The trip was a special romantic birthday present from me to my husband, and it met all our expectations. We made our own travel arrangements to reach Strasbourg by train, boarding our ship MS Modigliani there. The vessel was an absolute delight, from its comfortable lounge and bar to our lovely cabin with its views of the river, and from the sun-deck to the dining room, we can honestly say we were delighted. The ship was immaculate. The atmosphere - and food! - on board were unmistakeably French. Full marks for the delicious meals and ample portions. Our hostesses (Yasmine, Jessica and Emilie) and indeed all the crew were friendly, welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble, it seemed.
In the three days (4 nights) we were treated to a perfect view of all the magnificent castles, churches and pretty riverside towns of the Romantic Rhine, while enjoying a coffee or drink on board, as well as fascinating visits ashore, including picturesque Rudesheim and a particularly good value guided tour of historic Heidelberg.
The holiday more than fulfilled our hopes and was over all too soon, leaving us only our memories - and many, many photographs!
