We chose this cruise line on recommendation of our Travel Agent, did research and selected the Serena based on good reviews. We are so glad we did. The ship is beautiful, meals fantastic, well prepared and served by a wonderful waitstaff. John the tour guide/leader was very good and attentive. The entertainment offered on board dovetailed with the location we were in (string trio in Vienna, "Oktoberfest" in Germany). Wines served at lunch and dinner were regional as were food selections.

The tour guides in each city or town were excellent. A special highlight for us was Alex in Passau Germany. He was originally from Hong Kong, parents moved to Germany to open a Chinese restaurant and his love of his home was infectious! The guides were all very knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot! Also the various options every day were fantastic, hikes, walks, specialty food tours and always free time to shop and explore. A notable excursion is the all day to Salzburg. We highly recommend. It is a lovely town and worth the 2 hour bus ride!! Seeing places where the Sound of Music was filmed was a special treat.

All in all we have nothing but good things to highlight. We highly recommend Melodies of the Danube aboard the Serena!!

Cabin Review

Stateroom with French balcony and outside balcony

We liked our room however we did not like tying up to other ships so often. We were unable to use our balcony and felt as if we were too close to our neighbors (could actually see inside cabins in other ship!). Wish there was a way not to do this so often. This really was our main complaint.
