We thoroughly enjoyed our European River Cruise. The service by all the cruise staff was exceptional The Cruise Director,Peter,was very professional. He was well organised, friendly, informative and approachable. He was only too willing to sort out any problems that we encountered.We had a port talk every night about what to expect the next day, and were always well informed about entertainment. This was varied and once again used local talent.

The one problem he did not forsee was that the Australian passengers had all paid their tips in advance. The other passengers had not done this, and at the end of each excursion would be very visible tipping the tour guide and bus driver.This made the Australian visitors feel miserly and embarrassed and some started to give extra, to save face. The drivers and tour guides were always knowledgeable about the tours they were leading. The communications with listening devices were excellent.

The European summer weather let us down, and many fellow passengers were also caught short by not bringing enough warm clothes as we were expecting warmer weather. However the warm welcome back to the boat after every excursion by the Hotel Manager and often also by the Captain(always with a warm or cold drink and moist towlette) made up for the wet cold conditions we often encountered.
