The river cruise over the Christmas period exceeded our expectations. A beautiful, well-maintained ship, a spacious cabin, good food and, last but not least, a very friendly and courteous crew. The excursion program on offer was also very informative, even if it was tightly timed. Conclusion: gladly again! Special thanks to TOURRADAR for the good support in the run-up to the trip. You really went to a lot of trouble.

  May you kindly indicate how New Year's Eve will be celebrated please? 1. Which place we will be in. 2. Special dinner will be celebrated on the boat? 3. Fireworks are seen from the boat or we have to go somewhere on land? 3. Can we go on the upper deck to see the fireworks? I am asking this as primarily I am interested in this while enjoying New Year dinner and fireworks from the boat
- DCS TouristikOperator•Written June 2025
  For NY we will dock in Antwerp and you will be able to see the fireworks from the sun deck. We will have a festive NY dinner instead captains dinner on the last day, followed by a nice music evening with our board musician and a midnight snack later on.
