    Rooms very small and bathroom tiny. No choice of meals. Loud announcements early each morning whether you were going on an excursion or not. No chance to sleep in if you wanted to. No advance notice of the final destination port until the day before the end consequently all the direct trains to Paris we're booked out. It cost is an €80 taxi fare.

    Gourmet meals , excellent service from a very efficient and friendly staff. Everything runs like clockwork. The boat travels at night leaving ample time for onshore excursions, though I must say that a couple of the excursions were disappointing. I would certainly travel with this company again.

    The crew worked very to make the trip as pleasant as possible and the chef did an amazing job. I think the land tours could be expanded to include more activity/walking. The tour guides were excellent. Idealy I would like to see more free time to explore a site. Perhaps a morning tour and an afternoon to explore. I found out last evening that 8 out of 20 participants from 1 US state came down with COVID just after the trip. I don't blame your organization and perhaps this is just a risk of group travel.

      Is it possible to disembark from the ship before 9 am, say 8.30? We need to get an early train because the later ones don't have any reservations left and we can't travel on them without a reservation.
