Ms Becky and I were joined by her parents, Ray and Norma Peugh, on this Grand Circle Travel cruise of "Europe's Great Rivers". We added the 3 day pre-trip extension in Vienna, which was a great choice, cruised on the Danube, Main, and Rhine rivers for 15 days, and departed from Amsterdam.
We very much enjoyed this Grand Circle Travel experience and highly recommend the cruise. The River Airia's on-board accommodations, food, and crew were excellent. We recommend the Vienna to Amsterdam direction, as the small and lovely towns on the Danube are to be savored while you are travel fresh and eager to explore. Even the weather seemed to favor our cruise, as we had only a very few days with drizzle and the temperature was either a slight bit warm to quite comfortable.
