What will I see on a Rhine River cruise?

First-time river cruisers usually ask us which itinerary should they choose. Well, it's hard to go wrong but, the two most popular are the Rhine River and the Danube River. The special characteristics of each journey may help travelers decide. Take a look at these short videos from three different cruise lines to get an idea of the things you'll see along the Rhine River.
