..Indeed there are many options to choose from for you SLOW cruise journey and trip to Italian coats thus you really need to know how to immerse yourself!
To LIVE your SLOW CRUISE Journey, walks and dives in maximum comfort and discovery, here just a few quick tips
CHECK YOUR DOCUMENTS
Before leaving your slow ship, check your travel documents in case of any mistakes and keep them handy for quick retrieval
WALKING SHOES
Wear walking shoes that are padded enough to keep your feet comfortable, as you will have to walk a lot once you get off the river cruise ship.
USE LOCAL CURRENCY
Try to convert your currency in order to make it easier to pay locally in case you are unable to use your credit card.
PACKING LESS & EASY
Really bring with you only the clothes you need, and always a light sweater or jacket to help you in case the air conditioning is too cold...Also trie to travel with only one piece of hand luggage and one small bag possibly soft, light and easy to carry
ARRIVAL TIME
DO NOT ARRIVE ON THE SAME DAY OF YOUR DEPARTURE
As often happens, something could go wrong.. for example air flights cancellations or delays in reaching your LAST destination in Europe...
Or lost or delayed luggage for days.
It is always good to arrive AT LEAST 1 DAY BEFORE as a very effective opportunity to immediately approach the your final destination and with the locals at the origin of your " immersion"
UNIVERSAL ADAPTOR
Don't forget to bring with you a universal travel adapter that will be useful for connecting your devices in different situatuations,moments and places
GOOGLE TRANSLATE
in this case , It's not a bad idea to use Google Translate to make it quiker and easier for you to understand right away any sort of urban written signs, and menus in Italian among the various restaurant that I'm sure you won't miss, right?
MOBILITY and ACCESSIBILITY
YOU MOBILITY FIRST!!!!!
Focus on your mobility, *disability or limited mobility, and check with your cruise river ship river/company ON THEIR modalities and services according to your needs
-It will also be good to focus on their proposed and chosen itineraries and routes considering that If you rely on a wheelchair, walker or scooter ALSO
need to be under your attention specific local infrastructure
SO "EXPLORE" the excursions you will decide to take as in some coast you need to walk accross cobblestone streets, high stairways etc..
With river cruises you will stay in a group with other fellow travelers with whom you will walk so much and you should keep up!
However be sure that with most river cruise ships/companies you’ll be able to find A VERY gentle easy walking tours , which are ideal for those who move VERY slowly.
