The staff was fantastic both in terms of their excellent service and their efficiency. If you needed any help with anything at all they would go out of their way to see that your needs or concerns were taken care of - our maid, Martina, didn't just clean and turn down our room, she brought my wife ice for her sore knee, extra pillows and just anything else we needed. She was by far the best at her job that we have ever encountered. The food was outstanding in terms of selection, taste and quality. It rivaled any five star restaurant that I have been at.

The ship and the rooms are well laid out and very upscale. We had a balcony but didn't use it much because of all the presentations, entertaining games and other places to sit and socialize with our fellow passengers while watching the outside views at the same time. They don't have amenities like a pool or a workout room but you wouldn't have time for on board exercise anyway because you spend so much time walking while touring the various historical, architectural and cultural sites in each of the cities you are visiting.

If you have an appreciation for great architecture, important historical sites and the cultures of other peoples, you will love this trip. Almost all the local people that we dealt with were polite, considerate, informative and very interesting. Sometimes complete strangers that we came across on our tours and walks would greet us in a friendly manner. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone planning a beautiful river cruise in Europe.
