Austria Cruises

Food was excellent, cabin was a reasonable size ports of call were good. We hope to try another river cruise with Fred and would recommend the Brabant to friends and family

Staff were very polite and helpful. Food was very nice and of a good quality

Holiday sacrificed to get the boat into the canal system, allowing Fred Olsen future cruises to be possible.

There were problems caused by a change of flights by Fred Olsen which at one time I was invoiced £200. At one stage we were flying from Manchester and returning to Heathrow !!. We also received 16 ATTOL certificates which made us very unsure of why and was there changes that we didn’t know about !!.

this takes longer than one minute as designated

The cabin was very clean and comfortable and we were looked after very well. The restaurant staff were particularly helpful as my wife has food intolerances. The food generally was very good. We particularly liked the open dining. Unfortunately the itinerary had to be changed due to water levels further up the Danube which was unfortunate. Having been used to Fred Olsen's ocean cruises we were disappointed by the lack of activities on the boat. The few there were, i.e. Shuffleboard was spoiled by the staff not knowing the rules. The evening entertainment, two quizzes and a bingo that descended into a farce, were not to the usual Fred Olsen standard. The other evening entertainment consisted of the same singer every night. We did meet up with some delightful people which made our holiday, but otherwise we were slightly disappointed.

The weather was wet for most days, there was lack of outdoor space the sun deck was closed because of low bridges. There was no where to walk! The cruise director was inept and his AV equipment never seemed to work properly

A good river cruise. All resturant staff were amazing especially dealing with my dietary needs ( lactose free) .The cabin was very comfortable. The entertainments & entertainment director were disappointing. The duo singing every evening were very good as were the umpapa players but quizzes very poor. ( Apparently the same quizzes every week - not good for those who did back to back cruises) We could have done with more variety

Delightful Crew and staff let down by very poor Cruise Director and Entertainment Manager

Food very good; staff excellent; the ship's captain ..a living legend.
