My expectations were far exceeded. The boat was lovely, the food was wonderful and the staff was attentive! A shout out to Christine our cruise director/coordinator. Our excursions were great and with wonderful, intelligent, passionate tour guides. My only concern was that sometimes dinner runs later, need more then crackers in the lounge. During our free time in Venice, we would stock up on snacks and bring back. All drinks included in price. I am already thinking of planning another trip through Tourradar and CroisiEurope! River cruising is the only way to see Venice. Consider it a floating hotel, seeing parts of Venice that most tourist don't see.Show more

I am new to cruise and this one exceeded my expectations on every possible level but one stands out - food and wine! As a foodie, I was amazed what chefs have been able to create for us and catering to vegetarian meal requirement was not a problem at all. The wines were also exquisite and I loved every single one. The choice of optional excursions is great and the staff is lovely. The ship was docked about 10 minutes away from the Venice city centre so it was very convenient. I loved the whole experience and I can recommend it to everyone, even if you are a cruise first-timer or not a fan at all. Show more
