  • Join us on the Avalon Waterways Panorama for our first ever river cruise! We joined Avalon Panorama in Amsterdam and spent 7 nights making our way down to Basel on a Romantic Rhine river cruise.
    In this episode we've arrived at Rudeshime (Rüdesheim am Rhein) where we take the Choo Choo train in to the centre, next to the Siegfrieds Mechanisches Musikkabinett (Mechanical musical instrument museum). We opted for a hike up to the The Niederwald monument.
    After our hike back down, we try the Rüdesheimer coffee. All this was complimentary.
    We then made our way back up to where we'd just hiked on the cable car. The Seilbahn Rudesheim Lift cost 10euro per person.
    It was then time to head back to the ship as we were getting hungry!

    🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys?
    We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us!
    We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails).
    We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.

    Damn you! I think you might have convinced me… The food has looked impeccable, the scenery, that cabin, the ease of getting on and off the ship, the nighttime strolls… I think this would be great with a small group of friends…

    • @CruiseMonkeys

      Do it! Yes, we’ve said the same, family or a group of friends, it would be ideal!

    I remember doing this on our cruise. I did the cable car up and walked down. Much more enjoyable for me ;) Beautiful scenery.

      Hehe, that’s a good way of doing, don’t know why we thought a hike would be a good idea 🤣 these gondolas were lovely though, slowly climbing up the hill, perfect 👌 would certainly do it again

    So funny seeing this. I live on the Rhine between Rüdesheim and Mainz and love it here. Germany is fab. You should do the cruise again in December to enjoy the Xmas markets - Rüdesheim's is lovely.

    At @16:07: I thought it was you 😉. Score!!! Game!!! Match!!! Surprisingly, the slower pace of the river cruise suits you both well. Seems like you have more time to take in the details of the places you visit. Interested to hear your thoughts.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      With river cruising, the port is definitely the ‘main event’ and with complimentary excursions you really get immersed in the places we visited.

    I love Rudesheim, been twice and now fancy it again!

    Thank you for showing so much of Rudesheim. It’s becoming my favourite Rhine cruise, may well be booking with Avalon. Would you have time to visit the mechanical musical instruments museum as well?

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad you are enjoying it. The museum and the hike were taking place the same time so it was a choice. But with the ship not leaving until late you would have time to do one independently if you wanted to and we’re happy to walk back to the ship, which we did :)

    Thanks for taking us along on this lovely river cruise. I enjoyed your evening stroll and all the train shots. Speaking of trains, is Luke's earring a mini rail spike? a dagger? What is it? It looks dangerous....

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you are enjoying the videos! Not sure what it is, think it is just a random spike earing :) A lot of people also notice the anchor one :)

    Thinking of taking our first river cruise. You videos are amazing. I think the Rhine may be what we book. Would love your thoughts on the active and discovery cruises.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh fab! We found this cruise a fabulous experience and more active then we expected. The adventure host had an excursion each day from hiking to cycling. Lots of fun

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This was around the last week of October last year. It was actually the final cruise they did before taking a November break where the ship gets parked for around 6 weeks and then they restart for pre Christmas cruises

    You needed some Amaro digestif for after dinner.

      Oh, will give that a go, sounds like just our kind of after dinner drink!

  • @Menaboucher
    @Menaboucher ปีที่แล้ว

    We booked this cruise! How difficult was the hike? Could you do it at your own pace or does the group stay together? Thanks

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The hike is done with your onboard activity host and they stop every few 100 yards to make sure everyone is ok. Its not a proper hike like you’d get in Norway etc.
      You do not need to stay together and you can happily do your own thing. We split off from the group after the coffee to get the gondola up and down. If you start off with the guide, just ask them for directions and say you’ll happily go on you own from there 😀
