This is actually for the Scenic Jasper and then the Jade. We had to boat swap because of low river levels. The only inconvenience was a 2 hour bus ride but it was handled perfectly by the crew. Service was second to none. Cathy, our cruise director was better than outstanding. Boundless energy and always a smile. The crews on both ships were excellent. Food was good - maybe not outstanding ...
Normally we are independent travellers and this was the first trip organised by someone else . We chose APT because of the rave reviews from others who had chosen this way to travel. It exceeded our expectations. From the chocolate on the pillow each night, the rose for each female at the captain's welcome, the fantastic train trip to Salzburg, etc it was the most incredible experience experience. ...
Hi Waiariki,
Thank you for taking the time to post such heartfelt feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed Salzburg, Namedy Castle and more.
We will pass your congratulations onto the...
We chose this particular itinerary as a "Bucket List"/ retirement trip. We did a pre-cruise extension in Vienna and a post-cruise extension in Romania. Our cruise manager, Christian Abker, made sure every detail was taken care of perfectly. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. The crew and staff were very professional, attentive and engaging. Our cabin was spacious, bright and very ...
Recomended by travel agent. The ship layout is great and easy to move around. The staff and crew could not be nicer. Our cabin was always clean and organized and we hardly ever show the person responsible for our room, which I think is a mark of excellence. Every meal was excellent and served in a timely manner. Our excursions were well planned and organized as well as interesting and enjoyable ...
Just finished my first river cruise and it was amazing! We did the Wine Cruise along the Danube with the most incredible stops along the way. My favorites being Durnstein and Krems in Austria. Our wine host onboard had amazing wines for us too! Another neat excursion AmaSerena provided was a day trip to a small town in the Czech Republic called Cresky Krumlov. Amazingly beautiful town!

We had already done one river cruise and enjoyed it so much discussion we decided on the Grand European Tour. It had many of the things we were interested in.
Although we arrive late in the afternoon and were tired from the long trip we did enjoy the harbour tour in Budapest for the lights of the city.
Arrival and embarkation was smooth even though some confusion arose because of the low ...
I have been on several ocean cruises but this was my first river cruise. My travel agent suggested the Avalon cruise to me as a great way to see a part of Europe. I have seen Europe before and recently spent time in Germany but this cruise gave me a whole new perspective of travel and seeing the sights. Land tours take you to the big cities and towns but river cruising gives you the opportunity ...
We decided to try a river cruise and selected this one because of the route (Budapest to Vilshofen/Munich) and good feedback we had heard about AMA Waterways. We were not disappointed! The crew and boat were fantastic. It offered a variety of shore excursions, including cycling, hiking and some special vineyard tours as it was a wine cruise. Clam Castle for example, was incredibly special, ...
The ship was modern and the crew was the best ever! Our balcony room 215 was the epitome of relaxation, lying in bed with the curtains and sliding glass doors open, gliding down the river complete with sounds of water. It was like a movie.
Our room was cleaned twice daily and the beds and blankets were unbelievably cozy.
There is so much storage space in the room, under the beds, in the ...
Several friends took this same cruise on the Romantic Danube months before; they just raved about how great it was; that we just had to go.
So glad we did! We heeded their great advice of arriving a day early and staying over an extra night! How relaxing!
In addition to all of the cruise members performing outstanding, Oliver, our cruise director, went way above and beyond to each and every ...
