Never been on a cruise, but you get to travel without leaving your room. Go to bed one night and wake up in a different city the next morning. Unfortunately, sleeping trains are not very common in europe, or somewhat expensive.
Which sucks because trains are cool af and I’ve always wanted to ride one with a private room. They used to be cheaper than other modes of transportation but I never got around to it. Now they’re just as expensive if not more and I missed my chance for cheap train rides 😔
I’ve been on four cruises. They are great for visiting many hard-to-reach spots, like the Aleutian islands and Alaska, or low-population islands in the pacific.
They are terrible for visiting crowded, small cities, like European “old towns” like Venice and Amsterdam, where there’s already plenty of $15 flights from other major population hubs.
Easy to fit one ship load of people onto the large beaches of a small Vanuatu island. Hard to shove three ship loads of people through the Anne Frank museum.
