    »Wow, what a Firebird cruise... Absolutely brilliant – we were spoiled with music and excellent food. The staff were incredibly friendly and very friendly. The fantastic weather and calm seas definitely contributed to the experience too. The organisation was almost perfect, as were the interesting trips! It was our first time and we’ve already booked for next time. It’s a shame it only takes place every two years...«
