Sail Date: Nov 2014

This is a small river ship. On our cruise it was staffed, 2 staff for every passenger. The operator Belmond is running the ship like the Four Seasns hotel. They just knows how to say yes to passengers requests. We asked to open the gym early, to walk back from a tour, for special meals, etc. The answer was always yes! For example: When returning from a tour they collected and wash your shoes. The food was unbelievable good. It was carefully prepared and there was a large enough selection. We stopped in little villages which seemed have not seen many tourist. My knees are not great, walking down hill can be challenging, but always there was a staff to lend a should to make my down hill journeys save. Our room was large enough with two large windows from which we could watch our journey down the river.

Cabin Review

Three minor room issues with our room: 1) it took time to get hot water, 2) the toilet needed to be flushed for a longer then normal time, 3) the placement to the TV was to close to the bed, we keep turning it on just by walking next to it. These were all minor issues.
