The cruise downstream takes less time than upstream. Also, for cruising downstream the ship will drop anchor at midnight, and start sailing again in the early morning, while the upstream cruise keeps sailing both day and night. Because of this, on the downstream cruise there is much less noise at night and you can get a better rest at night. So, for many ships, the downstream cruise is more expensive than the upstream cruise, although upstream cruise takes longer time. Also, the shore excursions on the way are also different between downstream and upstream.
