Actually everything! The best thing was to make my terminally ill mother happy. She really wanted to sail on the Rhine again, she lived on a barge on the Rhine for the first 17 years! It was simply beautiful! Thank you!View original review in GermanDietmar

The cruise itself was great. Lovely views, friendly staff , good value. Ticketing could use improvement. It does not specify in the information about the cruise that it is only one way. We did not realize this until we were over 3 hours into the trip and we had not turned around. The gentleman on board helped us to arrange transport back to Koblenz. This oversight in the trip description should be corrected.
