River Aria sails itineraries on the Danube, as well as other Dutch and Belgian waterways. Launched in 2001, this 418-foot river vessel has four decks and can accommodate 164 passengers.

The ship has 82 nonsmoking cabins with river views. Serenade Deck cabins also have private balconies with floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass doors. All cabins are 160 square feet, including balconies when applicable. The cabins have immovable twin beds that convert to sofas, individual climate controls, radios, in-room safes and flat-screen TVs offering CNN, movies and a view from the bow camera.  Each cabin has a private bath with shower and hair dryer. Single supplement fees range from $42 to $50 per day.

Onboard features include a dining room with single open seating, a bar and lounge area and a sun deck.  There is a small fitness room with three workout machines. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship, including in cabins. There is an elevator.

Passengers tend to be Americans over 50. The majority are couples; the line says one in four passengers travel alone. (A roommate-matching service is available.) Guests are generally well traveled and many are repeat cruisers.

Escape from reality and delight all your senses.

Nothing overt though just enough to boost one's ego - we are talking fantasy here which every good trip should include.They gave us the impression they really liked us which is tough when you have to treat a new group every ten days or so.Read More
