    Potter Villages - Kirrwiller

    You'll start your day in the potter villages of northern Alsace, heading to either Soufflenheim or Betschdorf to see how traditional pottery is made. The artisans there still use techniques passed down through generations, so it's worth taking time to watch them work. Later, you'll drive to Kirrwiller for lunch at the Royal Palace, where you can grab a meal and then spend some time dancing if you feel like it. As evening comes around, there's a show at the Music Hall Theatre to catch before heading back to the ship. Dinner happens while you're cruising, and then you'll settle in for the night onboard.

Customer Reviews

  • Glen
    · September 27th, 2025
    Our cruise on MS Symphonie was excellent. The boat and our cabin in particular were comfortable and well equipped. The food was very good, tasty, beautifully prepared and presented, with well-sized portions, and a wide variety of French cuisine including many regional specialities. The included wines were varied, delicious and demonstrated an interesting range of French varieties. The range of the other drinks on offer was also very satisfactory. We did not feel it was necessary to try any of the paid drinks but it was nice to know they were available. Service was excellent in all categories: efficient and friendly. We only took two of the optional excursions (Strasbourg and Colmar) and both were well organised and very interesting. We would happily take another cruise with CroisiEurope.

    Fantastic cruise. Crew were great. Food was excellent. Excursions - Guided Tour of Paris and Landing Beaches (very informative, great guides). On evening of departure, with the upheaval of the French government and threat of lock closures, we were impressed with how staff quickly organized all passengers with coaches/early breakfast for departure from ship at 8 a.m.
