Phoenix travel on the Rhine – an honest picture

Phoenix Reisen is the insider tip among the Rhine cruise providers: many years of experience, loyal regular customers and a price-performance ratio that often makes the more expensive competitors look old. Phoenix relies on proven routes, personal service and a classic cruise experience.

The target group tends to be a little older than A-ROSA - but the ships are comfortable, the service is friendly, and the routes cover all the important Rhine highlights.
