I was surprised by my wife with the idea of a Rhine River Cruise. We have always traveled on ocean cruisers and have over 40 cruises under our belt. We so much enjoyed our cruise that we haven't stopped talking about it to all our family and friends.
The ship was smooth sailing and so much fun to see the inner countries that we never got to see on ocean cruises. Every port had a free excursion that were delicately planned to accommodate the curious and the optional, additional excursions, gave us further opportunities to see much more of the people and country.
Actual time spent on the ship was calm and never rushed. Meals and entertainment were so well done that plans are underway for another cruise within the next year. The cruise operations allowed us to arrive in our embarkation port three days ahead and we were provided wonderful air travel with great flights to and from our ports.
There are three floors of cabins and each has outside views. Each cabin has plenty of room for a couple and it is so very quiet compared to larger ocean ships. The movement of the ship does not effect the mood in the cabins, there is almost no feeling of rocking or rolling. The water slowly moving past the rooms makes for wonderful sleep.
These rooms are so very well cared for and cleaned at least twice a day...
Spent three days prior to the embarkation...wonderful place to walk and learn.
