mbuckley3 Posted March 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have a review of the Vantage Switzerland and the Heart of the Rhine River cruise and/or optional excursions? In particular the one to the Black Forest and another one to Luxembourg? I’m cruising from Amsterdam to Basel next month, May 2020. Then I am doing the extension in Montreux Switzerland. Should I visit Lausanne and the Olympic Museum? Any and all advice or input will be greatly appreciated.

rdfin Posted March 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would skip the Black Forest excursion it basically takes you to taste a piece of cake note the great scenery. Luxembourg was great. I was not on any of the extensions. It is a very busy river cruise, the schedule does a lot so get your walking shoes out. It is not for folks with walkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ural guy Posted March 13, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2020 We took this cruise in the low water fall 2018 season. Despite missing 5 days of sailing, we enjoyed the cruise. Vantage has you on the Rhine/Moselle for 14 nights, which few companies do on this route. They also replaced Frieburg with a stop in Nijmegen. Having been to both, I think I prefer Nijmegen. Plan on what you want to do with your free day in Schweich. I rode a bike back to Trier and really enjoyed myself; the day of our Trier stop was rainy and I had my extra day of exploring under a blue sky. Not much to the town of Scweich. You have a full day and night here, so you could plan a private tour to Luxembourg pretty easily. Hope you get to enjoy your sailing.

Rorygirl4528 Posted March 13, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I liked the Black Forest trip. The cake was great! Luxembourg was well worth the time. I would go there again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
