Traveler reviews
Alun Jones
★★★★★4 years agoBeautifully appointed throughout and also the best balcony cabins I've ever experienced. Crew could not have been more friendly and attentive. Food and drink of the highest standard - the rarest of things, a truly 'free' bar, including cocktails and champagne. Highly recommended.
Miguel Stoffel
★★★★★Edited 8 years agoStunningly beautiful ship, both in and outside, especially if you compare with the competition on the river. Actually, there's no comparison. Also (and this is important for me as a client) there's a crew area where you can see loads of space and commodities for them to use when not working. Nothing like the other ships sailing the same itinerary and sometimes for far more expensive prices. Strongly recommend them. Service is second to none, also.
