    We were the only two Americans on the MS Monet from Amsterdam to Strasbourg. The staff could not have been friendlier and went out of their way to make us comfortable and a part of the trip. What a great way to assimilate yourself into French culture. The highlight of course was the food.The Monet is a little smaller than most of the river ships and we considered that a plus, getting to know many of the passengers and feeling a part of everything. This was our first experience with CroisiEurope and we certainly hope not our last. Thanks for a great experience,
