This was a good tour. The cruise itself was very enjoyable and everything ran exactly on schedule, which was much appreciated. The open seating meant it could be a little challenging to find the best spot if you boarded later, but there was ultimately enough space for everyone. They offered a wide variety of food options. We opted for the dinner buffet (€33 per person) and found it to be well worth the cost – the selection was extensive, and the fact that they had wine on tap was a definite plus! For a quicker bite in the morning, the fast pot stop was a better option.
