The #1 reason for a five star rating is the staff/crew. Every single person who I interacted with, everyone who had any role at all in creating this experience was not just good at their job, they were also always warm, friendly, ready to help, at the same time efficient and talented! From morning to night, each and every one was a day brightener! They went above and beyond my expectations. The cabins were comfortable and cared for. Housekeeping was excellent-The food? Absolutely 5 star and beyond! ( Seriously, I have never eaten so well, day after day!) The bikes were great, as was the process of getting the bike to head out and returning after the ride. The crew took care of everything! The routes we rode were beautiful and easy to navigate, except for one route that took us on a busy highway without a designated bike lane. Ideally that would never be part of a route; stressful and dangerous. I am sharing this amazing experience with anyone who asks; I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thanks and kudos to each and every person who created this amazing adventure!!

Great food, with good service at meals. The bar staff was friendly, though I liked the beer selection more on other boats. Very helpful front desk as well. Funny and informative tour director in Jurgen. I really enjoyed the concert in Vienna and wine tasting excursions as well as the bike tour in Belgrade. The bike rides were beautiful and wondrous!

The boat was charming, the stops for bike riding the scenery was spectacular and staff worked very hard to make it a great trip.

Wonderful crew! Extremely well organized! Well thought out route to cover the fact that it is a “there and back” trip on the river. You got to bike and see the parts of the Danube on the way back that you slept through on the way down. The only thing they could improve is the coffee :)

What a wonderful experience the Danube bike barge excursion was. Very well organized, and just the right mix of culture and activity. Couldn’t recommend it more!

It was a great mix of culture and biking. Well thought out and executed.

The trip was stunningly beautiful and well planned. The trails and ports were varied and unique. The vessel, the crew, the accommodations and the food were all exceptional. I gave it 4 stars because I didn’t feel “prepared” to venture onto the trails each morning. The app wasn’t working for my husband and I am not tech-savvy enough to trust just an app to get me from point A to B. The trails are well-marked once you have done a couple days of them and understand what you are looking for. That wasn’t taught clearly from the beginning. Also, it was hard to gauge how much time I had along the trail to “sightsee” because I couldn’t judge the time it would take to finish and get to the boat. Although our cruise director had much knowledge and entertaining stories and humor, his ability to “teach” us each morning and instill confidence was a bit lacking. Also, I think there is potential for a lot more activities on board both before and after dinner. I think people would get out of their “shells” or cliques a bit more if there were some organized games or activities offered. But that’s just my opinion. I’m sure lots of people were fine just lounging around.

Good for a traveling solo female. Staff, food, activities AWESOME!! It was a common consensus that the Interim Cruise Director was condescending to the passengers.

Good food, fun cycling routes on well maintained bikes, staff welcoming and friendly and cabins clean and comfortable. Only downside is the difficulty in getting to and from Passau.

friendly crew and great service. clean and all very nice. the food on the boat was very good. lovely breakfasts and evening meals. a good mix of cycling and travelling on the boat. it was a lovely week
