    Our first riverboat experience after a number of ocean cruises and it will not be out last. The boat is small and intimate.....we only had 14 out of a possible 34 passengers and had wonderful service by the staff. The floor to ceiling windows in all the suites gave a wonderful view from our room and while docked. The indoor and outdoor viewing areas were comfortable. Staff were attentive. The food was great and the local beer and liquor was complementary the entire day and were quite adequate for cocktails. The tour director Mark and tour leader Mel were fantastic
