5.00A lovely experience with our little family! The staff is so caring and always helpful! We went on the cruise with our 8-month old baby and I had been nervous beforehand but it was fine! They helped to look after her so we could have an uninterrupted dinner, and provided a cot and a highchair for us! (The cot was a bit low for her but we made it work.) This is definitely a cruise aimed at people wanting to relax, less about adventure, which suited us in this era of our lives with the baby. Lots of food provided throughout the cruise. Great communication on the days leading up to the cruise and good service from the driver and guide picking us up slightly outside the official pickup areas and all (which was greatly appreciated due to the extra bags and pram needed for the baby!!)
Extremely friendly staff...

5.00Really fun and relaxing. Especially sitting looking out over the water at night. Excellent food and drink. Luxurious cabin accommodation. Andy was a wonderful guide and managed everything well. The bus ride is long but that can’t be helped and the bus is comfortable enough.
