  • Join us in Strasbourg, France for a French Fairytale River Cruise! We explore this incredible city as well as visit some French Christmas Markets - they are slightly different from the ones in Germany. Walking through the picturesque streets is like being in a Disney movie! Plus we see beautiful Christmas Decorations and lights all around the city!

    These videos from your river cruise have been amazing! I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to take us along with you on your adventures. I’ve cruised many times, but mostly to the Caribbean and Canada, so I’ve never seen anything like what you’ve shared with all of us. I can hardly wait for the next video, from the Black Forest. I’m already starting to work on my husband to do this trip next Christmas. 🤞🏻

    Hey guys - myself and my wife have been devouring your videos for many months - we were due to cruise last year for the first time with Celebrity for our 30th Wedding Anniversary (which bit the dust - obvs..) So, so disappointed - but we are booked again for July next year. We were saying last week how brilliant it would be to board our ship to find you two on it, we owe you many cocktails for all the brilliant content we have both enjoyed. THIS cruise however - has us totally sold, it looks absolutely fantastic. Great videos as always chaps - Happy New Year ! (Yeah bit early but whatever...) :D

    Great video. You are sleeping a lot because you are walking around in the COLD all day long. This is totally normal, but being in the cold all day long is pretty exhausting. Also, you should drink extra water because it’s easier to get dehydrated in the cold. Stay healthy guys!

  • @annesoper911

    I am watching this on December 30th, my 75th birthday. I started cruising at age 4 and a half traveling to Australia from England. These were 4 and 5 week excursions and I loved them. I resumed cruising in 2008 when my late husband and I owned a small mobile home very near Orlando and we cruised every year till he passed in 2019.I then took my daughter with me in October of that year.
    Watching you lovely men document your cruising at this scary time is so comforting. Thankyou and a very Happy New Year.

The bakerys and cafes have fantastic food,good you tried some,i am a little jealous but looking forward to go back there 2022 . Have a nice start into the new year🥂 and stay healthy 🙋‍♀️
