I'm really pleased that my review has been so well received. I did feel a responsibility to fully examine, document and report our experiences - good, bad or indifferent, in a very honest manner.

It appears that so many want to give river cruising a try at some point. I encourage those who wish to do so to give it a try. We've been continually spoiled by the stellar Regent experience, making a change a very hard thing to do. Branching out is sometimes taking a risk. In our case, the plunge into river cruising was a delightful and favorable change. Nice to know we have so many terrific options from which to choose.

Pam, We were docked in Giverny on June 9. The Monet House/Gardens/Lily Pond were sights to behold!

Peter, I think river cruising with friends would be delightful.
