But how are you going to sneak in a quick getaway or even find the time to plan? A weekend cruise is just what the doctor ordered!

I have had a lot of clients ask me what I thought of river cruises and differences they can expect after years of sailing on ocean-faring cruises. Clients who have been on a LOT of ocean cruises and are somewhat experiencing “port fatigue” are really looking to other alternatives for their holidays. However, they’re hesitant to give up a lot of the conveniences that ocean cruises offer when planning a vacation. I recently returned from a river cruise through the “lowlands” of Europe this past May, and here are my thoughts if you are considering a river cruise for future travel plans. I’ll go beyond the usual “ships are smaller, the voyage is more intimate” to share some things that may surprise you.

The Lobster Roll is a classic American sandwich that provides a light bite, perfect for the summer. With huge chunks of lobster, (the fresher the better), a soft bun and a hint of citrus with the squeeze of lemon, you’ve got yourself a lovely lunch.

Boston is arguably the most American city in the country. Children in America spend days in school learning about the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere’s ride warning that the British were coming and the shot heard round the world. It also happens to be a fairly popular city for cruises with more than 300,000 travelers making their way to or from the port. So we at The Cruise Web wanted to highlight some of the fun things to do if you are cruising from Boston or cruising to Boston.
