Enchanting Danube was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend Uniworld! When they say all inclusive, that is what they mean. All of the excursions were fantastic and it was hard to choose what to do. We were also given extra time in several cities to explore and/or revisit places we wanted to see. The ship was very luxurious. I upgraded from a classic room to a French Balcony which had a bigger window that opened all the way. It was nice to have a better view. The staff was attentive and personable. The hotel manager greeted everyone by their name by the second morning. The room was well appointed and most importantly the bed was super comfortable. We added a Progressive dinner where we got to see different parts of the ship and talk with the staff that works there while enjoying wine and different parts of our meal. That was a fantastic experience. The transfers were easy and efficient. All in all a wonderful trip that I would highly recommend!Show more

This was our first river cruise and everything went beyond our expectation. Services: the staff were accommodating and helpful. Tours: various excursions to choose from for different age group and they were well-organized. Ship: beautiful boutique-design ship. The only cons is a slow Wifi connection but it ain't a big deal. There were so many onboard activity that kept us entertaining. I noticed that the cruise operates in eco-friendly manner, i.e. they eliminates sing-use plastic. That's a big plus!!!!Show more
