We have been on the Blue Danube, Savoring France, Rendezvous on the Siene, and the Rhine and Moselle. My wife would run alone most mornings and I would walk around the area when we were docked and we never felt unsafe. At most docking sites there are usually multiple ships. Depending on the cruise your time spent docked is variable. On the Blue Danube with the exception of Vienna, most docking location were very close to the c\ity centers. On the Savoring France all were adjacent to the city centers. Same with the Siene with the exception of La Havre which is commercial /industrial area and adjacent to the sea cruise port and a marina (which you can use as a 1.25 mile loop for a run. ) The Rhine tends to be the most industrial of the rivers. Nijmegen, Basel, Kolbenz, Amsterdam, and the Moselle docking areas were great. Karlshude was industrial but clean. We did not spend very much time docked on the Rhine ports during the Rhine Moselle cruise. We did spend two days tied up at Bernkastel and even went into town for dinner. Take time to get of the ship when docked in the morning or evening. Several time we were able to take bikes and ride along the river between the morning tour and the evening events/dinner/sailing.
