    A high value cruise down three rivers and a canal with stunning views and exquisite weather. So much fun, entertainment and sheer pleasure. So well organised with a multitude of onshore activities and onboard relaxation. Scrumptious food and bottomless drinks. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and courteous. This is a must do.

    The New Year in Holland and the Romantic Rhine (port to port) was a lovely cruise. My husband and I were very happy with the staff, the cruise itself and the places we visited. It was relaxing and informative. The food was wonderful and varied and well presented. We did not have to do anything, the staff greeted us on arrival and took our bags to the cabin, and took our bags to the taxi on departure. We had a great time.

    Route good. Excursions OK. MS Douce France very well maintained for its age. Unfortunately, many windows in the lounge and cabins are frosted and prevent a good view. Great cuisine, varied and very tasty and beautifully presented! 1++!!! Table drinks also excellent. Staff super friendly and competent!

      We have reached out to the operator to see if your son can join on the 23rd Dec 2023. The operator has advised that it would be possible for the second passenger to board the ship on Day 4 in Wittenberg - in the morning. However, river cruise schedules are always subject to change due to the weather, water levels, etc.

    Do people get seasick on the trip?

    Travel Support
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperatorWritten January 2023

      Your chances of getting motion sickness on river cruises is much smaller because there's less motion. On the rivers, you're not dealing with ocean waves and currents. But for most rivers in the US and Europe, the motion felt on the boats is significantly reduced.
