We love the Moselle and the lovely towns on its shores. That part did not disappoint. This was a new cruise, and we were the first group to take it. This was our fourth cruise with Uniworld, and we have always loved the elegance of their product. Here’s what was disappointing: 1. no pianist on board - have always loved the sophisticated atmosphere in the lounge with a pianist taking requests. No pianist. Bummer. 2. Food was not as wonderful as usual...twice I ordered steak from the alternate menu...both times lots of gristle and tough. No ice cream offered as alternate dessert. No apple strudel or sauerbraten although we were in Germany...bummer. 3. There were 3 evening shows. One was classical string music and it was terrific, but the other two played oldies and pop music. Uniworld has always been great about affecting cultural programs in the evenings (folk music, etc), but we didn’t get any. We didn’t book a German cruise to hear YMCA and ABBA in the evening.very disappointing. Ocean cruises play that pop crap...Uniworld is better than that. 4. The Uniworld catalogue in its description of this cruise listed a lot of cultural excursion offerings, NONE of which ended up being offered. 5. Too much time in big cities...Frankfurt, Mainz, Bonn, Cologne, which could have been spent in the Riesling towns on the Moselle All this being said, the service was FANTASTIC. Read Less

We liked the active discovery agenda. We were free to choose the level of activity and dining location. We loved the hikes and town walks. Staff were excellent. We enjoyed doing our lunches in the lounge with the piano. We liked the size of the ship and number of passengers. The only negative was lack of details of finding ship on our own and walking from train station with suitcases in Mainz.. We loved the little town of Xanten because it was quaint and not touristy and wish we were allowed more time in this port. This was our first river cruise. We prefer smaller ships for their intimacy and Felicity filled the bill. All decks were comfortable and we loved checking them all out. We added extra days in Frankfurt and Amsterdam. This gave us a chance to recover from overseas flights. The docking place in Amsterdam was close to train station and our hotel. Read Less

My husband and I always wanted to do a River Cruise and see Germany so this cruise was exactly what we wanted to do. We loved the smaller ship and the service was so good . All the staff was very helpful and friendly. The tours were good and we were very busy everyday. We loved the bikes aboard the ship and were surprised that they were such good quality. The itinerary also was very well thought of and the tours very we’ll planned. Our trip could not have been more enjoyable. The food was always great and well prepared and presented. We loved the breads at breakfast with the fresh beeswax. The lounge in the Stern always had homemade cookies and pastry that were so good , plus a free coffee machine with great coffee. Our state room was very comfortable but we could have had better pillows. We loved our cruise and had a wonderful experience. Read Less
