Live from Avalon Artistry 2 - Amsterdam-Basel inc Mosel River

[Memsahib27]

Day Five on the cruise from Amsterdam and thoroughly enjoying everything. The weather wasn't so good on the first part and the scenery not so good from Amsterdam to Koblenz but since then it has been really beautiful. So glad we did it with the best part last rather than ending in Amsterdam and having that boring stretch of river on the last few days. We did have 3 days in Amsterdam before the cruise and that was also very worth doing. The Mosel River is spectacular - the towns and villages so quaint, those we pass and those we have visited so far. The Artistry 2 and Avalon staff have been wonderful. The cabins are spacious with full size showers and having the panorama window that opens is fantastic. Food and excellent wines with dinner couldn't be better and tours and talks excellent. We are not quite half way but I did say I would try and report as we go along. The high banks covered in grapevines, many growing on terraces built in Roman times adds something so special. It would be beautiful to travel in their Autumn and see the colours. :)

We did this as a wine cruise (not Avalon) in fall of 2012 and it was beautiful! The prettiest scenery of any of our river cruises so far and one of our best trips overall.
