Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: Veranda Stateroom

We cruised with another couple, with whom we are long time friends and cruisers. We hadn't done a river cruise, and this fit their work schedule, so, off we went.

The ship itself is very nice. It is well laid out, with a delightful indoor lounge and bar and adjoining outdoor terrace in the bow of deck 3, Below that, on deck 2, is the main dining room. On deck 2 midship is reception and a very limited store (don't count on getting anything other than a souvenir wearable there, although the cruise map for Euro 7 is very nice. There is always coffee, tea and cookies on deck 3 midship (except when it is breakfast pastry in the morning).

Our cabin was average sized and reasonably well equipped. The bath is quite small, with a shower stall, sink and toilet. There was adequate storage for my wife and I. We had a balcony cabin, with about a 2 sq. meter balcony, with two chairs and a small table.

Port Reviews

Amsterdam

Don't miss the Van Gogh Museum

Heidelberg

A delightful town. We decided not to take the tour of the castle (too strenuous for my wife), so a walk through town and lunch al fresco was wonderful. Most of our colleagues wished they had more time there after the conclusion of their walking tours.
