YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Day 7 of our Riviera Travel Gastronomy of Switzerland and the Rhine River Cruise was our final full day onboard and we were sailing towards Cologne, Germany. We spent the morning enjoying the ship and the views of the Rhine. We had an afternoon included excursion booked for 3pm to visit the Lindt Chocolate Museum. We walked from the ship and were surprised by the history and origins of chocolate. We got to experience where chocolate comes from and how it is made, and of course we got to sample some too. After the tour we were able to walk to Cologne Cathedral and we were surprised by its size and its beauty. We met up with an organised walking tour and were able to get the bus back to the ship. It was the captains farewell dinner onboard and we also enjoyed some crew events and entertainment. Day 8 was our disembarkation, and we enjoyed exploring cologne before our transfer to the airport. Although we were invited on by Riviera our thoughts and opinions are our own.
