UNIQUE FRENCH RIVER UNIQUE FRENCH RIVER CRUISES 2025 NOW ON SALE: UP TO 15% EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT © Michael Yung, Cruise Director, CroisiEurope Saverne sun deck became a ‘thing’ for us passengers, with bonus points for storks sitting in them, sometimes mistaking great balls of mistletoe in the trees for nests. A guided tour and generous tasting at the Meteor brewery introduced us to one of the area’s famous exports – beer! A visit to Maison du Kochersberg museum folk museum, revealed the fascinating and unique culture of the region. It is a gentle cruise, and as the sun glistened on the water, the only sound was the low hum of the engine and birds singing in the trees. At one point a train whizzed by at top speed, highlighting the difference in our travel arrangements and all of us agreed, slow travel is the best way to experience the region. And you simply can’t go to Alsace and not eat flammekueche, tarte flambée, a local specialty, which we enjoyed at a restaurant (included with the cruise). Traditionally it’s a bread dough baked with cheese and onion, cream, and various other toppings – followed by a dessert version with apples and cream. We ended with a tour of Strasbourg and a boat ride through the oldest section of the city followed by a gala dinner where the chef pulled out all the stops to create a memorable night. You feel that you’ve really seen the secret side of this region that most visitors are unaware of, though we had barely travelled 100km during the week. A truly fabulous cruise.
