Repeat Guests Comments

A sampling from the comments of Guests who chose to return to experience a different route on their favourite “River Yacht”… with our appreciation.


We are always hesitant to 'revisit' a perfect vacation, but this was wonderful! The food was outstanding - as usual. Great attention was paid to setting each table differently. Dean was especially kind to do a few cooking demos for us - we learned valuable tips to employ at home. Very attentive to any food requests we had. All in all a wonderful repeat experience. The first time out we didn't know what to expect, it was a 'Wow.' The repeat was 'Wow Wow!'

C.L. party, Kansas City, Sept 2006


We've slept on silk sheets at the Four Seasons in New York. Paid a king's ransom for dinner at Phillip Starke's ultra-trendy restaurant in Hong Kong's Peninsula Hotel. Sailed the Virgin Islands aboard a 50-foot luxury sailboat. And generally eaten and drunk our way around the world via a series of four and five star interludes that have left our waistlines bulging and our wallets depleted.
but nothing in our past experience adequately prepared my wife and I, and two other equally-well-traveled couples, for the six idyllic days we recently spent aboard the River Yacht, Roi Soleil.
The food was sublime.
The service was flawless.
The accommodations were awesome.
The scenery was breathtaking.
And the memories we carried back to our land-locked homes in Kansas City were the stuff to last a lifetime.

Every day a new experience, each better than the last. Thank you Karen, Dean, Finnegan, & Guillaume for your care and kindness .. great food, wonderful wine, beautiful scenery … You are each extraordinary and we look forward to our third voyage on the Roi Soleil!
Fondly,

It is always a treat to watch a crew with leadership, great standards, effective working relationships and concern for their “customers”. The six of us have benefited in many ways and you created an experience we will always remember. May the wind always be at your back, the sun in your face, and a special hand on your shoulders.

Cruising is "lovelier the second time around" !
We love Provence and especially Guillaume and the whole crew - Louisa for the T.L.C. ! Finnegan for safe cruises (the straight and narrow !) Phil for great calories and fusion - Thank you all for the great tour and we'll see you again soon !

It’s said to be better the second time around … and you have proved it this year! Again …

Great Food

We look forward to seeing some of you in the U.S. in the near future so we can return some of what we received.
Thanks again … until we meet again.
