Excellent ship La Fayette with good accommodation and food. However 80percent of customers Were french which unfortunately did not help to make for a welcoming atmosphere on board!! Uk passengers were segregated on trips and in the dining room explained due to language . French talked through all English announcements. Very annoying,!! Dress code very lacking at dinner. Cruise staff introduced games and had a crew entertainment show which was more suitable for a holiday.camp and very embarrassing for crew and customers alike. No way to escape unless you went to your room! Would not reccommend this cruise

Admire the magnificent wine-producing region as you cruise to Strasbourg today. Strasbourg is a delightful blend of cobbled lanes and half-timbered houses which has changed hands between the French and Germans down the centuries.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002, the legendary and romantic Rhine River is bestowed with truly magnificent landscapes.
