time, and when dropping the soap in the minuscule shower did not allow room to pick it up.

Luxury River Cruises for Mature Travelers

When our clients ask me about their choices for luxury river cruises for mature travelers this year, we can tell them about some amazing changes.  The new boats are now longer, since the regulations governing the maximum length were changed several years ago.  It is not possible to change the width and height dimensions of the boats, which must be strictly adhered to in order to allow them to pass through the river locks.

Ama-Dolce-CabinClever engineers have designed upper decks with more lounge areas that can be hydraulically lowered to pass under bridges, but height limits are still closely monitored.

With longer boats, more cabins have been added increasing passenger capacity on some of them in Europe to almost two hundred people.  While a few cruise lines have chosen to expand their passenger sizes, others have added several dining venues or pools with swim-up bars, while offering much larger standard cabins.

What Are Some of the Special New Amenities on the Latest Boats?

One company offering  luxury river cruises for mature travelers has invested heavily in having free wifi in all of their cabins with access through the flat screen TV or on your laptop.  If you have ever tried to share two public ship computers that werr slow and kept dropping the connection with all of the other passengers, this high speed internet access will have you jumping for joy.

Another one is expanding its Suite Ships where most of their cabins measure 200 square feet and have a wall of windows that can be opened into a balcony without losing any interior cabin space.  These are really nice for taking pictures and adjusting the amount of fresh air you want.

A truly innovative approach to creating luxury space on the lower ship decks, where the water line is too close and large picture windows cannot be opened, is the loft concept.  By providing a raised platform seating area and a much taller window, a loft look is created and the window can be opened.  Normally, these cabins without fresh air access are less desirable and have the lowest pricing.  However, the new lofts are a trendy new idea that enhances the lower level cabins and provides fresh air.

Taking a popular feature found on the larger luxury ocean cruise ships, a well known river cruise line will introduce an outdoor terrace for dining, as well as their main restaurant and a bistro.
