Amsterdam to France Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

We had a great time! Every detail was taken care of. What was especially helpful was the direct flight and the assistance with food prep due to my spouse having a food allergy. The maitre dee always brought the menus the night before so there were no surprises. I only wish that the second leg of the journey aboard the Hermod had been equally impressive. Unfortunately, it was not. Not once did we ...

This was a Specialty Cruise- Festive Christmas Markets, which are a very important part of the European holiday tradition. This was our first time on Avalon and experiencing the markets. We arrived an extra day early in Amsterdam to be able to see the Van Gogh and Anne Frank Museums. This and the Zans Schans excursion and the 9 streets area, as well as the Winter Festival of Lights Cruise, were so ...

My friends and I, a group of forty-something guys, decided to give a Viking river cruise a try. We all wanted to visit the Christmas markets in Europe and though this would be a relaxing, carefree way to do so. Boy were we wrong. I'll start with the positive. The ship was clean, bright, and well-appointed. Space was used efficiently, and our French balcony stateroom was small but comfortable. ...

This was our first River cruise. Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. My husband had read so much about Viking so we booked departing Amsterdam Nov. 12, 2023 for the 8 day cruise to Basel. The crew was exceptional, cabin was nice. The food was ok, cold most of the time. In the brochure it states no waiting in lines and that what we did most of the time. We thought that once we got to a ...

It was our first Viking river cruise. We had the best time on the boat. We did mostly the free tours and they were all amazing. The tours that we paid for were well worth it. Our favorite tour was the Kolsch beer pub crawl. Our tour guide, Rocco was the best. We made friends with everyone. We did do some walking around on our own. We took the bus to town and would take our time exploring the city. ...

We had never been on a cruise of any kind before. My husband wasn’t fond of going on a sea cruise so we opted last minute for this river cruise with Avalon, one of the best decisions we’ve made in many years as it turned out! We were impressed with the customer focussed organisation and service provided by Avalon and its members of staff. To achieve such seamlessness indicates that this ...

We sailed to Alaska on Oceania in 2013 and loved it. We haven't been able to book with Oceania again until this cruise and we were excited. We were especially anticipating the food because of our prior experience. Sadly, we were disappointed. First, the good: the rooms are roomy and beautiful. The bathroom was the best (by far) I've ever had on a ship or in many hotels. We had a great cabin ...

Having sailed on 50 cruises or more, this was the best cruise we have ever had. Everything about the ship, food, service, and cabins were first rate. Riviera is completely refurbished and looks spectacular in all areas. She is a beautiful ship inside and out. With about 1200 passengers, Riviera is large enough to give you plenty of dining options and public areas and yet small enough to ...

The Rhine cruise has been on my bucket list and I finally got the chance to go with my sister. From the moment we stepped on board the ship and throughout our entire cruise, we felt special. The food was phenomenal, our stateroom was perfect (Damarisz was a super housekeeper for us), the walking tours informative, extra excursions were awesome, and Wez (program Director) made every night a blast! ...

My husband and I always wanted to do a River cruise. The itinerary for the Rhine River fit our agenda. We went with another couple. From the time we got on board until the time we left, we had a wonderful experience. We booked the veranda room with a balcony on the 3rd deck. We did sit outside a few mornings with our coffee. Sometimes though, we would be parked parallel to another Viking ...
