Amsterdam to Europe Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because of the location. This was our 3rd cruise with Viking and we have always been satisfied. The food was not as good as it was the past 2 times. Also the service was not on point. We give them some slack because of the pandemic and the shortage of staff. However, we wanted to take an unscheduled trip to an area in Germany and the Captain “made it happen”! They ...

We booked this cruise via Leger(Shearings) as we had used Leger before and found them excellent. Their responsibility for us was to and from the ship and for excursions at visited ports. This they did with our 2 drivers being everything that we'd expect from Leger - funny, professional, attentive. Our arrival at MS Arena was received politely and efficiently even at a late hour. Snacks were ...

I am in my early 50’s. Have been lucky to travel extensively . Have done 6 ocean cruises, many all inclusives and city travel. This was our first river cruise. We chose AMA as our travel agent recommended them due to their level of service, amenities and included tours. We chose the itinerary as we were able to see the Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland in one week. Wanted to see the ...

Excellent Service by crew. Great food. The suggestions I would provide is that ship have a pool, work out area, and spa. Also the excursions at some of stops were too short to explore the area. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone and look forward to going on a Viking Ocean Cruise in the next 24-36 months. Staff was courteous, professional, and attentive. We had laundry service done ...

We always wanted to do a European river cruise and because we were coming off a B2B Norwegian Fjords & Scandinavia cruise, we decided to include a Rhine river cruise. In a word, the cruise was outstanding. First and foremost, our Captain, Michael was amazing. He was so engaging, approachable and so personable and shared so much knowledge of his experience cruising the European waterways. The ...

Having recently disembarked from Holland America’s Rotterdam this(June 5 2022) I would like to share my thoughts with you. Be prepared for a long, thorough report. This a brand new, well maintained boat. We had about 60-70% capacity. A great majority 65 plus. Many walkers and motorized wheel chairs. Maybe a dozen children along with a group of 150 young European Travel agents who were ...

Wanted to sail on the Rhine River and go to The Passion Play in Oberammergau. We did a pre-cruise extension in Amsterdam. We loved Amsterdam. Such a beautiful and clean city. The canals are so picturesque both in daylight and lit up at night. On the river, Kinderdijk is quintessential Holland with its windmills. The port stops along the Rhine were so much fun. Seeing Cologne Cathedral is ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We chose a balcony cabin which was perfect. Our designated cabin however was at the very rear of the ship and the noise from the engine room intolerable. However d the ship was not full ad we were able to move after two nights the new cabin was great. The daily programme of activities was very extensive and would suit most peoples requirements. There ...

This was our fourth river cruise, previously sailing with Avalon & Viking, although a good cruise, overall Emerald would be my third choice, I’ll explain why. We were lucky enough to be in an owners suite but had family in the smaller suites. The rooms are definitely smaller, the shops are all about the same size, Emerald squeezes more cabins in and so the size of the room has to give. We had ...

Did more ships from Celebrity! Also with the grand old lady "Conny". Top. But the Apex was in one word "Fantastic". Tips: Have a drink on the carpet! Eden! Waiter "Raldon" in Normandie #136. Go to a show in the theater with the beautiful LED screen, or take a walk on the curves up and down walking/running track. Have a real swim in the big Pool, 22.8 mt ...
