The boat only has 68 cabins, and so the
dining room was able to accommodate
everyone in a single seating. Eating was fairly
regimented with a set dining time, and we
were all given allotted seats. At breakfast,
you were presented with the menus for
lunch and dinner and had to choose what
you wanted to eat from a choice of a meat,
fish and quasi-vegetarian dishes. The trip
was arranged through tour operator Page &
Moy, who have a selection of holidays that
are arranged specifically for members and
supporters of the National Trust, who also
benefit financially from the arrangement.
In the evenings there were several
lectures, covering such subjects as Baroque
architecture and Austria and the Hapsburgs.
The other alternative was watching a vintage
film on the television in your cabin. I don’t
usually think of taking a radio or CD player
with me as there is usually one accessible.
Unfortunately, this facility is not provided
in the cabins, although to compensate there
is a pianist playing background music in
the lounge.
This is definitely for people who want
a leisurely holiday, while at the same time
covering a lot of territory with the minimum
of effort.
Page & Moy features a wide programme of river and
ocean-going cruises, plus escorted tours – including
special interest breaks – and rail journeys in Europe
and worldwide.
