We wanted to see the interior or Europe and thought it would be great to do it via rivers. The ability to travel on water from Budapest to Amsterdam captured our imagination. Everything went exceptionally well. The ship was clean, fresh and modern. The crew were fun and always attentive. Half way into the cruise, we felt like we knew the staff. The program director was great fun and very informative. The food was great and we loved that it was inspired by the local cuisine. We loved the shore tours mostly. The cruise through the Wachau Valley was simply amazing. Our favorite village was the tour to Rothenburg--a charming medieval city on a hill with a wall still surrounding it. We only wished we had more time in each town and village we visited. The people in every country were extremely friendly. Perhaps the most moving was the special tour in Nuremberg. While distressing, it was very important to see what happened in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.

Loved traveling with our hotel!

We would do it again in a minute...in fact we will.
