Just back from the above river cruise, which I enjoyed very much. Just a couple of things to watch out for, if you are traveling from one of the regional airports you may be put on standby on either flight, it seems just you have no way of knowing if you will be on your correct flight, one lady arrived several hours after the rest of us and another was left at Amsterdam airport until they could get her on a flight. For lone travelers this is not really good enough. Also the boat is French, just you have 20 cabins out of 78, the French take over they are loud and rude. onewhat a shame a good holiday could be spoilt by just you not checking .
