We hopped on this cruise as a last minute addition to a 3 month holiday in Europe. Our cruise was at the end of a busy season with low water in the rivers. We were lucky to be able to do the entire trip cruising. We could not have asked for a better experience. The crew were amazing, the boat was beautifully fitted out and kept immaculate, so much food at a fabulous standard and the on board ...
We chose this cruise as we had to cancel it three years ago due to Covid. From the moment we took our cases to the boat early the staff were fantastic. We were given an update to our room on arrival (better position in the boat). The food was fantastic and the service throughout was above expectations. Our particular thanks must go to the best cruise director ever in Roland, he was always ...
We chose this holiday to celebrate a birthday. Although a little on the expensive side, it did include excursions, all meals, drinks at meal time, and transfers. The service was great and the food was particularly good. Although the portion sizes were quite small, because there were a few courses, you weren't left hungry. If you were still hungry, you could always ask for more and they would ...
Intro
This journey had been planned for 3 years but, due to COVID, was delayed from 2021 to 2023. I was travelling with my wife as well as another couple. Given the distance from our home in Australia, we added an extra week onto our travel before the commencement of the cruise in Amsterdam and spent 5 days in England as well as 2 days in Paris.

Booked as a result of late booking offer and something on our bucket list to do. No regrets whatsoever, apart from should have booked for 14 nights. Have put that right by booking 14 night cruise on the sister ship from Amsterdam to Budapest in September 22.
The Vega is brand new and was only on her 6th trip.
Had a top grade cabin and it couldn't have been better. Window drops to waist ...
We chose our 2 week river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Travelmarvel mainly from an economic point of view. My husband and I were travelling with my sister, and the single supplement for her on APT and Scenic was outrageous, and the single cabins were on the bottom deck at waterline. With Travelmarvel, my sister paid NO single supplement (she was not therefore eligible for free airfare, ...
I wanted a 2 week or longer river cruise holiday. Something that I would say after the holiday, wow that was great. I am so very happy that I went on this cruise! I am back home and I still keep in touch with a staff member. I love that I have kept in contact with them. We never really had enough time to explore the departure city, we did go on a few tours when Wie disembarked the cruise but I can ...
We chose this trip because the Budapest/Amsterdam river cruise was a bucket list item and this particular cruise was advertised in our local paper at a considerable discount. Travel Marvel is not regarded as a luxury line but we certainly had no complaints about anything on this ship. Our tour departed from Budapest on 30 April and arrived in Amsterdam on 14 May.
We arrived in Budapest two days ...
Travelmarvel did a great job from start to finish. The Jewel is small but elegant. The whole crew is superbly trained and the desire to please the guests is obvious in everything that they do. The food was first class and the wine plentiful, and good! The cabins are small but perfectly functional. Plenty of storage space for two people.
Big thank you to our cabin stewardess, Julia, and our ...
Having done a number of ocean cruises, we wanted to put a toe in the water with river cruising. Our UK travel agent Iglu Cruise suggested that we try the Rhine and Main cruise as a sensible platform entry. Wow! we were not disappointed. From early on it was apparent that Travelmarvel/APT were a very well organised company. As UK residents we had not come across APT before. If all travel/tour ...
