Enrichment activities on board the River Duchess
Enrichment activities on board the River Duchess, December 18, 2009—our Cruise Director for this fantastic river cruise was Bart, a multilingual Dutch fellow who was witty, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. He ensured that our daily walking tours were executed seamlessly, that our local guides were all top-notch, that onboard activities were interesting and varied, and that we were always briefed before our arrival in the next village. During our sail along the Rhine’s UNESCO portion, Bart kept a running commentary on the castles we passed at every bend in the river.
No wet-Tshirt contests or Dating Games on the River Duchess (thankfully); our onboard activities were more enriching and intimate and designed to immerse us in the local culture. One evening a shanty choir came aboard for a concert in the panoramic Lounge. Another night brought Master Glassmaker Karl Ittig from Wertheim who brought all his glassblowing equipment for an amazing demonstration of his art. An oompah-band and local children’s choir regaled us other nights, while our accommodating crew serenaded us with Christmas songs another night.
One afternoon while we were sailing to the next village, our Pastry Chef Georgy wowed us with his skills in creating edible works of art, all within minutes. And yes, we got to taste his creations.
One particularly memorable evening, Bart delivered a riveting lecture on the reunification of Germany. I’m not a history buff, so frankly, when this was announced, my eyes rather glazed over. But if I had attended lectures in school like Bart gave, I might not have such awful memories of history class. Suffice to say that it was enlightening, incisive, and captured everyone’s imagination. Besides all his other abundant skills, Bart is a gifted storyteller.
And when we boarded the shuttle for our transfer back to the airport at the end of our river cruise, Bart stood on the gangway waving us goodbye. Snow fell softly around Bart and our River Duchess, and it was really the perfect ending to a perfect holiday.

Reduce weight fruta planta is Spirulina Maxima. We found plenty of fruta planta information on Spirulina Maxima including the fact that it is used to cause fat in people with HIV and undernourished children. Bodyweight obtain is not the same as losing weight. Fruta planta pills provides for $30 for a one-month provide. Getting more boxes does not mean spending less. A six-month provide provides for $180 which is exactly six times the 30-day price.
