“Loved everything about this boat. However it’s a boat so remember that the rooms are small. I was traveling with my teenage daughter and two giant suitcases so it was cramped but still well worth it. Super comfy bed and a fantastic shower”

“The staff was very friendly and accommodating! They are full of information and recommendations also. I wish we spent a could more days. It was close enough for us to drag luggage from train station and right across from the science museum.”
