Great time - Great trip. The boat was punctual, boarding was orderly. It began to rain, but there are large weather tarps hung on the upper deck. We chose table away from the railing and enjoyed the views! Those closer to the railings got wet and soon retreated indoors. The sound system was not the best, but understandable if one really focused. The food service staff were wonderful snd the food good enough. A thoroughly enjoyable time.

Wonderful short cruise on the Rhine - We really enjoyed our 2 hour cruise. I’ve visited Koblenz many times and even taken KD’s steamer down to Rudesheim which is amazing. But that’s a full day. This is a nice alternative that I would definitely do again. After a quick tour around the Deutsches Ekt, they cruise up river catching a few castles and plenty of scenery. It’s all narrated in German and English. They had a very nice menu and the prices were very reasonable. We had drinks to start and ice cream on the voyage back. The food others ordered looked great and they had a very nice indoor dining room as well.

Nice river cruise. - loved this experience. We traveled the river and were able to see Roman ruins, grape vineyards, and many sights along the river. We also went thru locks to gain enough heights to continue along the Mosel which was most interesting. Meals are served if you desire them. All in All, a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

Beautiful impression of Koblenz and the Rhine - Comfortable cruise on the Rhine near Koblenz. Enjoy a cup of coffee and a snack and sail past various castles and palaces. For the explanation by the German and English ‘guide’ you have to listen carefully, because there is a lot of noise from fellow sailors.

Trip good Kitchen bad - Trip by boat was okay, the restaurant on board was not. When we were just sitting the wait staff came to take the order when asked to come a few minutes later was waiting at the table for the order, which is very uncomfortable. The Flammkuchen Laughs ordered by one of us emerged from the freezer warmed up the spring onions had dried up. Half went back to the kitchen, saying that this did not meet expectations. Talked about it twice at the table pick-up and at the bill. There was no comment. The cash settlement shows Barzahlung 97,50 EUR there is 100 EUR settled Trinkgeld is not on the receipt.

Two hours well spent; the ship was nicely appointed and clean. The coffee was excellent - The ship was pleasant, clean and well staffed. The narration was a bit hyperbolic but overall it had interesting details.

Did not go. - We had to cancel the morning of the tour due to unanticipated delays leaving Spyere Germany. The cancelation cost was the exact same cost of the trip. Go figure.
