An evening cruise on the beautiful Danube is highly recommended! Enjoying the illuminated scenery from the water creates a unique atmosphere. It came with a first-class 3-course menu that was absolutely delicious—even if having lunch in the evening was a bit surprising, the service was attentive and relaxation was guaranteed. A thoroughly successful and unforgettable evening!

The food was very good. The ride was also pleasant. What was missing, in my opinion, was that during the ride there was no explanation of where we were or what there was to see on the left or right. Otherwise, everything was good, but as I said, a commentator was missing.

The food was good and delicious. We ordered fish and it was cooked beautifully. The waiters were very polite and brought everything we asked for. The only downside was that you couldn't see anything during the evening cruise, and we spent a long time stuck in the locks waiting for the water to rise to the required level, when we would have preferred to enjoy the views rather than looking at walls. Also, the musical accompaniment mentioned in the brochure was missing; we would have liked some live music.

The sightseeing tour was great; the seats were comfortable, and the waitstaff were friendly. I’d suggest improving the menu— the salmon and the ricotta-and-spinach strudel were excellent. The instructions for picking up the tickets could be improved, since you end up picking them up on the ship anyway.

The ship's crew is very friendly and professional, and the ship departs from the pier and arrives at its destinations on time. The decks and dining room are well-maintained and clean, and the food is delicious.
