When we booked this cruise my husband and I we were expecting a week of pure indulgence and it didn't disappoint. The ship was very modern and although smallest in the fleet was very spacious. We had a balcony cabin and although the balcony was internal, you still had a lovely view of the river and if you wanted too, the window came down half way so you could lean on the rail and enjoy the fresh air. The bed and pillows were sooo comfortable and yes the pillows were soft, but all you needed to do was ask for another one if needed.

The size of the cabin was fine and more than enough storage space for your clothes with additional storage under the bed for suitcases. Some people have commented that the cabins were small, but remember, you only sleep in them. The food was excellent and was available in some form throughout the day ie early/late breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and evening snacks.Entertainment was very good and varied. The bar, where most people retired to on an evening was great.

We went on all the inclusive guided walks which was most, if not every day. The guides we walked with were very good and very knowledgeable about the town/city we were visiting. They gave you a good insight into the place so, if you wanted to explore in the afternoon, you could go back to any of the places that interested you. Read more
