    A wonderful 4 nights/5days aboard La Boheme. The staff were excellent and the food was very good. Well organised, will start planning our next cruise with them.

    The river cruise was an excellent way to visit Vienna and Budapest on a tight schedule, and to visit other less known places like Melk, Dürnstein and Esztergom. The crew of the Mona Lisa were always eager to please us, and we found the cabins, bar and restaurant very pleasant. Even though the majority of the passengers were French, the cruise crew always gave the instructions also in English. All in all, great experience!

    A high value cruise down three rivers and a canal with stunning views and exquisite weather. So much fun, entertainment and sheer pleasure. So well organised with a multitude of onshore activities and onboard relaxation. Scrumptious food and bottomless drinks. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and courteous. This is a must do.
