    Dear Graham, thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that you had a great time on board! As most river cruise ships are quite small and intimate, most do not have a lift. If you prefer to sail on a ship with a lift, we recommend A-ROSA ALEA, CLEA and SENA on the Rhine or A-ROSA ALVA on the Douro. Team A-ROSA

      Why is there such a big price difference between the cabin categories when both have fixed windows? What makes the more expensive cabin special?

      Crucemundo focuses on smaller, more intimate river cruises, while A-ROSA offers larger, resort-style river cruises with modern amenities, diverse dining, and onboard activities, emphasizing the ship experience compared to destination-focused tours.
