Duudeman Posted July 22 #1 Share Posted July 22 Looking at booking a Rhine cruise and wondering if there is a better side (East or West). I know the morning sun vs afternoon sun issue but wondering if one side has better views (from the cabin) or other things to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted July 22 #2 Share Posted July 22 Don’t worry if you think the view may be better on the port side rather than the starboard just adjourn to the lounge and indulge in a coffee or aperitif whilst appreciating the views on offer. Enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JordanF Posted July 22 #3 Share Posted July 22 I did this route--I don't think it matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pontac Posted July 22 #4 Share Posted July 22 Boats generally moor facing up-river, i.e. facing direction of flow. Whether you face bank or river depend on what side of the river you moor. Also either side you may be rafted. When moving ,the most scenic part of the journey is the middle Rhine gorge which has many castles in a short stretch. But they are on both sides, so for the best views you need to be on the sundeck or in the lounge. So it doesn't matter which side your cabin is. What might be of more importance to you is direction of travel; whichever cruise line you are looking at will offer the cruise A to B and B to A. So check out flights. Does the line take you to Basel airport, does that fly to your nearest airport or do you need to connect. Does the line take you to Zurich airport does that fly to your nearest airport or do you need to connect. Ditto Amsterdam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
