AMA does it best. Having sailed on two other river cruise lines I can say that this experience far surpassed all of my other River cruise experiences. The crew was cohesive, friendly and provided superior service. The cuisine was world class in every regard with freshest ingredients and skilled preparation. The bike riding tour along the Rhine and up into the vineyards near Rudesheim was a glorious highlight as was the hike along the Philosophers Way in Heidelberg. The accommodations were spacious, well-appointed and lovely. Simply brilliant in every regard. I wouldn't change a thing!
