Railway journey out not great courier unaware of my problem with escalators although I had informed Great Rail Ahead. Brussels Midi became a nightmare. Ship was great love the standard of the Amedaus Staff meals etc. There was conflict between information from ship and tour manager. the walking tours were too tiring for us both duration and amount of standing. No time for proper breaks during these tours. Guides consistently underestimated the time that they would take. Tour to Luxembourg on a Sunday was very problematic!!! Places were very interesting would have loved much more time in Trier with a good map by ourselves.

This I think was a first trip on the Moselle for Great Rail. It requires a little refining by removing Zell and extending stays in Cohen and Rudesheim. Visits to both those places deserve to be longer as they have many attractions whilst Zell has practically none. The local guides aspects needs reviewing and I would strongly suggest offering a guide experience that only gives a very brief account of each attraction. For myself and many others there was simply extensive information overload not even allowing enough time for a coffee or indeed the toilet. I know some are interested in hearing all the detail but this was a minority. For most of us too much standing about having to listen to detailed history which is impossible to retain and indeed spoils the actual visit. Overall, however, this was a most enjoyable holiday experience and food and service on the Amadeus Brilliant was absolutely superb. Food the best I have experienced from undertaking about ten river cruises of which all have been good. So on this ship the food was of an exceptionally high standard. Great Rail guides both for travelling and on ship were excellent. A very high standard as always and all involved to be thanked and congratulated. Hugh.

We met our manager at St Pancras station She took us all the way to the ship We had two managers on board who looked after all our needs The ship was lovely and comfortable The food was the best we have ever had on any cruise The staff were all very good looking after my wife’s gluten and dairy free requests Every day we had an inclusive tour we didn’t like the early departure but it meant the city was not crowded and not too hot We had very little free time but this just meant we packed a lot in We thoroughly enjoyed the trip except one very crowded train We are now leaving olongapo to bring the k another trip in the near future just got to decide which one

The Magic of the Moselle and Rhine did not take place due to low water, but the substituted Medieval Germany Cruise on the Amedeus Silver iii, put together in just a few days was superb. The cabin, even on the lower deck, was luxurious and very well appointed. The staff were most attentive particularly in the dining room silver service. Attempting to travel from St Pancras to Nurenberg in one day needed an extra day and an overnight stay. Great Rail Journeys are to be congratulated
