We have just had a wonderful week on the Peter Deilmann ms Mozart. We booked because of Alan Titchmarsh being aboard and really enjoyed meeting him and listening to his talks. The organisation of this cruise was exceptional and the ship was lovely with the biggest cabin we have ever been in on a river cruiser. The meals had plenty of choice and the dining room was spotless as was our cabin and the rest of the ship. The crew were very pleasant and did all they could to make the week go smoothly. All the excursions went very well and we thought they were good value. The included ones were very informative. As I previously said Cruise.co.uk organised the booking for us quite well but the only niggle we would have was the fact that on booking we asked if it would be possible to book our own flights (with Air Miles) and still take the transfer to Passau. We were told this was not possible. We would have paid separately for this if necessary. Whilst on the cruise we discovered that some people had actually done this and would query why we were told different.
Apart from this one niggle, we had a lovely cruise and would certainly book on the Mozart again.

Onboard Activities
Enjoyed the library - nice to have somewhere to get away from it all besides your cabin on a ship- therefore this was the only niggle here as other ships have the library at the rear of the ship but the Mozart's is in the centre with no door and therefore gets many people just walking in disturbing people reading quietly. This was the only niggle here though. Just our view!
Cabins
The cabin was lovely. Very clean bathroom and very large for a river cruiser.
The only niggle here was the TV could have done with being a touch larger!
Most luxury river cruisers now have large plasmas on the wall. Not for everybody but with poor eyesight - excellent.
