As this is a new route, we have no real customer feedback yet, but try:

 

Lord Byron:  "...until he reached the castellated Rhine:- Ye glorious Gothic scenes! How much ye strike all phantasies, not even excepting mine!  A grey wall a green ruin, rusty pike, make my soul pass the equinoctial line between the present and the past worlds, and hover upon their airy confines, half-seas-over.."

 

"...and many a rock which steeply lowers, and noble arch in proud decay, look o'er this vale of vintage-bower;  but one thing want these banks of Rhine, -thy gentle hand to clasp in mine.."

 

"Adieu to thee again, a vain adieu! There can be no farewell to scene like thine; The mind is coloured by every hue; and if reluctantly the eyes resign their cherished gaze on thee, lovely Rhine!"

 

Goethe:  "River, river glide along, without stop or stay!  Murmur, whisper to my song in melodious play..."

 

John Gay:  "Pour out the Rhine-wine!  Let it flow like a free and bounding river; till sadness sinks and every woe lies drown'd beneath its waves forever, for naught can cheer the hearts that pine, like a good Rhine-wine"

 

Heinrich Heine: "The air is cool and it darkleth, and calmly flows the Rhine.."
