Completely DISAGREE with Safari111! Just returned from a week on this trip. Ship was awful, way overpriced for the experience. Think floating "Marigold Hotel." (Without the joys and humor of Judi Dench and Maggie Smith.) So disappointing on so many levels. There is a reason why there is not much feedback anywhere on the internet about this cruise. IF you are looking for tiny poorly built and poorly maintained cabins, thin walls so you are serenaded by your neighbor's snoring and toilet flushing, mediocre and overly spicy food, viewing marginal temples, sad villages, and experiencing elephants being abused, then you might want to go. Tigers???? HA!!!! Practically a myth there....

Exorbitant rates and large tips expected, since they don't pay the hard working staff much. The co-owner "manager" has no experience running an operation like this, and oddly doubles as the masseuse and manicurist on board, charging western prices. Strongly suggest you WAIT for a truly professionally managed excursion like you mentioned run by Uniworld.

Wow, thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't want to visit anywhere that abused elephants. That sucks it was so horrible.

I'm seriously thinking about booking the Best of Paris , Seine river and Normandy cruise. Love the itinerary. Just have to get the hubby on board.
