Never been to Europe. Took two cruises One from Budapest to Amsterdam then went to Paris for Paris out to Normandy and back to Paris. Each ship had great crews, the excursions were wonderful, food and service just spectacular. It was a trip of a lifetime. I was espescially impressed with Nuremburg WWII for the Budapest to Amsterdam trip. Then for the Paris trip, Normandy and the beaches (Omaha especially) were inspirational. The US cemetary will be in my memory forever. Then the other places for the excursions such as Monets home and the village. Then Paris and the sights seen both before and after the cruise were spectacular. Napoleons home, the versailles and so many other things all packed into just a short time. I feel like it could not have been better.

On the Budapesat to Amsterdam cruise, there were so many great sights and excufrsions. The Sound of Music day was wonderful as was he time spent in Vienna, Austria. So many of the areas are in my memory, but I have trouble remembering how to spell the area properly. On each ship the program director, Caitlyn O'Dowd(the Mirmar) and the Rolf Lionel were both great at the job they did.
