Review summary

I really enjoyed this cruise. Easy on easy off for all excursions, well organized. The entertainment quality & variety was very enjoyable. The staff catered to all our needs. I liked the quality & variety of foods. I wish I could have eaten more. The ship/river historian supplied us with a copious amount of information, he was much appreciated.

We traveled through 8 dams via the lock system, including the 2nd highest lock in the world. You couldn't feel boat movement while cruising. The geology of this area is spectacular.
