- Treasures of the Rhine cruise (Amsterdam-Basel) MS Crucevita
Fantastic cruise with welcoming and professional staff who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our cruise. Comfortable beds, flexible cabins that could be reconfigured during the day to provide lounge chairs, great food with good choice at each meal, great rapport with staff, and a small, clean, ship. Loved our experience.
Amazing cruise...the whole experience was amazing. The staff were exceptional...helpful, friendly and went out of their way to help you. The whole trip was very relaxing and the onshore tours were great. Loved it!

"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.
