It was a very nice ride, but unfortunately you can't understand any of the information that is announced at the very top. Because there are no loudspeakers at the back. The prices on the ship are moderate and the staff are very friendly.

Really beautiful views, the staff on board were friendly and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, the trip was over far too quickly.
