Creator's Key Takeaways

TUI river cruises, in my opinion, are of the best value on the market too!

I'll show you the fly-cruise process from London Gatwick to Frankfurt, transfers to our boat, TUI Maya, in Mainz

Matthew and I paid just over Β£3,000 each for this week's river cruise that price includes your return flights transfers accommodation full Board Plus which means breakfast lunch dinner and drinks included

The food was beautifully presented really good ingredients and absolutely delicious

In this vlog you and I will spend a week together with Maffoo onboard TUI Maya river-cruising the Rhine over Christmas. TUI river cruises, in my opinion, are of the best value on the market too!
