European river cruise lines?
About three months ago, there was a thread in this newsgroup regarding this
subject. Three lines were mentioned: Viking, Uniworld, and Deilmann. IIRC the poster liked Viking best, but also liked the other two. A relative of my wife's recommended Vantage, although she had not personally cruised on it. Does anybody here have experience with Vantage? Thanks, Tom |

Does anybody here have experience with Vantage? Thanks, Tom We have only cruised on Vantage one time, just this past May. We took a cruise from Vienna to the Black Sea and Bucharest. It was 17 days, and we thought it was one of our best cruises. Excellent tours off ship, and excellent entertainment and meals on the ship. We had compared the same trip with Viking and Uniworld, and thought we would like the overall stops the best with Vantage. Will be happy to send you directly our recap of the trip if you reply to me directly. Joe in Texas |

I have one further question if anybody can help. At least a couple of the websites hinted at, but did not directly say, that they were looking for very old passengers. I don't think that my wife and I would feel comfortable on a ship where almost everybody is very old. Can anybody give me a general idea of the age ranges on the various cruise lines mentioned? Thanks, Tom |

Thanks, Tom I would imagine you would find all ages, but those on our Vantage Danube cruise were probably 90% retired individuals, amongst a total of 161 passengers. Just a guess, but the average age might have been around 65. The seating for meals was open, and we found everyone quite friendly and good trip companions. Joe |
