Review summary

Grand European River Cruise...from Budapest to Amsterdam...17 days...a perfect balance of river cruising, church and castle enrichment, fabulous food and drink tasting, and overall seeing the heart of Europe. Danube, Main, connecting canal, and the Rhine Rivers...all in one cruise. Highly Recommended!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Flawless...even when accounting for a change in location due to low river condition in Budapest!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The best chef and wait servers! Food choices are awesome...from standard fare to local cultural favorites from each country visited.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Walk on the top deck track. Listen to the duo singers/piano player in the lounge nightly. Watch the UNESCO castles as we leisurely boated down the Rhine.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The onboard duo singers/piano player are exceptionally talented and song styles ranged from opera to jazz to rock to country & western and everything in between. Local opera singers on-board were equally talented. Loved the glass-blower, his story, and demonstrations.

Children's Programs

No children allowed on-board.
