Always wanted to sail the Danube and visit old European cities not available to us during the cold war days. Big history buff so this was perfect for us, Loved the itenary and the added trip to the Czech republic. Loved the service and by the second day the whole crew knew us by name. Stayed pre-cruise at a five star hotel that was excellent and the staff there was also great. Side tours also were excellent. Embarkation and disembarkation was easy and well executed. We would definiely go again but first we would like to take river cruises in other parts of Europe and we are going to try Viking ocean cruises as well.Dining was very good and the food was excellent. The chef came out and talked to us about a reciepe we were interested in. Our waiters were also excellent and very and knew the menu that was presented and made excellent recommendations
