The staff were amazing and so welcoming. The weather was perfect, the lunch delicious and the whole cruise experience was perfect. We really enjoyed finding out about the history of the regions. Would recommending the big red boat 10/10

We had an amazing experience on the cruise! The food was delicious, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming throughout the trip, and everything was very well organized. One of the best parts was the kids’ play area where children could watch movies or play with toys, which kept them happily entertained. The captain was also very kind and friendly — he even allowed us to sit and take photos with him, which made the experience extra special. The guides shared the history beautifully and made the journey both enjoyable and informative. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a memorable cruise experience!

I appreciated the smoothness of the whole cruise. Not just the water, but the way everything flowed, a well oiled machine. Staff (family) were so full of knowledge, and passionate about it. The boat was beautiful. And the sights? WOW....
