Description of the Walpurgis Night firework on Thursday, April 30, 2009
The big firework of the event Rhine River Lights on the Middle Rhine River takes about 8 minutes. The firework enchants the visitors with its wonderful pictures that are created in the night sky and also with the sound effects, which are reinforced by the echo in the narrow Rhine River valley.
The fireworks Rhine River Lights are high fireworks. This doesn't mean that the fireworks are shot off from a hill or a rising, but refers the ascending height of the firecrackers and rockets. The ascending height of a high firework normally has a height of up to about 80 meters. That's how the high firework differs from a baroque firework or a ground firework, where only ground effects are used.

With the decrease in the value of the dollar and the high price of fuel the cost of hotels and meals have doubled in European during the last three years. Savy travelers have come to understand that a river cruise offers the best value for a European Vacation. Accommodations, all meals on board and shore excursions are included in the price and some companies even include wine with dinner. Because of this, you do not have to live in fear of the $300 per night hotel bill, the $100 not so wonderful restaurant meal and the $10 cup of coffee with no free refills.Mike Davies
Many people believe that by dealing directly with the cruise line, they cut out the expense of a middleman. But when it comes to cruising, this is never the case. The cruise lines depend on travel agents to sell their product, and so it is the cruise lines who pay the agent's commission, not the customer. The lines also offer agents various extra incentives, bonus commissions and value-added perks, giving the travel agents more pricing leverage and the ability for us to offer you lower rates: There are many superb and well-trained travel agents, but there are not many who know as much as we do about river cruising.
