Not the most interesting route.

I could not fault our experience on the Swiss Crown. Our cabin on the middle level was comfortable, food was excellent, the staff very friendly and efficient, nothing too much trouble. We were disappointed that we did not get to the Iron Gates due to weather conditions and apparently that is not uncommon. We enjoyed the cycle riding although a lot of the time there was not a lot to see apart from trees and grass. The last day was by far the best riding through picturesque villages and vineyards with lots to see. But unfortunately it was a day when we would have liked more time as we had to be back on the boat by 3pm. Also the ride briefing was in the morning rather than the night before so we could not leave straight after breakfast. Other days we had longer time on less interesting rides. However we did enjoy the whole experience but would not choose to do that particular route again. There was a lot more riding on roads (sometimes busy) than we were expecting.
