The crew was very kind and offered good service. The itinerary unfortunately changed because of the water level of the river. This changed days and times, unfortunately I missed meeting with a friend that lives in Salzburg in Linz. We had planned it ahead of time, she had made arrangements to go to Linz on the scheduled day which originally was going to be the last day but after the last minute changes became the first. I only found out when I arrived to board the ship. Instead we all hoy in a bus and after 2,5 hours found out what was going on. The one thing that Lueftner could improve is communication with passengers regarding changes and policies. The ship is very nice, it would be great to have hammocks on the top to enjoy the terrace.Show more

I evaluate only the ship and not arrival and departure and shore excursions. The trip far exceeded our expectations in the positive. The elegance of the ship Amadeus Riva, the spacious cabins, the tireless commitment of the "hotel director" and the omnipresent Mrs. Mercedes and the omnipresent Mrs. Mercedes for all conceivable concerns of the passengers and not least the always cordially turned and helpful service personnel in the cabins and dining and recreation rooms as well as the "invisible" but indispensable forces in kitchen, bakery and laundry together with the seamen who lend a hand all deserve our unrestricted recognition and our thanks for unforgettable hours on board. Our assessment is: Excellent, 5 stars.Show more
