It is well worth doing. I particularly liked the way they broke the day up with sailing and onshore activities.

Fantastic day - we went for the premier deck and weren’t disappointed - the reclining chairs all with a perfect view through the large windows - the excellent buffet breakfast, lunch and drinks - the superb service from the crew - all were secondary compared to the amazing river views and overall experience. 100% recommended trip.
