Modern boat with competent staff and excellent cuisine. Good balance with excursions and free time to relax and excellent value for money. Helpful and customer focused on board tour manager..

Cruise and the boat deserve five stars. Food superb. Excursions less so (two stars). Apart from Amsterdam the guides were not well prepared and appeared to have given little thought to what they should be saying and when they should say it. Why you should be suggesting the steam railway beggars belief. A complete waste of time when there was so much to enjoy in Amsterdam

A great holiday that was relaxing and informative. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was well served and of a very high standard. Our Cruise Manager worked really hard to ensure that everything went well without being pushy or overpowering. Everything ran to time and they even managed to give us good weather.

Great cruise but rail connections unsatisfactory. Departure times too late, too much wasted time during transits. One leg was downgraded to second class because of "overbooking"!

The trip was very well organised, the ship, its staff and the food were very good. We particularly liked the fact that shore excursions guides were grouped into four speeds, catering for the elderly as well as the predominantly fit middle-aged passengers. At no time did we find ourselves stressed on the slow walking tours. The scenery was beautiful for most of the trip. Thoroughly recommended! One small organisational detail: One reports to the GRJ office in St Pancras and is given a plan of its location but this relies on referring to a major store location. There are two such branches in St Pancras and the plan does not specify adequately which one. Additionally the GRJ office is only identified by a smallish portable sign several feet inside the office out of hours.
