    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.

    The New Year in Holland and the Romantic Rhine (port to port) was a lovely cruise. My husband and I were very happy with the staff, the cruise itself and the places we visited. It was relaxing and informative. The food was wonderful and varied and well presented. We did not have to do anything, the staff greeted us on arrival and took our bags to the cabin, and took our bags to the taxi on departure. We had a great time.
