Comments
The long layovers in Dublin invite you to take extended city tours. The city centre can be reached on foot in about half an hour to 45 minutes.
Normally, one or two evenings are spent enjoying Irish folk music and Irish stew in a typical Irish pub. During the day, there is plenty of time to visit the many sights, such as Dublin Centre, Leinster House and City Hall.
In Rotterdam, embarkation is assisted by a taxi service that takes passengers to the ship and provides competent support during embarkation (subject to a charge of approximately €60 per trip for embarkation in ports close to the city).

- Good afternoon, Ms Weber,
I just wanted to get in touch again before the holidays – we returned from Cork to Rotterdam around midday on Saturday. The trip was a truly wonderful experience all round – I can wholeheartedly recommend it. The crew and the atmosphere on board were very friendly – we felt welcomed as part of the crew. As expected at this time of year, the seas in the North Atlantic were quite rough and did cause us to jump out of bed once or twice during the...

Although I’ve long since returned to my daily routine after a wonderful trip, I’d finally like to give you some feedback. First and foremost: the service provided by your travel agency is truly excellent; at every stage of the process – which was clearly well outside my area of experience – I felt very well looked after and supported. This was also true of the two staff members I was in contact with. As a result, the trip ultimately lived up to the...

I’ve now been back home for 10 days and wanted to let you know how my trip went, before my wife and I set off for Croatia in four days’ time for an eight-week holiday in our motorhome.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for your professional assistance. You were always willing to listen to my many questions.
Everything went smoothly: the journey by train, the booking at the recommended ‘Port’ hotel, and the taxi service to and from the ship was also...

- Hello everyone!
Sorry for only getting in touch now. The trip on the cargo ship was lovely. We arrived at Eurogate at 7 am on 28 October and then back at CTT at around 10 am. We stayed in Hamburg for one more night after that. On the 16th, we boarded at around 4 pm and cast off the next day at 1.30 pm. We didn’t reach the NOK until the evening and, unfortunately, didn’t see any of it; by the time we were on our return journey, it was already dark again. The first stop in Estonia was...

General: First of all, many thanks to Pfeiffer Agency for the detailed preparations and briefing documents, and to Ms. Pfeiffer and Ms. Weber for fine-tuning the trip. It’s very helpful to know exactly what to expect, what to pack, and, of course, what to look forward to.

I found the way your company organised the trip to be very friendly, efficient and straightforward. In my view, the information provided was clear, easily accessible and
comprehensive for further planning. The arrangements regarding the ETA and shuttle booking were handled promptly and without any complications.
The journey from Bremen to Rotterdam also went...
