As this was our first river cruise we had nothing to compare it to but it exceeded our expectations. The staff were fantastic, all attentive, friendly and welcoming. Every stop along the Danube, Main and Rhine was wonderful. Well thought out and guided tours informative. Meals were excellent, not large portions but that meant one could have dessert at every meal, and if you wanted more....just ask!
Very comfortable, Scandinavian aesthetics and decor. I would recommend the balcony.
