'This was our first river cruise and after detailed research we were both delighted with our choice of Riviera and the Danube cruise. The facilities on board were excellent, all staff were superb (extremely efficient, friendly and definitely service with a smile) and the food was wonderful. The excursions were well thought out and we thoroughly enjoyed them all especially Salzburg and Budapest.'
