What people love about Rhine Cruises from Amsterdam
- Classic Rhine Cruise (Amsterdam-Mainz) MS Crucevita
We had a wonderful time! The staff were excellent. Riverboat cruising is the perfect way to see Europe.
- Treasures of the Rhine cruise (Amsterdam-Basel) MS Crucevita
Crew, Cruise Director, everybody was friendly. Many different countries/languages and all were catered for. Marvellous, small ship, not as many trimmings ( most which are not required) - importantly, we had fun - great trip - Thank you
