We wanted to cover a lot of territory efficiently and this cruise did that with 3 countries and 6 cities. The excursions were very well done and we enjoyed on board lectures as well as great service. The decor is in good taste and the food selections were varied and of high quality. We also enjoyed meeting other passengers with similar interests.
I also appreciated the efficiency of embarkation and disembarkation. There were no long lines and the staff seemed genuinely concerned about the passengers.
Every conceivable amenity was provided such as hot towels upon return from an excursion. We enjoyed the cultural lectures each day before the particular ports. I also liked the credentials of the presenters such as an Art Historian from the University of Chicago. The excursions offered lots of choice which was helpful given people's varied prior experience in these cities.
