recommended by friends.only disappointment was final journey to airport but we enjoyed all of the rest. of particular note was the service in general, which was excellent.i have a walking problem and the help from the crew and other passengers was good.the food was excellent, the service likewise. the tour director was good but advised me there were no steps on the beaujollais visit and i could not climb the chateau steps which had no hand rail.

at the final airport, marseilles, we were dropped at a bus terminal miles from the terminal, which did not help my walking problem.the shore excursions which my wife went on were good and she had plenty of time for shopping.we would certainly go again on a similar cruise with this line. the staff were very considerate and could not be faulted, especially our butler who was very attentive.we look forward to going again.
