We choose this cruise for a couple reasons. The Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland were areas we wanted to see for their beauty and history. We were excited to see these places that have history and buildings dating back over a 1,000 years. We were excited to see and visit some of the Castles along the Rhine and to taste the local cuisine and to eat in a restaurant that has been serving patrons for over 500 years. We were excited to walk the streets where my ancestors came from! We were excited to visit the magical Black Forest. There was not one disappointing excursion on our cruise!
The ship itself was a gem! It was just beautiful. Because the ship was only 200 or 300 passengers, we met a lot of different people at our meals. It was possible to get to know several other passengers and engage in lively conversation!
The food was always plentiful and delicious. Service was impeccable. The dining was fun! Our entire cruise staff was awesome. Nick Hale, the Cruise Director, was always a perfect 10 in terms of his comedic and entertainment talents! He always had the entire group laughing and having fun.
