Cruising the Rhine, Main and Danube on the Uniworld “River Queen” is a trip you should consider.
The rivers, locks and the little towns along the rivers are hard to describe in one article, but
considering this was my first river cruise, I couldn’t have picked a better one. The ship and its
crew were so gracious and helpful. The Captain made all of us feel very much at home. Our
Cruise Director, Bart, even made an extra-special trip to a drug store to get cough medicine for
me - I couldn’t ask for better service than that. Bart was a most helpful Cruise Director as he was
always available, always happy and always had a funny story to tell about the next destination.

The Rhine River is beautiful in the springtime with lots of green hills and
vineyards all through the Rhine Valley. The ship goes through many locks to
get up to the Main River and then more locks to join the Danube. The castles
on the Rhine keep you busy with your camera or binoculars, as they seem to
be around every corner. Going past the Lorelei statue is a special treat, and
the Captain has to be very careful guiding the ship around the corner. Of
past, many sailors lost their lives thinking they heard Lorelei singing and
they forgot to watch out for the rocks that could sink their boats.

“The River Queen” is very warm and inviting. The crew is aware of your every
need and very helpful if you have any questions. The Chef prepares daily
meals according to the region we are going through. Every evening the menu
is posted with all the types of local foods we will be enjoy dining on and
where they are from. The dining room is large to accommodate one seating,
which is open. This makes it pleasant to visit with different passengers at
each meal. Breakfast and lunch are buffets and offer many choices with hot
and cold items available. Keep in mind that dinner is something special every
night, and try not to eat too much during the day - easier said than done.
Wine is served with dinner and visiting with your dinner companions about all
the exciting events of the day makes for a very enjoyable evening. Then after
dinner the Cruise Director always has something special going on in the
Lounge. A wonderful way to end a special day.

Each town you visit has its own identity so there is never an opportunity to
be bored. In fact, it is exciting to go and meet with the next local tour
guide. Each one is well educated, English-speaking and knowledgeable
about their particular town. They treat each guest as a personal friend so
it makes the visit even more fun.

Heidelberg was interesting in that it has a beautiful castle with lots of history.
It is probably the world’s most famous castle ruins. The enemy at that time hit
one tower, but part of it is still standing after all these many years, just as it
was the day it was hit. You really feel you are back in time especially looking
around the courtyard and visualizing what it must have looked like with all the
royalty strutting around in their finery. Oh, what a beautiful sight!
