I cant speak highly enough of the tour my sister and I did in Sept 2025! The ship was perfect, with well appointed staterooms and great public spaces. The meals were truly gourmet, including wine pairings and scrumptious desserts. The company, including the other guests and the staff, was delightful (many of us guests exchanged contact info). What made the tour, however, was the biking. The weather was challenging with lots of rain, but Captain Coen and our guide Thomas worked together to modify the routes, add stops, and make sure that we still got to enjoy ourselves. My calendar is marked for the release of the 2027 tours!
