The relaxing Sun Deck features a heated pool as well as a swim-up bar, while the vibrant Main Lounge provides an exhilarating stage for nightly performances. Enjoy an evening dining experience like no other at The Chef's Table, where rustic wooden floors, contemporary lighting and a glass-enclosed kitchen combine to form the stunning backdrop for your gastronomic entertainment. And with a walking track on the Sun Deck, a fitness room and a fleet of onboard bicycles, you will have everything needed to stay active and healthy while sailing Europe's great rivers.

The ship was comfortable and quickly felt like home . The Crew was exceptionalCONS
There were noneRECOMMENDED
YesI have traveled to Europe with friends and family. I have stayed in hotels and AirB&B’s. This trip was well planned and so enjoyable. First of all the room on board was very comfortable and allowed me to unpack and go. The view from my room was beautiful as we motored down river. The staff was exceptional. The service was perfect. And the Cruise Director was available to keep us on time for all activities. The meals were delicious, and any special request was met with wonderful results.

PROS
Immaculate ship, nice itinerary, good pre and post add ons, excellent service, great foodCONS
We had to dock several times next to other ships already docked which made getting on shore cumbersome with the going in and out and up and down on the ship already there especially since we had wet weather several of the daysRECOMMENDED
YesReally enjoyed the trip. A plus was only 82 passengers on the 156 passenger ship. It was just as we expected, morning tour of town with some free time if the port allowed. Enjoyed the special palace tour in Grein and the Octoberfest. The majority of the guides were knowledgeable and personable. The decor was attractive, the staff exceptional and the food yummy and plentiful. We liked the special treatment for our 50th anniversary and a birthday and the gifts given to all passengers. Special condos to Uew who helped arrange mobility service at the airports after I fell at the end of the trip and was having difficulty getting around. He was a special asset through the whole trip!

Some people complained of language difficulties but i believe that is to be expected in foreign lands. Just takes a little more patience and communication on our part.RECOMMENDED

Not sure I have any negatives on this.RECOMMENDED
No<div>I do feel that the bathroom floors should be tiled in a rough tile as it was very slick and i worried about others slipping on the floor. The service was amazing, the staff and cruisers were friendly, entertainment and food was great!!!!</div>

The ship was clean, nice guests,great managers-very helpful and knowledgeableCONS
Don’t like buffets, a few of restaurant staff weren’t accommodating too many walking toursRECOMMENDED
YesI like to be waited on at meals while on vaca. If I asked for something waiter would tell me it was on buffet basically to go get it myself, most wait staff nice some not team players, I expected mor gourmet meals, need better choice of wine and other alcohol. Due to an accident we had cab take us to port but there was no boat there. No one contacted us to say there would be a problem. Fortunately all worked out. Too many walking tours. Prefer more hands on activities.
