  • The second day of our German Rhine River Cruise took us from Mainz, to Mannheim, to Rüdesheim, which was a great place to try some local wines, do some shopping, and hike up through a gigantic vineyard that has been producing wine for thousands of years! #cruiseship #rivercruise #germany

    2:35 The water tower was damaged by allied bombing during WWII. My great-grandfather was a metalsmith and he helped rebuild the roof when it was restored in the 1950s.

    I love that you travelled on a Not a Big Brand Name line for another river cruise. I dont need IG-able food or the fanciest of rooms. Tasty food, good service, fun itinerary and cozy rooms are just fine by me.😊👍 Nice to know there are options!

    You actually passed two very impressive cathedrals but didn't really mention them: those of Mainz and Worms. There's even a third large romanesque, imperial cathedral on the Rhine, just a few miles beyond Ludwigshafen: Speyer Cathedral.

    We are looking for a lower cost cruise on the Rhine. Thus might just fill our needs. We don’t need fancy food or a drink package. Thank you.

    Took the Avalon Waterways Impression, we were in the rivers only days ahead of you. We never had to order food in advance. It was always lovely.
    I am glad you guys did some touring on your own.

    In Ruedesheim after you take the cable car to the monument, you can walk a way and take a chairlift down to the town of Assmannhausen where you can go back to Ruedesheim by boat or train. Nice little round trip

      Yes, we need a review on
      Nicko Voyager. It goes to Iceland, Greenland and Scotland. All 3 places are bucket lists for most people. The ship has less than 200 passengers. It looks interesting thank you for your reply..

    Like the vid! Couple of Questions
    1. Luv that you did your own excursions! wondering about the fees and how to pay or did you prebook'em?
    Luv that NICKO is budget friendly but...
    1. Were all of the meal options "tiny portions"?
    2. What time of year did yo travel?

    • @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides
      @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides  8 месяцев назад +1

      Most of the stuff we did on this cruise we just kind of paid as we went, like the cable car or the subway rides.
      Tiny compared to what? :-P
      This trip was in May, I believe.

    Hey there!! I’m saving up for a river cruise. Do you have a specific video where you compare contrast the different river cruise lines you’ve been on? I’d love to know how they compare. Viking- Viva and Nicco, and any others I missed.

    Quick question Morgan...are any of the stops on your cruise at places you can visit all those faiytale castles? Thats the issue I had when we did a coach tour of Ireland. We passed all these csatles and ruins but didn't stop. Of course we did Blarney, Cork and the sheep farm, woolen mill and distillery and it was very fun, but are there boats that will stop with castle excursions?

    • @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides
      @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides  11 месяцев назад +1

      Good question, and the answer is actually no! You only get to see them from the deck of the ship!

  • @MAB_Canada
    @MAB_Canada 10 месяцев назад

    Why do they need for you to decide what you want for lunch and dinner at breakfast? Never had that happen on either of the river cruises I’ve taken.

    • @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides
      @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides  10 месяцев назад +2

      I think it's so they can be more specific and less wasteful with the food preparation and storage.

    How did it happen that you wanted to order red wine instead of the famous white wine? I assume that you had tasted two glasses of the famous pomace brandy before. 😋
    Btw: "Sea Lachs"? This must be "Denglish" for coalfish. 🤣

    River cruises are boring, the ships are extremely small. It is better to make the tour from Duesseldorf along the Rhine to Basel by train.Use hotels to get to know the country and the people.

      We like to do both land and water. Only unpack once and get a beautiful view on the boat. Then you can decide where you want to go back to - then when traveling by land, enjoy the culture and meet locals. Both good ways :)
