What people love about River Cruise Tours from Basel
- Classical Rhine Cruise (Basel - Amsterdam)
With the price paid for this cruise, it should be ALL inclusive. The ship should have hand sanitizing stations. Entertainment after dinner needs to be a bit more entertaining. More history or description of the places we pass by would be appreciated. Optional excursions should be refundable when a passenger is unable to go.
