We thought we knew cruising… but this was somethin We thought we knew cruising… but this was something else! A few years back we tried a river cruise, and honestly, we weren’t sure what to expect. Would it feel too quiet? Maybe even a little dull? Well, we couldn’t have been more wrong! It turned out to be one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken - drifting along the Rhine, stopping at charming little towns, indulging in delicious food and wine, and joining immersive excursions that made every day feel an adventure. It’s such a different experience compared to ocean cruising, and the videos from that trip are still some of our most loved. If you fancy a Thursday throwback, search “Cruise Monkeys Avalon” on YouTube and relive it with us! ⭐️ #rivercruise #avalonwaterways #cruisemonkeys #cruiselife #rhineriver #europeanadventure #travelthrowback #wanderlust #travelgram #bucketlisttravel #throwbackthursday #thursday #Memories #gaycouple #Travel #cruise
It’s one of those cruise traditions people feel di It’s one of those cruise traditions people feel differently about… We know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but we do enjoy getting the tuxedoes / dinner jackets out onboard! At home we rarely get the chance to dress up smart, so once or twice during a cruise feels fab. Whether others join in or not, we like to think each to their own — that’s the great thing about cruising, there are always plenty of places and activities so everyone can enjoy it their way! Do you enjoy dressing up onboard, or do you prefer keeping it casual? 🐵 #CruiseMonkeys #CruiseVlog #CruiseLife #CruiseCommunity #CruiseAddict #CruiseShips #CruiseHoliday #CruiseTravel #CruiseFun #CruiseFans #GayTravel #lgbttravel #GayCouple #CruiseStyle #FormalNight #CruiseFashion #LuxuryCruise #Travel
