We recently traveled on a European Viking River Cruise
for 16 days
on the Danube and Rhine Rivers
From Budapest to Amsterdam
The boat held 180 people
As an Empath/Sensitive (sensitive to others energy)
I struggled
I'm also social, but need alone time to re-energize
Lots of alone time or very small groups of people
After 16 days on the cruise
It took me a long time to re-group my spirit
To find my juju again
Maybe I didn't protect my energy enough
Didn't allow enough alone time
Though I wanted to experience everything we'd paid for
Never again - not 16 days
But will I go on a shorter cruise?
POSITIVES
Fun tours at every city
Food on the boat was very good
Leave your stuff on the boat in one location
Peaceful and magnificient views along the river
Incredible Service
Super organized and professional
Met many interesting people
Saw several incredible towns and architecture
Learned a lot about history in Hungary, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands
NEGATIVES
Socializing - most meals are on the boat and the smallest table for lunch and dinner was for 6 people
Socializing - the tours had 15-20 people per group
Being social for 16 days straight was incredibly overwhelming for me
Even for my husband who's more social than me
We missed time to focus on each other only
I could tell that it was difficult for others on the boat as well
Rigid Schedules . Every day was a tour with certain times that breakfast, lunch and dinner was served on the boat. We both realized that we prefer to plan our own schedule instead of having to eat at a certain time, take a tour at a certain time. Plus the majority of the time was eating on the boat, and we'd rather eat in the town we're visiting. Also the tours were quick, about an hour in each town.
DO I RECOMMEND A RIVER CRUISE FOR EMPATH'S
YES, but only if it's a maximum of 7 days. (definitely not 16 days)
(I'm not sure if I'd ever take another river cruise, but do recommend it)
We also arrived a few days early and stayed a few days after the cruise - highly recommend doing that.
Our room was on an upper deck with a balcony, also recommend that - you can see the views better, and when the weather is nice you can sit outside. There are beautiful lounges outside or inside as well, but I enjoyed the privacy of the balcony from our room.
Larleen is an empath and psychic, would she go on a European River Cruise?
Would love to hear from you
