    Very relaxing Christmas cruise. Very informative too. Food an beverage menu was a nice surprise, only downside was there wasn’t enough staff to take your drink/ food order which meant we was half way through the cruise before our order was placed and another 10 minutes before it arrived, we then felt rushed to drink and eat it.

    In general, luck was that the weather was super nice and that was at the end of October. The booked time, from 11:00 a.m., was perfect because there wasn’t that many people. It was a round upstream with automatic comments around Frankfurt and its buildings and bridges. The way back, it would be turned around to get back to the starting point.

    A very enjoyable trip up and down the river, with the lovely sunny weather it made for a very relaxing 2 hours. Plenty of room on the boat, good food and friendly crew. Great views of the Frankfurt skyline with good commentary in English and German. We'll worth taking this trip.
