Looked forward to visiting the upper reaches of the Rhine having visited most of the lower cities and villages on previous trips. The ship was well maintained both in the public areas and the cabins. the staff were extremely helpful especially the cruise and hotel mangers who responded positively to all my requests however small. The dinning room was very well presented together with the staff. The choice of food both hot and cold were complemented not only with tea, coffee etc but also with choice of either house wines particular to the area or a selection of wines from the menu.

The highlights of the cruise was definitely the trip specifically arranged by Scenic to a concert by a soprano and baritone who not only kept all the passenger enthralled but performed numerous encores. The cruise also provide entertainment with other groups and musicians who were excellent, The only down side was one that were unable to reach the notes and sang slightly out of tune.

The included trips were to very interesting places with multiple options in the area. The provide guides were very knowledgeable and provide a insight to the local area and customs. A simple hand held device provided not only the tour guides presentation but also indicated the local street plans, individual tourist routes and the way back to the ship.

Cabin Review

Since situated on the lower deck, the cabin did not have a veranda but it was more than sufficient for our needs with plenty of storage space. The television provided not only TV programs and films but also daily information on the current location together with the weather and Wi-Fi availability.

The twin beds were comfortable and serviced by the staff in the morning and evening for turn down. Initially there was a slight problem with the shower that was reported at breakfast time and was fixed by the maintenance team on our return.
