Amsterdam Emerald Sun Cruise Reviews

We had never been on a river cruise and wanted to do a Rhine cruise. After a dozen + ocean cruises we did not know what to expect. The ship was beautiful and the crew were great. We had a panorama balcony cabin on the second deck and it was wonderful. The food choices and times that food was available was not good. Due to health problems, I need to eat at least 2 hours before bed. The late and ...

The negatives on this cruise were there was virtually nothing to do after dinner most nights. There were two evenings with group ...

Setting off from Amsterdam we were informed that the sun deck was to be closed for the following 4 days due to low bridges.
