    The staff were fabulous, great locations, nice food. The only thing that marred a perfect trip was the laundry onboard losing my $180 dress.

    This is a wonderful tour on a beautiful ship. The staff are all so accomodating and friendly it’s like you’ve known them for years. The food is excellent as are the accomodations. The sights to be seen are utterly magical and beautiful. Do yourself a favour and take this cruise. It’s wonderful.

    · December 17th, 2019
    The cabins were nice, the staff were very good, the food was delicious, the tours were interesting, and the Cruise Director, in particular, was excellent. Would not recommend going as a single traveller, however, as vast majority were couples or friends travelling together, so it was quite cliquey with the same people sitting together at meals, especially dinner. Plus, it was 90% Australians and Kiwis, and a broader mix of nationalities would have made it more interesting. The best part was seeing all of the various cities and towns along the rivers. Very nice trip overall.
