We hopped on this cruise as a last minute addition to a 3 month holiday in Europe. Our cruise was at the end of a busy season with low water in the rivers. We were lucky to be able to do the entire trip cruising. We could not have asked for a better experience. The crew were amazing, the boat was beautifully fitted out and kept immaculate, so much food at a fabulous standard and the on board ...

We chose this cruise as we had to cancel it three years ago due to Covid. From the moment we took our cases to the boat early the staff were fantastic. We were given an update to our room on arrival (better position in the boat). The food was fantastic and the service throughout was above expectations. Our particular thanks must go to the best cruise director ever in Roland, he was always ...

An opportunity arose to go back to travel from Budapest to Amsterdam. We did it in the reverse with Avalon (2018) which we enjoyed. We thought we might see it differently. We did not expect to miss cities and towns altogether, due to low water levels we missed 2 nights in Budapest and 1 night in Regensburg. The general concensus was they should have put us up in a hotel (9 couples) for the 2 ...

Booked as a result of late booking offer and something on our bucket list to do. No regrets whatsoever, apart from should have booked for 14 nights. Have put that right by booking 14 night cruise on the sister ship from Amsterdam to Budapest in September 22. The Vega is brand new and was only on her 6th trip. Had a top grade cabin and it couldn't have been better. Window drops to waist ...

Please be aware that contrary to the written advice given before the cruise there are no covid prevention measures in place at Travelmarvel. This may be very important if you are vulnerable and have a compromised immune system. After following all the covid rules and guidance for two years, we have remained covid free until a two week cruise on the Vega. Since our return on the Friday, 6th May, ...

We chose our 2 week river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Travelmarvel mainly from an economic point of view. My husband and I were travelling with my sister, and the single supplement for her on APT and Scenic was outrageous, and the single cabins were on the bottom deck at waterline. With Travelmarvel, my sister paid NO single supplement (she was not therefore eligible for free airfare, ...

We normally drive around Europe but decided that a cruise would be nice and the Rhine river goes through a very pretty area of Germany. We were doing the two week trip from Amsterdam to Budapest. 15th October to 29th October. Due to low water levels however the Rhine is currently not navigable and so on the second day whilst still in Amsterdam we were advised that a lot of the trip would be by ...

Never tried river cruising before as previously Ocean and Sea cruises. Route looked like it would have good trips available. Started badly as we were not informed of river level problems until we arrived at Budapest airport, whilst majority of other guests were notified and offered alternatives 2 to 3 days earlier. Had to stay at 2 Hilton hotels in Budapest and Vienna and take coach to ...

We chose this trip from an Readers offers Ltd advertising literature it was supposed to be APT but we later found out that as Travelmarvel its the more budget arm of APT so you need to see APTs brochure to find out the difference.The cruise was not cheap at £6600 and that was supposed top be discounted. Glad we didnt pay full price.According to the write up we had from ROL all sightseeing ...

My husband and I recently travelled from Budapest. We explored Budapest on our own and joined the ship under our own steam. We spent an hour trying to find the boat, which was not where they explained it would be, and we were lucky to have a patient taxi driver who did endless u-turns and asked many questions of the locals to finally find it. Travel Marvel is at the cheaper end of the market, ...
