A good holiday but not exceptional for the price. Lacked the wow factor.

Great Cruise, the boat, staff and food etc. were first class. Embarkation point disappointing, due to graffiti on walls and being there for 24hours+. Last day & night spoilt by another boat docked alongside, blocking the view from our cabin window & had to keep curtains drawn to stop anyone looking in.

Had a fantastic time cruising on the Rhine with Great Rail Journeys. From start to finish, the whole experience was extremely positive. All the staff were friendly, helpful and very professional. The only thing we would change would be the start at strazbourg , its a beautifull city but we were docked for a day and a half overlooking containers on the docks , not the pretty Rhine , and I wouldn't go to colone, its not a moan , otherwise absolutely fantastic. The excursions were all well organised and very enjoyable ! Staff on the ship were excellent and the food was so good . Thankyou Great Rail Journeys we will be using you again .

A good holiday despite the rearranged excursions and mooring locations due to very high water levels on the Rhein.
