She is entitled to an EHIC, which in turn means that within Europe she can be treated on the same terms as a local person. So something like a Rhine cruise might be possible, since the bulk of the cost of any medical treatment that she might need would probably be covered by the German health service.

Only for public health, if she is on a cruise ship the first treatment most likely will be on the boat itself which will be private healthcare.

Likewise if she needs a medivac either off the boat or from the country back to the UK then this wont be covered by EHIC. Its all well and good having treatment in a Greek hospital for free after a bad injury but you may not want to stay there 9 months until you are fit enough to travel by conventional flights -v- being stablised and then flown home to complete treatment here with your family around
