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.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another journey in the future.

A wonderful voyage around the Aegean Sea
The ms Caledonian Sky is such an elegant and comfortable ship to travel on combined with a brilliant itinerary - such interesting and enjoyable excursions. The ship's personnel provided a first class service, nothing was too much trouble. Likewise the tour director and his assistant. In particular it was so pleasant to enjoy our meals on the outer deck in the balmy Mediterranean weather. A memorable holiday, we'd not hesitate to 'Travel Marvel' again!

A nice trip
We were pleased with our cabin, the staff were very nice and the included trips were excellent however we were shocked by the prices of the optional trips. We love APT because everything is included and we have had amazing trips with them but now Travelmarvel seems to be the only option with in Europe. With APT there were several options each day and you choose which one you want, all the drinks were included and all the tips were included. You know where you are. This is preferable.

The ship was great
The ship was great - cabin extremely spacious and comfortable, food excellent without exception. Crew couldn't have been more helpful.
The itinerary, although it had to be changed due to weather, was relaxed, with plenty of down time for exploring and swimming, as well as enjoyable and informative tours. (Ephesus was very busy, and maybe a bit rushed, but I would guess that's always the case).
Only slight quibble was the amount of machinery noise in our cabin when the ship was entering harbour, usually in the early morning. We were towards the stern on the lower deck, I don't think other cabins were as affected.
We'd recommend the company and the cruise.

Travel disappointment
The itinerary was great and the other passengers were friendly and great fun. However the travel arrangements were horrendous. The pre cruise departure place and times were changed after we had paid and so we had to book an overnight hotel at Heathrow at (exorbitant prices) and check in at the ridiculous time of 4.30 am. Due to stopovers the travel from Heathrow to Zagreb took 10 hours for what we understand is about a 2 hour direct flight from our local airport (Luton). We arrived exhausted and, not a little, angry, and too tired to enjoy our first evening on board. The return travel home was only marginally better.

We are very sorry to hear that the travel arrangements caused such frustration and exhaustion.

Noisey Aussies…
The trip was 80% full of very noisey Australians who came into dinner in the same sweaty clothes that they had been wearing all day. The acoustics in the dinning room because of the low ceiling was so bad that we had to shout to have a conversation. Being a vegetarian , the food was appaling concidering the cost of the cruise. There was a bar b q day with nothing but meat and when asked the head waiter just shrugged. We wont be using Travelmarvel again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that aspects of your cruise fell below expectations, particularly the dining-room noise levels, fellow guest behaviour, and the quality and availability of vegetarian options. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and we fully understand your disappointment.
Your comments on the dining-room acoustics and on-board atmosphere are especially helpful, as they allow us to review how these environments are managed on future sailings. We are equally concerned to hear that your vegetarian meals did not meet the standard you expected, and that the BBQ offering lacked appropriate alternatives. This should not have happened, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
We’d really value the opportunity to look into your experience in more detail. If you would be willing, please email us at Info@aptouring.co.uk with your booking reference and any further information. This will allow our Customer Relations team to investigate fully and ensure your feedback is actioned by the relevant on-board and operations teams.
Thank you again for your honesty, it helps us improve the experience for all future guests.

I enjoyed the cruise of the Greek islands. The ship looked a bit tired but the atmosphere, the guests and the food were enjoyable. Think in future the company needs to make sure the ground agents are aware of the type of guests e.g. probably seniors and adapt.

It’s lovely to know you enjoyed the Greek islands as well as the atmosphere, fellow travellers and dining on board. Caledonian Sky offers a relaxed, small-ship style of cruising with a classic style, and guest observations about ambience and condition help us shape future plans.
Your comment on ground services is appreciated. Small-ship journeys often include varied ports, access points and local conditions, and working closely with partners to remain adaptable supports a smooth experience for everyone.
We’re delighted the voyage was enjoyable overall and hope the islands remain a favourite memory.

Exceeded expectations all round
After sailing in many much bigger cruise ships, I knew we were in for a different experience and my expectations were only moderate. However, the whole experience exceeded this significantly. The ship was petite but had all we needed. Dining outside on the deck was wonderful, all staff were great and the inclusions were much better than expected. An intimate and memorable trip.

Pros and cons
Pros.
Great food, staff and stop offs.
Cons.
No hot water in cabin for first 4 days
We could not regulate the air conditioning. It was always on extra cold, leaving both of us with sore. Horse throats and a bad chest of which we are both still suffering from.

Réponse de Travelmarvel Premium Cruise and Tours
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s encouraging to read that the food, crew and ports were highlights, as these elements shape the enjoyment of a small-ship voyage.
Practical experiences on board matter as well. Points about cabin facilities and air conditioning will be investigated with our local team, as comfort plays an important role over several days at sea. Feedback of this kind helps focus attention where improvements bring the most benefit.
We’re pleased the stops and service stood out, and hope future travel brings more of the same positive moments.

A lovely holiday that provided a great introduction to Greece
We particularly enjoyed the land portion of the trip on the Greek mainland. We visited some amazing ancient sites and cities. The food and hotels we stayed in were excellent. Our guide and driver were also excellent.
We then joined our ship Caledonian Sky and really enjoyed this section of our trip which we found more relaxing. The crew were very friendly and attentive. The food was all first class and freshly prepared. The visit to the various islands were great, particularly because the smaller ship was able to dock at most places. Ephesis was a real highlight of this part of the tour. Another highlight was the evenings entertainment provided by crew members. They were a very talented group and their singing was very enjoyable. A surprising but lovely end to our cruise.
