Our only cruise, as we usually drive ourselves around Europe. We took their cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. I would give them high marks. Their guides are great. Food and drink was great. Only 190 guests on board, great! They got us upgraded air fare into London 2 weeks before their cruise and returning from Amsterdam at the end, great, as we made our way to Budapest independently .

Our only complaint was they use buses a lot to and from docking to the center of the towns and for excursions. By the end of the cruise, we caught Covid from the bus rides (we think) as we could hear coughing on the buss and the seats are closer than airplanes. We would take another of their cruise.

There’s a TV in your cabin which gives you tomorrow’s planned excursions. Every one on board, even their maids. speak English. Everyone is helpful.
