The ship was fine, the staff wonderfullly attentive. However when bikes malfunctioned and a virus went through the boat – no one took responsibility for those issues. They also need to have the trail on GPS so people don’t get lost.

Enjoyed the boat and the riding was great with beautiful scenery. The food was also excellent.

This was our 4th bike/barge trip and this was our largest boat. The ship was comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Meals were first class–quality and quantity. Low water levels limited biking some days unfortunately, which can’t be blamed on the tour company, but efforts were made to find replacement tours. The route maps and written instructions could be more clear but the navigating challenge adds to the fun.

Great crew, amazing food, super polite staff. Cruise director needs to be more organized and exercise more tact and patience. Ship needs to declare and delineate more clearly, the role of the cruise director, as she often fielded questions which should had been addressed by the captain. Not a good communicator.

This trip was very enjoyable and certainly met our expectations. Bikes were good and the food was good. The scenery is beautiful. Two suggestions are: 1. Include mileage markings on the maps to assist cyclists. 2. Signage or better directions should be provided for getting back to the ship, specifically in Vienna.

Really enjoyed the biking and towns we visited. Would have liked more time in towns. Food on board was great. Biggest dissapointment Vienna. Best city Budapest.

Efficient, effective, and good value. Your was excellent.

We enjoyed the biking portion tremendously. However, here are suggestions for improvement: 1. Have a water station available at all times for filling bike bottles. We had to ask the bar tender every time we wanted our bike bottles filled. It was a waste of his time and our time. 2. Have buffet styled meals rather than formal service because the seating is too crowded for the waiters to serve the food and it makes for a very long and agonizing process. Dinners usually took around 2 hours to complete. It’s simply too cramped for formal dinners. 3. Ditch the entertainment. It’s a bike and barge, not a cruise ship. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Albert was very helpful and fun to be around. I loved his blue shoes. We were on the Carissima and had a wonderful trip. I will recommend it to my biking friends in Hawaii.

good but could be better
