Staff efficient and friendly and very knowledgeable

All the staff ,without exception, were really friendly and helpful
The tours were well organised with excellent guides.
Food was lovely and local wines exceptional
Much to see and do

Food very Good.
Jacuzzi needs after the quiz. MUCH more regular cleaning.
Staff extremely helpful and kind.

Entertainment did not altogether match the age group, very loud, it emptied loung quite often

Everything was fantastic Organisation was first class, food amazing, staff wonderful and the entertainment with Noel & Sophia and cruise director brilliant
The excursions were good and can’t fault anything but one wee thing the fitness room was not brilliant Tried the machines but they didn’t seem to work with no instructions.we will definitely be travelling with you again and recommend to all my friends 👍

We had booked an Owner’s suite & were surprised that they was no stocking of free soft drinks in the fridge, not even water ( which was €2.60 a bottle when it was around 80 cents outside).
It transpired that Travelmarvel are a budget version of APT, which we were completely unaware of.
The staff were superb. On times, some of the included trips were a bit underwhelming & in the first week the food was not always great, but it did improve in the second week.
Overall, I enjoyed the trip as I was going to places I hadn’t been to before.
The entertainment that Sophia put on was really good.
Just a bit disappointed that we didn’t know that this was a “budget” cruise.

We booked the Reflections of the Rockies and Alaska Cruise with APT Tours which we would recommend. There were many highlights to our holiday particularly on the Canadian part helped by our tour guide, Meghan who was brilliant. Everything was well explained and any questions were dealt with quickly and professionally. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and that our itinerary throughout the journey was the best it could be. Well done Meghan.
The Rocky Mountaineer lived up to our expectations where the staff were very knowledgeable, entertaining and professional.
Our cruise to Alaska, was superb. Travel Marvel reps were again very professional and friendly.
We have not stopped talking about our Canada / Alaska holiday since returning home.

Great crew and service personnel.
Nice way of getting people to mix by free choice of tables for dining. Also random selection of bus choice on trips ashore.

Lovely boat, great staff and all round super holiday experience.

Accommodation, service from staff, food and the people we met.

Excellent service ,Sophia and James were especially helpful.

Balkans cruise on the Danube. The positives include the lovely modern ship, the excellent, friendly, efficient and helpful crew and staff from all areas of the ship and the quality/presentation/quantity of the food which all came together to ensure we had a lovely holiday.
On the other hand the negatives include APT admin/organisation (pre boarding) and the disaster of an experience in the transfer from Bucarest to the ship, which had already left the port before we had any hope of getting to it.
However, overall this was a great holiday and yes, we would travel APT Travelmarvel again

We were the only English couple on the River cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. This was a surprise but we thoroughly enjoyed the company and relaxed nature of the mainly Austrailian Guests. Cruise Director was very knowledgeable and worked exceedingly hard to see that all guests had a great time. Food was amongst the best I have experienced on a cruise holiday and We are both looking forward to our next APT cruise.

Excellent and clear pre-cruise information received. Travel arrangements precise and carried out to the letter. Ship modern and very user friendly. Food excellent fine dining. Excursions well planned and very informative. The necessity to change ships after 7 days through water shortage in the Danube was carried out efficiently and as advised. Very little impact on the cruise programme

Lovely ship. Nice cabin. Good food and wine. Well organised trips

Great 👍 wonderful experience

The wonderful staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the included excursions were very good. This will certainly not be my last holiday with APT TravelMarvel.

The tour was put together extremely well.
The trip through the Rockies was a great experience with an excellent tour manager and lovely hosts on the Rocky Mountaineer.
However, the tour was let down for me by the Holland American cruise ship as I have dietary requirements that were not catered for. Despite the fact that they had been notified beforehand.
The cabin was odd as to look out of the windows you had to kneel on the bed, not to mention the light switches on the headboards!

Interested places to visit. Good food. Good companions.

Three star rating as overall it was ok but no better than that. Cabin was noisy at night due to being sited under the air con main units and ear plugs were necessary. This is despite it being supposedly only second to the two 'owners suites' and was worse than cheaper alternatives. Food was ok but not up to previous trips with APT. Daily excursions were in much larger groups than on previous cruises and in some cases the time was poorly used. EG. in Salamanca (2 hours in a bus) then hang around for another hour waiting for a local guide to whizz us round in a group of 30+. The promised tour of Porto turned out to be just a coach ride round the city without actually stopping at any attractions. Without wishing to sound too 'sniffy' about this it all felt a bit downmarket bearing in mind the price paid. My advice to future travellers is don't pay the extra money for cabin 324 and book your own guides for Salamanca and Porto.

The ship was lovely, the evening entertainment was good. The food and service were excellent. Our cruise director was well informed and helpful.
On a minus side and petty there was no plug in the bathroom basin which causes a waste of water. Also the coach trips on this cruise were overly long which of course this is because the excursions were not on the riverside as in the Amsterdam to Budapest cruise.
No co-ordination between guides so often the same story on the next day trip.
Cycles available were great but it would help to have knowledge of local cycle routes.
