    Well they were super nice, accommodating..It is just that the little things matter, that were missing: like have tap water available at lunch and dinner, the lack of signage in certain ports which made it confusing when other river boats were in port; the background musician at night who just played like a machine..But the wonderful things were the caring cruise director and staff, the food was very good and they accommodate special diets, the ports were great..All in all a good value for the money!

    Staff were good. Cabin on lower deck had mould in bathroom and wet carpet near the beds Changed cabins twice on same deck no improvement. No upgrade available ship full. Would never sail on MS Fidelio again and would not recommend. Cabins like these cause health problems and should not be sold to anyone. Very sub standard we felt unwell and coughed a lot when in these cabins. We couldn’t wait to get off.

      Can we bring alcohol on board for consumption in our cabin?

    • Crucemundo OperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, you may bring, but only for consumption in your cabin.

    • Crucemundo OperatorWritten June 2025

      As a general rule, passengers are welcome to enjoy alcoholic beverages in their cabins. We kindly ask that this is done in moderation, for personal consumption, and not in a way that might disturb other guests — for example, enjoying a bottle of wine during your stay is perfectly fine.

    Price / Availability
    • Crucemundo OperatorWritten May 2025

      All cabins are exterior and have a shower and toilet, satellite TV, hairdryer, safe, internal telephone. Single cabins are compact (about 12m2) and have small windows (Emerald deck) or French balcony (Diamond deck). Standard double cabins have an area of about 15m2 and have small windows (Emerald deck) or French balcony (Ruby and Diamond decks). Deluxe cabins are spacious rooms of about 23m2 and have a French balcony. The only Suite on the ship is a comfortable room of about 30m2 with a French balcony and full bathroom.

      Robert

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      Can I just clarify - single on Emerald at €1573 is already discounted? Does single mean there are 2 single beds in the cabin?

    • Crucemundo OperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, €1573 is already a discounted price. It means one single bed in a cabin. But if you want to share a cabin, you can reserve any double cabin and slightly move the beds apart. Please note that beds are separate, but there isn't much space in the cabin to move apart due to nights stands and etc.

    • R

      Robert

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      May I know the price for a double cabin on the diamond deck, for Sept 20 Also may i know why you are quoting me in euros, while your trip on Tourradar is quoted in USD?

    • Crucemundo OperatorWritten May 2025

      The total price for a Deluxe (double) cabin on Diamond deck is €3,506.00. The price would be around ~4000 USD. Crucemundo officially operates in EURO. Our partner TourRadar converts the price to the currency of the browser's IP address.

      Robert

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Can I just verify that it is a cabin with 2 single beds that can be separated?

    • Crucemundo OperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, there are two joined twin beds. You may slightly move them apart.
