The Majestic Rhine

27/Sep

John Clarke

“It made a pleasant change to travel by rail rather than by air. The Great Rail staff were very professional as always., the food on board was exceptional and the serving staff were an absolute delight. It would be very difficult to improve on the itinerary. Undoubtedly, this holiday was definitely up to the very high standard we have experienced on all our GRJ trips.

“Wonderful cruise from start to finish. Extremely comfortable ship (Amadeus Riva). Delightful crew who provided first class service throughout - nothing was too much trouble. Menu choice and all meals incredibly high standard for a relatively small ship. All excursions interesting and well organised by cruise directors. Would highly recommend to others.

Glacier Express & The Majestic Rhine

24/Sep

J Summers

“Wonderful experiences on this trip. My only reservations were some very tight connections on the railway journeys, and the heat which you can do nothing about! I think the information about the trip should say what the demands on the traveller are. Our tour manager for the rail parts of the trip, Steve, was absolutely outstanding in his kindness and consideration as well as his efficiency in managing the trip and dealing with any contretemps.

River Cruises through Germany - Traveller's Notes

Rivers have played an important part in every culture and society throughout history. Many towns and cities have been built around the river banks to utilise the resources provided by these waterways from the import and export of goods to travel, tourism and water sources. As such, taking a tour down the river today can provide convenient access to views of a variety of growing metropolises and cosy riverside towns. River cruises in Germany are particularly charming as, depending on your river of choice, they not only travel through sights such as the spectacular city of Cologne or the wine town of Rüdesheim, but also through areas of extreme natural beauty. River cruises exploring the Rhine for instance pass through the magnificent Rhine Gorge, a designated UNESCO world heritage site. Apart from its stunning views the Gorge is also home to the famous Lorelei Rock which has been the subject of many poems, songs and folklore. With cruises on the river Rhine and Danube all featuring views of Germany, whether you prefer the atmosphere of the city or the enchanting natural landscape, Great Rail Journeys provide a choice of river cruises in Germany to suit the desires of every traveller.
