Rhine River Day 6: We arrived in Cologne, Germany, for sightseeing and chocolate! In the morning, we took a walking tour of the city, a mix of old and modern. Much of the town was impacted by air raids in 1944. The Cologne Cathedral was started in the 1300s and has been part of an ongoing rebuilding and restoration. The city is known for 4711, Eau de Cologne. We made a brief stop outside a store to sample cologne. That afternoon, we were able to make our own chocolate bars. Keith and Tim also took an afternoon walk to secure their Hard Rock city shirt before sailing. We chose to dine with one of our Adventure Guides, Clement, this evening. He is from France and spends his time away from ABD working at Disneyland Paris in Guest Relations and VIP services. It was a lovely dinner. Apparently, we were hungry today, because I have no photos of the food!

Rhine River Day 5: Today was full of sights and sounds! We visited Rudesheim, Germany. Our first tour of the day was Siegfried's Mechanical Musical Cabinet. These were fascinating, and we really enjoyed seeing them all. I was most impressed with the one that played actual violins! After that, we could go on a bike ride and/or take a gondola over the city and vineyards. After enjoying local food, the afternoon was spent sailing through the Rhine Gorge, viewing over 30 castles. It was a beautiful sailing though quite chilly. They did have blankets for us and served some Rudesheimer coffee (coffee, brandy, and cream). And, of course, we had our evening dinner with a lot more food. This was one of my favorite days of our river cruise adventure.

Hi Friends! I am planning a group river cruise for Spring 2026. I am considering two itineraries - which one would you be most interested in:
1. Belgium & Holland Tulip Season - Celebrate spring in the Netherlands and Belgium when the Keukenhof Gardens and Floralia come alive. Experience the whimsical Kinderdijk windmills and the art of Michelangelo. Discover the timeless traditions of Delft porcelain and revel in the medieval architectural treasures of Bruges, Middelburg and Ghent. Throughout your journey indulge in Belgian chocolates, warm waffles and delicious cheeses—all while savoring the storybook atmosphere of the region. An Amsterdam pre-stay would also be available.
or
2. Provence Region - From romantic cities to foodie havens and artistic epicenters, this itinerary enlivens all your senses. Begin your cruise in Lyon, France’s culinary capital, and savor the beauty of legendary vineyards and imbibe in local vintages like Beaujolais and Côtes du Rhône. You can even become an expert in all things culinary: go in search of the highly prized “Black Diamond” truffles and learn how to pair chocolate with wine. Explore Avignon, a sprawling commune with an overwhelming array of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, intriguing art museums and historic charm. Lower the drawbridge of your fantasies in Arles, where you will trace the steps of famous artists including Van Gogh and Picasso. This would have an option post-stay in Barcelona, Spain.
I'd love to have your opinions - or tell me if you would like another destination!

Rhine River Day 4: We made it through the locks late the day before and arrived in Speyer, Germany for our next day of adventure. Today we toured Heidelberg Castle. The castle construction was started in 1214. It became the castle of Kings and has a long history, including destruction by French troops in the 1600s amongst others. Now it is a popular tourist attraction overlooking the town of Mannheim. There was a huge wine barrel in the barrel room that can hold over 57,000 gallons of wine! We had a great guide who was very in character for her presentation. After the tour, we road a funicular down to the old town for snacks and window shopping (the stores were closed since it was a Sunday). Keith was craving soda in a can or a bottle, so we found some to take back to the ship. Marie and Tim tried curry sausage. I’ll be honest - Keith and I had a turkey sandwich and lemon loaf at Starbucks. 😂Then we ate more delicious food on the ship before calling it a night.
