    Superb experience with professional crew and minute attention to detail. Service excellent and staff always friendly and willing to help. Cabin size more than comfortable and food/drink better than anticipated. As we were 1st time cruisers, we had some misgivings however these were quickly dispelled as we settled in to 'water magic'.

    This is the best river cruise we have had. The itinerary, staff, and organisation was excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and warm. We made some new, life-long friends. What a shame it had to end.
