A German tour company put together this video of the Century Diamond, which was launched in 2008. The text is in German, but it gives you an idea of how lovely this ship is.

Is there no chance of an extension on earlier trips in spring and summer? We would jump at this, and I know another couple who feel the same way! Would also enjoy the Sognefjord two day roundtrip from Bergen, were you to offer it!

Looking for more on Kiev (or "Kyiv," as it's sometimes spelled)? Fodor's doesn't have much to say on the city, as it's a new destination for western travelers, but Lonely Planet has some good information:

My husband and I hope to be able to go on one of Christmas river cruises one year. We went to these same towns during the summer a couple of years ago and it was simply beautiful. I can only imagine how nice it must be during the Christmas season!

I recently returned from the Holiday markets on the Rhine and Main river cruise. What an incredible way to begin the Christmas season. Everything that I had ever imagined an old world Christmas would be like became reality!
Almost more amazing was the fact that our river boat the Odyssey was hit by a barge two days before we were scheduled to ... See Moredepart. Vantage put us up in a hotel for the first night and after much scrambling made sure that we did not miss out on any part of the itinerary. If we had not known, we couldn't have told that our boat was a replacement or that anything had not gone as planned. I know the entire crew as well as the Program Managers really worked overtime to make this all possible. Kudos to all and thank you for kicking off my Christmas celebration in such a special way.

Ten very long hours of ear-ringing, trampled-on, stinky-smells, torture, and confinement. To the right of me in seat 29G, sat a woman holding her 14 month old “lap child,” to the left of me in seat 29D was another mother holding her 6 month old “lap child” with a child about four or five in seat 29C, next to her. Visualize this – four seats with three adults and three children. Shouldn’t this be illegal FAA?

Ms. VandeVelde, Thanks for the nice compliments about Tomislav and the Croatia program. Our Croatia trip is one that our customers consistently rate highly thanks to the efforts of Tomi and his dad, Jadranko, both of whom have been working with Vantage for years.
As to your flight arrangements, we do our best to see that our passengers get the ... See Moreseats they want, but sadly, we're always going to hear stories like yours now & then. I'd direct you to the following information on our customer service page:
http://www.vantagetravel.com/StaticPages/CustomerService/CS_FlightInfo.aspx#5
To make a long story short, the airlines have ultimate control over seating, and even with an assigned seat, we can't guarantee that passengers won't be seated near children. Anyone who's ever traveled has probably wished for a "mute" button for toddlers, but like death & taxes, occasionally getting stuck on a plane with a crying baby is a fact of life.
Thanks for your comments.
