A family cruise on the Rhine

Cruising the Rhine on Uniworld's River Ambassador

Cruising the Rhine on Uniworld’s River Ambassador

River cruising and children aren’t the first holiday combination you might think of. But I took my kids on a family-friendly Uniworld cruise on the Rhine and we had a blast. We cycled to a castle for wine tasting (or apple juice for the children), learned how to make apfelstrudel, had a water fight on the river bank and rode the cable car in Koblenz up to Schloss Ehrenbreitstein.  As a bonus, I won a Passenger Shipping Association (now CLIA) award for the piece, which appeared in Cruise International magazine, for ‘Best river cruise feature of 2012’.
