We went on the Romantic Blue Danube, River Adagio Cruise (twin ship Aria) as our first river cruise and loved it! The experience far exceeded our expectations and we even made some new friends.

The program directors kept us informed regarding each destination’s activities but we were also free to go off script and visit any area in more depth. We were reminded that this was our vacation and we should choose what we wanted and enjoy it! It was easy to walk or catch public transportation from each stop making it possible to occasionally enjoy lunch at local restaurants after the tours.

There was great variety between the local guides and evening programs; all providing cultural and historical insight to the four countries visited. We would have missed all of this if we had travelled on our own.

We sough out restaurants in Prague and would recommend reservations at both Kuchyn, in Prague Castle district, and Zvonice, in a bell tower. Vienna was full of museums and we could have easily stayed another day. In Vienna we left the tour prior to entering St. Steven’s Cathedral and visited a coffeehouse. When we went back to the Cathedral mass was starting so we heard the organ playing! Wonderful.

The staff were lovely and generous. Their kindness and enthusiasm added to our experience without a doubt! Thank you Grand Circle for the first of many wonderful river cruises.

We booked and paid for a balcony room for October 25 2024 on the great river cruise
.1 week prior to departure the customer service called us and advised that they overbooked and was down grading our cabin to a window view.
We have written documents with a room number that we were assigned to from GCT
This is a CLASSIC Bate and Switch TATIC to fill the lower cabins
I was told there was nothing they can do. If we cancel we loose the $900 IN Trip insurance payment and give us the rest of the money in cruise credit with a time limit.
NO REFUND!!!!
They will not rebook us for the cruise in the spring time
This is not acceptable
BEWARE OF USING THIS COMPANY FOR A VACATION
