“It was a wonderful trip along the Danube. A very large and beautiful ship, with plenty of free space. The staff was polite, and the drinks were delicious. Thank you! We were very satisfied and had a lot of pleasant impressions. The only thing that surprised us a little was that the ship was not at the pier indicated on the map and in the address. Please pay attention to this! The ship was docked at a different nearby pier, behind another ship, and it was not visible. We had to search for it, call the staff, and clarify the situation, and we almost missed the departure because of this...…”
