Ditto.
We've only been on one "cruise" which wasn't really a cruise at all, but a trip from Washington up through the Inner Passage to Alaska on the Alaska Marine Highway System on MV Columbia in 2013. The trip took three days. It was absolutely wonderful. You could bring your own food, or buy it on board. You could choose from a berth/cabin, or camp out on deck. You could even bring your pets but they had to stay below decks in the ferry's vehicle hold. It was just regular every day people, some going up for jobs, some returning home after visiting Outside, some just tourists like us who wanted the experience. Everyone had a story. If you wandered around and said hi, you met some really cool ppl.
Couple of pics:
Camping on deck:
The Columbia is undergoing overhaul now, and the whole AMHS is in financial trouble and cutting routes.

You misspelled "whine". Lol.
You never realize just how vast the vineyards of Napa Valley are until you see them in person, some literally stretch as far as the eye can see. I'm guessing you are a white wine person. I like a good Cab, or Merlot. We have some very good sweet wines here locally. This is one of my faves, plus the graphics are a hoot. https://www.maizevalley.com/shop/hanky-panky/

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
That could work. They've got them in Europe and in the States. You could get two couples and a boat with bikes included. Or bring your own bikes if you like. One couple drives the boat while the other goes biking along the trail by the shore. And you know since it's a canal there are no hills to pedal up. Plenty of places to pull over and swap out driving or riding. Sounds cool. I think you can get them with more cabins but then you need more couples. That could get 'interesting.' It's enough of a challenge to get 2 people to want to do the same things at an agreed time, let alone 4 - 6 - 8 people. But I guess if you're in a canal the options are limited. You can go forward or back where you came from. Or you can stay where you are for a day. And then there's always the weather factor. It would be good to be flexible.
All in good time. Maybe after we get done with this pandemic in a year or two.

Glad I didn't own any cruise line stock. Who knows if that will ever come back.
