The 176-passenger MS Gérard Schmitter — named after the founder of French line CroisiEurope — puts an emphasis on casual fun over upscale indulgence, which translates into upbeat service and colorful interiors with pops of pink and purple throughout. MS Gérard Schmitter cruises the vineyard-flanked Rhine River, and the cuisine is traditional French while the staff is largely local — as are the guests.
