Excellent staff: always very polite & attentive and smart uniforms. They made us feel very welcome & valued. Excellent ship management and very happy atmosphere.

Comment , Canada
It's very well designed and very comfortable. The cabins are good sized and in room facilities are excellent.
Great food and a nice variety. The only thing I would recommend is that you offer tea & coffee after the evening meal when serving desert.
The staff are very friendly, helpful, polite and very well-dressed. Nothing is too much trouble. Brilliant staff.
Visit to the villages are fascinating and provide a good insight into the life of the ordinary people.
