non-smoking interiors
(Europe and Galapagos)
or smoking restricted to
specific areas (China
and Egypt). The crews
are English speaking.

than most other river
cruise vessels with
comfortable beds and
large windows to view
the passing scenery.
Meals are tailored to
North American tastes,
and in Europe coffee and
tea are available at no
extra charge throughout
the day.
