Service and Staff

Felt they were perhaps understaffed at times. However, very friendly and attentive.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Beautiful ship. A shame the toilets were quite messy at times and people made a mess in the lifts.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
What we expect fits the budget perfectly.

Ship tip

Book entertainment/dining in advance.

Ports of call

Hamburg, Germany

3 out of 5
A mixed bag.The Church of St. Nicholas is well worth a visit. The Reeperbahm district was certainly an experience. Probably wouldn't visit Hamburg again.

Bruges

5 out of 5
Travelled on train from Blankenburge to Brugge for a speedrun around this magnificient city. Clean, vibrant and stunning. Only scratched the surface due to early recall time. Will be back 100%

Rotterdam, Netherlands

5 out of 5
Probably overlooked due to Amsterdam being a short journey away. Explored all around and enjoyed it for what it was. Did tour into Amsterdam and it was everything i thought it would be. Did the ice-bar which is a tourist trap. Bars are nice and you can get some idyllic pictures of the canals. Glad we didn't come on a weekend may have been too much going on. Mind the bikes!

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Took a long time. Organised chaos and a lot of pushing in.
