First but not last river cruise

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.
