Not suitable for non German speaking!!
We booked Alva Rose Douro Valley cruise with Hays Travel and was not advised this cruise is predominantly catered for German speaking guests. We were the only two UK guests on board. Senior management on board were very surprised that we had not been informed that this is always predominantly a German cruise. We felt we were totally disadvantaged. All announcements and excursions were very lengthy and in depth description in German followed by a few words in English. On one occasion, our tour guide admitted there was not enough time for any English explanation. We felt totally isolated during the whole cruise. Holidays are usually about talking to and making friendships with fellow guests and this was impossible. Be warned if booking in UK.
