Absolutely all types of recreation have both pros and cons. A boat ride is no exception.

Disadvantages:

– Being in a confined space. You can’t go ashore when you want. The ship is sailing on schedule and stops at specific places.

– Inability to consider in more detail. For tourists who go near to see the sights of the city, a boat trip is not a good option. For example, only the domes of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra are visible from the Dnieper. However, the Motherland statue from afar looks much more attractive.

Benefits:

– Lack of hustle and bustle, you can’t hear the engine at all, like, say, in a sightseeing bus.

– River walks have a positive effect on health: relieve stress, strengthen the immune system.

– A versatile entertainment program. On the ship you can walk, view city landscapes, listen to music, dance, eat your favorite food.

– A good, useful and exciting vacation with children in the fresh air.

– Affordable ticket price.

– A large ship with all amenities: a bathroom, a restaurant, live music.

You can always walk around the city, and arrange a river excursion only in the warm season, so why waste time? Rather book a ticket.
