Great staff and organisation
Great staff and organisation. Bernadette the cruise director was brilliant.
Only downside was the poor tv reception. Very few channels and intermittent reception.
McGearys “Irish” bar wasn’t great….no atmosphere and no Guinness…!!!
Otherwise a brilliant holiday and experience.

Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable holiday and that Bernadette and the rest of the team helped make your experience so memorable.
We also appreciate your feedback on the TV reception and McGeary's Bar. As our river cruises often travel through more remote areas, reception can occasionally be affected, though we understand this can still be disappointing. Your comments about the onboard venue have also been noted and will be shared with the relevant team.
Thank you for travelling with Travelmarvel, and we hope to welcome you back on board again soon.

First Class
From start to finish TravelMarvel had everything covered.
We stayed an extra day at the start of the cruise in a hotel chosen by TM - very nice and great location.
The cruise itself exceeded our expectations in every way from the service by the ship staff to the standard organised trips - we couldn’t have asked for more
Thank you TM - now waiting for our next cruise.

This I believe was our 14th river cruise with Travel Marvel APT and our second this year, they always provide excellent service which is why we will book two for next year to. Our Cruise Director Bernadette was superb and all the crew managed our ship transfer due to low water perfectly. The staff on both the Polaris and Vega on which we travelled did their utmost to provide anything we asked for. Local guides were so knowledgeable and the excursions great.

We're delighted Bernadette and the crews on both Polaris and Vega helped ensure your journey remained seamless despite the low water conditions. It's also wonderful to hear you enjoyed the excursions and the expertise of our local guides. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone involved.
We look forward to welcoming you back on board for your next two adventures.

Lovely ship, great staff
We started our journey in Budapest on Travelmarvel Vega. The ship was lovely, modern and air-conditioned. The staff on board were brilliant and very hard working.
At Passau we had to change ship to Travelmarvel Polaris which was identical to Vega and the staff were equally efficient. The change over day(due to water levels) was a long day by coach but very well handled.
We travelled in the middle of a heatwave which made some of the excursions a bit of a challenge and we didn't get the full experience due to having to stay out of the sun (but nothing Travelmarvel could do about the weather).
Our cruise director Bernadett was very knowledgeable and managed a full ship very well - the slight criticism would be, when giving briefings, she gave too much information and everyone "Switched off". She did go "above and beyond" to try and get a World Cup match broadcast in McGeary's - bringing her personal laptop and connecting it to the TV.
The food was brilliant and it was great to have the alternative of McGeary's for a less formal meal.
The excursions were good with the exception of the one I paid for, Schloss Hof. I, and a number of other guests I spoke to, were under the impression that we would be seeing a demonstration along the lines of the Spanish Riding School - not two horses trotting round the arena - one being ridden and one lead on the rein. This was supposed to be the highlight of my trip but was very disappointing. We had also been rushed around the castle with no time to have a good look round. A very misleading excursion.
Another disappointment was finding out that we were docking in Zaandam instead of Amsterdam, making exploring Amsterdam more difficult - especially as we wanted to do our own thing.
Another slight annoyance was the fact that once away from the Danube the top sundeck was not able to be used due to the low bridges. This was not made clear in the itinerary.
Internet connection on board, although good most of the time, could be patchy when going through the mountains.
All in all, we had a wonderful cruise with fantastic food, staff, ship and locations and would not hesitate to use Travelmarvel in the future and recommend to friends.

Terrible room experience on Princess Eleganza
We recently returned from a weeks cruise between Dubrovnik and Opatija. The cruise itself was pleasant and the food and onboard crew were excellent. Our issues was that we upgraded our room from a porthole room to room 18 which was above water with windows with views.
This was a £1000 upgrade, so imagine our surprise when our room and bed was smaller than the porthole rooms all of our travel friends were in! This along with the fact that the blinds on the windows were permanently closed and broken (so no view) the air conditioning was faulty continuously switching off through the night and to top it off our room was continuously filled with diesel fumes that cause my wife and I headaches most days.
All this was reported to the crew, the blinds were repaired but continued to break, whilst the air conditioning and diesel fumes continued for the week.
I did fill in a form for customer services to contact me but so far no contact.

Enjoyable time on our Croatian Yacht Cruise
Overall, our cruise was a most enjoyable experience. It took a little time for us to settle in as we are river cruise people and used to the ultra luxury of these. The yacht cruise does not and cannot provide that sort of luxury so the food and drink is far less sophisticated although our cabin was nicer. Our cruise director, Ana, was wonderful and the small crew did a great job. We loved the Croatian islands and the people, and the relaxing cruising experience, once we had accepted it for what it was, plus the Aussies on the cruise were great fun.

Thank you for sharing your experience of your Croatian Yacht Cruise. We're delighted to hear that, once settled into the more relaxed style of yacht cruising, you were able to enjoy the beauty of the Croatian islands, the welcoming locals and the unique atmosphere of this journey.
It’s wonderful to know Ana and the crew helped create such a memorable experience. Yacht cruising offers a very different way to explore, with a more intimate setting and the chance to reach smaller ports and hidden corners that larger vessels cannot access.
Thank you for choosing Travelmarvel, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future.

South africa
We have been on a couple of river cruises with travelmarvel and had an excellent time so having booked a South African tour for this year we were disappointed when the tour was cancelled however Jon called and talked us through an alternative tour. He was very patient and took his time to answer all my questions. He showed empathy, understanding and excellent customer service. We are confident our upcoming tour will be as good and as well organised as our previous tours have been

River Cruising with Lost Baggage
This should have been a 5 Star review of our APT Travelmarvel River Cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam except for one crucial factor - KLM lost BOTH our hold bags while travelling to Budapest. The situation was complicated by the bags needing to "chase" the ship docking frequently along the trip. We were left with minimal clothes until we received just one bag nine days later.
The Cruise Director was aware of the situation and in contact with KLM with minimal feedback. In retrospect, we should have pushed harder over this period, expecting the problem would be easily resolved, but eventually decided we needed to ask the company to give the matter much higher priority.
In fairness to APT, the company response was to escalate pressure on KLM, resulting in one bag eventually being delivered on board (the second bag had a longer holiday than ourselves, sent to our home a week after we returned!).
Now to the positives. We supplemented our travelling clothes with extra purchases during the missing period, and the laundry gave us express cleaning service without charge. The ship's crew could not have been faulted in terms of friendliness and standards of service.
APT is an Australian company, and we received warm support from both crew and passengers for our situation. Despite our tribulations, we were determined to enjoy ourselves, and would recommend the company to future travelers.
P.S. One recommendation we received (and have acted upon) is to buy AirTags to travel within the baggage. This may be a two-edged sword, as you know where the bags are, but the problem remains as to how they might be delivered!

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review of your river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. We’re delighted to hear that, aside from the travel disruption, you found the cruise itself to be of a five-star standard and that the ship’s crew, laundry service, and overall onboard experience met your expectations.
We’re genuinely sorry for the distress and inconvenience caused by the loss of your luggage while travelling with KLM. We fully understand how challenging this situation was, particularly given the nature of a river cruise itinerary with frequent port changes. While airline baggage handling sits outside of our direct control, we appreciate your acknowledgement of our team’s efforts to escalate the matter and support you until one bag was delivered on board and the other returned home.
It’s especially reassuring to hear that the warmth and support shown by our crew and fellow guests helped you make the most of your journey despite the circumstances. Your practical suggestion regarding the use of AirTags is also appreciated and will certainly resonate with other travellers.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for travelling with APT Travelmarvel. Should you wish to discuss your experience further or share any additional feedback, our Guest Services team can be reached at Info@aptouring.co.uk.
