River Queen

Went on the Christmas Markets cruise with Uniworld. The cruise was really amazing--excellent food, spacious rooms, great views, excellent service, all inclusive pricing. The local tours and lectures on the boat were wonderful. But, the best thing about the cruise was going with the group. We sat together for dinners and after dinner entertainment. The group included many people who liked to dance in the evenings, which was a blast. Everyone was so friendly, and I really enjoyed getting to know the people on the cruise.

The staff is well trained and very friendly. Everyone from the Captain, Hotel Manager, Cruise / Activities Director - ALL Outstanding.

Had to get up at 4 to depart ship at 6:30 for 1 & 1/2 hr. ride to Zurich. Other passengers were able to remain on board for breakfast, a morning tour of Basel and lunch before departing -- a much more pleasant final day to say the least.

At a pre-orientation meeting of our group before the tour, we were told to pack bathing suits. In retrospect, must have been a joke because no pool or hot tub available on ship. We would have planned differently next time and assumed that water, and wind would make temperatures much cooler than forecast, bring more sweaters and light jackets.

We had a great time and learned a lot a long the river about the history, cuture and traditions.

Need more activities for less able people or more vans to help done get around .
