Which is more enjoyable:--- a slow train journey or a river/canal cruise???

Question

EDIT::

Can you kindly mention something about---comfort, amenities/food on board, any nice places passed through.

Answer 1

Personally I find a canal/river cruise more pleasurable.

For some reason people will always wave to those sittin on boats. They don't wave to people on trains. They look confused n turn away.

Or maybe it's just me?

Answer 2

Would have to be the train - I get motion sickness on water.  Train especially relaxing if it's one of those old steam trains running through beautiful countryside.  Can recommend the route from Pickering to Grosmont in North Yorkshire

Answer 3

A combination of both would be ideal...

Answer 4

Definetly a river cruise.  To me a slow train journey reminds me of all the wasted hours I've spent on delayed trains.

Answer 5

No brainer here!  The cruise is better.  Much more room to walk around and what not.  Also better views.  

More food to choose from too.

Answer 6

canal cruise

Answer 7

combination of both would be great. If i had to choose- the river cruise.
