Read the itinerary
Treat every river stop as its own small journey.
River ships often arrive close to the centre, but the exact mooring can move between sailings. Walking routes, coach transfers and overnight calls all change what is realistic, so keep the day flexible until the final programme is confirmed.

Confirm the mooring
Use the cruise line's daily information for the final landing point and access route.
