Peter Deilmann Cruises

[vacationaddict]

My husband and I have booked a Peter Deilmann Cruises in Sept. We are leaving from Munich. Anyone use this river cruise line. What did you think of it?

I haven't cruised with Deilmann, but this press release may be reassuring:

"Deilmann Cruises received the highest rating for its food and destinations and the second highest rating for service of any cruise line in the latest readers' survey by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. In the publication's 2002 Gold List of the World's Best Cruise Lines, Deilmann outscored every large and small ship cruise line with its 95.5% rating for food and achieved the same 95.5% rating for service. In destinations, readers gave Deilmann a perfect score of 100% for the second time."

Theodore w. Scull, a cruise-guide author and cruise editor of the late TRAVEL HOLIDAY Magazine, has a review of a Deilmann Danube cruise online. Scull is one of the most knowledgeable cruising and maritime writers around, and I'd put my faith in his judgment any day:

We took a 7 day Deilman cruise in 2001. If you would like to read our story e-mail me at highlandpark@mindspring.com. We took a vantage cruise the following year, and ewere very happy with that company.
