    Wonderful scenery and the crew of the MS Symphonie Croisi Europe made our trip very special. The weather was also on our side.

      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 CruisesOperator•Written 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.
