Review summary

The most important think about our cruise was all the new places we visited. The small towns, the local people and all the historic places we visited were astonishing, and our guides were so informative we learned so much.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The only thing I can say about the staff is that they were impeckable. After the first day they knew our name and exsactly =what er liked.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship always clean and ready for us no matter where we were or what we were doing. The bed pillows could have beed a litter firmer, and the towels could use a little more fabric softner, otherwise there was nothing else to improve upon.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Small but efficient, room for everything we brought and we brought 4 suitcases of clothing etc. Very comfortable and the A/C worked fine. Out steward was efficient, courtioues, and took care of us like we were family.

Ship tip

The ship was so easy top travel, very compact but with plenty of room to move about. The Acqua Vive terrace was a must for light lunch, afternoon snacks and just enjoying the sites as we sailed. We passed many other river cruise lines while sailing, but very few had this open air terrace.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

5 out of 5

The comment is for all the ports we visited. Each and every port was fabulously in itself and the tours both included and optional were great and very informative, but if it were possible, more time should have been available to explore on our own as well.Also, maybe the optional tours should have included more sites and visited more places in each port. Perhaps offered as an "extended Optional" tour.
