Event Description
Having enjoyed a river cruise in France in 2022, Sue embarked on a trip down the Rhine in September 2023. Joining the boat in Cologne, we stopped off at Koblenz and Boppard, before travelling through the scenic and historic Rhine Gorge. Passing the famous Lorelei, we made for Mainz, then on to Mannheim, from where it was a short bus trip to Heidelberg. Continuing south we ventured into France for visits to the gorgeous towns of Strasburg and Colmar. Then on to one of the best known of Rhineland's wine villages - Rudesheim. We ended the voyage with time to explore Cologne. Not as exotic as some of the trips Sue has undertaken but, having rarely visited Germany, it was a good chance to explore new places. And this sort of trip is perfect for those who don't want to venture too far afield. With river cruises you can do as much or as little as you want - do the organised walks, enjoy free time off the boat, or sit on deck and just enjoy the sights.
