It’s our first time with CroisiEurope on a 5-day Rhine river cruise in June from Strasbourg France to Cochem Germany and we thoroughly enjoyed!!! Thank you all to the hardworking and friendly crew…especially our entertainer Stephone who translated everything in English (even the trivia games so we could participate)!!! We were 5 english speaking passengers among a ship full of French speaking passengers (French & Swiss nationals). We felt very welcomed and I got a chance to polish up a bit of my French. With a little bit of French from me and some English from the fellow passengers, I didn’t feel there was any communication issue. My husband who didn’t speak any French said the same. Of course, the crew speak English and we didn’t encounter any issue. The ship M.S. France feels new (2001), well maintained and clean, our room is small but clean and functional, the meals are delicious, crew members are friendly, evening entertainment is fun, the scenery is breathtaking, the towns we visited and overnighted are picturesque, the rates are reasonable, what more can one ask for?! Well…perhaps to stay onboard a bit longer Read Less
