What she's like
'The on-board languages are German and English.' Programs, menus and announcements in both; German-owned line.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
All drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic (premium drinks extra); gratuities (savings rate); Starlink Wi-Fi access in public areas and cabins (whether free not published).
Children welcome but no daycare or kids' entertainment.
Casual; Captain's Cocktail and Gala Dinner at start and end of voyage where elegant dress is recommended.
