QuirkyCruise Reader Review: RIVER EMPRESS on the Rhine (Uniworld Boutique Cruises)

QuirkyCruise Reader Review: RIVER EMPRESS on the Rhine (Uniworld Boutique Cruises)

Reviewer: Mike from New York City.

Cruise Line: Uniworld River Cruises.

Ship: River Empress.

Destination: The Rhine River in Germany and France.

# of Nights: 7.

Departure Date & Ports:  July 2016, from Basel, Switzerland, to Amsterdam, visiting Colmar, Strasbourg, Speyer, Rudesheim, Boppard, Koblenz and Cologne.

OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5 stars.

Have you been on a small ship cruise before? Yes, a few.

Review: Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!

A European river cruise truly gives hop on/hop off a whole new dimension sailing seamlessly between historic cities and towering vistas along the Rhine. The vessel was luxurious, the dining sumptuous, the service impeccable and, best of all, alighting straight onto the banks of a charming river-side port was a welcome change from the tedium of the traditional big-ship tender process.
