- Treasures of the Rhine cruise (Amsterdam-Basel) MS Crucevita
Great, it could do more local food & wine from the area
- Treasures of the Rhine cruise (Amsterdam-Basel) MS Crucevita
Fantastic cruise with welcoming and professional staff who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our cruise. Comfortable beds, flexible cabins that could be reconfigured during the day to provide lounge chairs, great food with good choice at each meal, great rapport with staff, and a small, clean, ship. Loved our experience.

"The cuisine, the food and the service were excellent! The route was good, the information that there is no possibility to reach the city on your own at the landing place Rastatt was missing. There was a bus stop on site, but unfortunately no bus came! The excursion on offer was very expensive. The excursion to Rüdesheim with a visit to the vineyards and wine tasting was a joke! Serving the wine in shot glasses and a dry, small pretzel at the wine tasting is not possible! Not a sip of water, nothing else for the price, really a joke! It would have been nice to at least get out and taste the grapes in the vineyard. The musical instrument museum was interesting. Perhaps the information was given in French, there was no information in German! Our German-speaking translator translated in 1 minute what was said in French for 10 minutes.
