Highlights of The Danube Cruise Review

“My expectations were high, having heard many good things about this cruise, but what I experienced was an exceptional quality of service with great attention to detail. The excursions were of much greater value than those I experienced on Ocean cruise ships, and all the tour guides spoke English beautifully and were obviously highly educated. I would do another cruise with APT anytime. Thank you to all concerned on the ship for making this trip memorable.”
