A River Cruise on the Border: Rhine and Moselle
Without any kind of doubt, Europe is something any traveller out there has to see at least once in his/her lifetime (or at least bits and pieces of it). And out of all the countries in Europe, Germany and France are definitely among the most important ones. As a matter of fact, Germany and France (and the history between them) lies at the very basis of the more recent European Union and it makes for the foundation of modern Europe itself.

River Cruising through Europe
Europe is known to be an “Old World” and, as compared to America, it is. Yet, this is not to be understood as a bad thing and the truth is that any of the European countries can offer you with a unique experience. The best way to travel in Europe is on a river cruise because this will offer you with enough time to savor every single moment of your journey – and Europe is all about savory (and not just from the point of its cuisine). Thus, one of the enchanting Rhine and Moselle river cruises can be precisely what you need if you want to experience Europe at its truly finest.
