I was more than excited to visit Strasbourg, France on day six of my cruise. It was nearly 10 years ago when I lived and studied abroad in Strasbourg. The city is filled with history, charm, culture and modern amenities. Strasbourg has been Germany and France many times over the century and because of this has such a unique blend of the two cultures.

The cruise provides a lot free time to explore Strasbourg. You will usually start with a guided small bus tour and then continue walking through the old city with your guide. I won't lie, once I got to the old part of the city I took my band of friends (that I had made throughout the trip) and ditched my guide to explore my city on my own. Make sure to stop in a bakery and get a French baguette and a cafe au lait. No one else in the world can make baguettes like the French and the coffee is oh so delicious. And if you can find the room in your stomach, try some french pastries and make sure to get a Tarte Flambee. Tarte Flambee is an Alsatian specialty you won't want to miss!
Tarte Flambee. Yes. Eat it. (Tanesia Brazington)
The Christmas Markets in Strasbourg are of course wonderful. I liked the change from Germany to France. You will see different kinds and styles of merchandise in the stalls as well as different foods. That is one of the great things about a Rhine River Cruise - you get to experience more than one culture!
It rained throughout the entire day in Strasbourg and even though I was soaked, it was completely worth it. My band of friends and I thouroughly enjoyed the beauty and culture of Strasbourg. Make sure to take your time in the 1200 year old cathedral, visit Le Palais Rohan if you have time (right next to the cathedral) and eat as much food as you possibly can!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
