We did our 1st River Cruise and it won't be the last. Awesome cruise from start to finish. The staff knew your name before the cruise ended. The food was amazing, and the chef will make you special food for those with allergies or lactose free. Every region you are in, the menu, wine and beer will change. The optional tours are well worth the money. Strauss Concert in Vienna was simply AMAZING. The cruise director surprised us in Budapest with a nighttime cruise to see the lights. Very breathtaking. If you're looking for a river cruise, look no further than the Grand European. You will not be disappointed. The sites from Amsterdam to Budapest are amazing. The castles and churches are beautiful. If you have never been through locks, well this is the cruise for you. You'll go through 65 locks with the deepest at 85'.

The cabin was very clean and roomy. The staff surprised us with a 41st Anniversary surprise on our bed (champagne, chocolates and swans made out of towels).
