When the ships are moving, you may hear some noise on board. This tends to be louder when the vessel is docking or manoeuvring to leave port. River conditions and the weather can also impact how much noise the ship makes. Cabins at the ship’s rear tend to be more affected by noise than those in the middle or towards the front of the vessel.
