What our customers say...

“The staff on the Isla were absolutely fantastic! The waiters in the restaurant were excellent & the food was also excellent. All in all we had a lovely time & enjoyed all the facilities.” 03/07/2022 Rhine Gems – TUI Isla

“We've done loads of ocean and sea cruises so we decided to try a river cruise as a new experience. Result: we liked it! The itinerary was varied, the destinations were interesting and moorings were close enough to walk into all locations. Staff were very attentive; food was delicious, well-presented and varied. We liked it so much we have decided to book another one!” 17/06/2022 Diamonds on the Danube – TUI Maya

“A thoroughly enjoyable holiday, which we will definitely do again in the future. The ship was modern, not too big and adult only which makes it more relaxing. The all inclusive element was a bonus too. Lovely, helpful crew and nothing was too much trouble for them when needed.” 15/07/2022  Rhine Explorer 2 - TUI Maya
