  Our tour of Turkyie was exceptional. Well organised with great drivers and super tour guides. We explored so much or the country’s history and culture. We were impressed with all aspects of the tour.

  1st time cruiser of any sort and can't wait to do a second! Our Amadeus Star Rhine River Cruise was incredible. The boat was like a 4 star hotel in every way. White linen service for every meal. The suite was spectacular - and the showers amazing:) The staff was polite and generous. The views were breathtaking. What was most surprising was that it seemed like we had the river to ourselves and had it not been for the need to slow down for locks and docking we would have never known we were on a ship. Another pleasant surprise was the ability to do your own thing. We didn't feel like we had to be somewhere or do something because we were part of a group. Often times we choose to take the bikes (both standard and ebikes - the electric assist was a godsend for the ride through the Rhine's vertical vineyards.) to go exploring on our own. But in a few cases - we choose to do the arranged tours which brought us to sites which would have been a bit more inaccessible (and we would have missed seeing) or see the sites in a bigger city like Cologne in a short amount of time. The cruise director was so accommodating -we were able to signup (and in one case cancel) once on board which I was concerned about because we had booked the trip last minute. The audio assist headsets were great to hear the guide without having to crowd around a person to hear. In port - I was able to eyeball several competitors ships and thought that the Amadeus Star's suites, dining areas and brightwork above deck was superior to its competitors. Our suite was bright and airy with large with expansive windows, a sliding glass door and a small balcony . A walk-in closet, coffee/refrigerator nook and seating area to take in the sunshine and sites made this a very unexpected pleasure - as I had heard about the small quarters on cruise ships that made me leery about sailing. Another pleasant surprise was the diversity of the guests. We shared our adventure with a group from Japan, another from Germany, and of course - the Canadians (who lived up to their reputation of friendliness and "adopted" those of us who were traveling solo - including someone from Austrailia) The ages ranged from about 40 to sprite 90 year olds - although the majority were in our age group (60s) I highly recommend this cruise and the Amadeus ships!

  It's every bit of luxury without the price tag of some better known names. You have your own and very comfortable sailing hotel and dining rooms, great food, with the ability to sightsee at different places every day. The choice is between self guided or group tours. In hindsight, I would have probably done the sightseeing by myself.

  Beautiful ship with an excellent crew and service. The food was delicious and presented elegantly. Entertainment was sparse but what they had was enjoyable. Dinner takes 2-3 hours sometimes so it can be rather late. Tours are what is expected. Some better than others but all are an additional charge. I would highly recommend and plan to book again.

  The boat was clean and well set up and the staff were super friendly! It was stated that this was an English and a German cruise which was great. Our room was so week set up, lots of storage and the drop down window was a great feature. The room was bigger than a lot of hotel rooms we have stayed at. The food was varied and good and wine and beer are included with lunch and dinner. We did the smaller package tour added on that was one a day. Unfortunately a couple were cut short and very rushed due to time constraints. I guess this happens on river cruises. Great experience overall!
