Barcelona Luxury Cruises Cruise Reviews

After 31 cruises, I may have found the cruise perfect for my wife and me. We had the privilege of being on the third sailing of the Ervima from Barcelona to Lisbon. We booked the cruise to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it did not disappoint. Nothing was missing from this trip, from the outstanding staff (barely missing a beat) to the beautiful yacht, the fantastic ports, and the ...

Chose this cruise for the eastern Mediterranean itinerary and to experience the Splendor. We've been on the Explorer and wanted to compare. Like the decorations and feel of the Explorer better but this is an excellent vessel. It handled the gale-force winds and waves we encountered one night just fine. We stepped down from Penthouse to Concierge D for this 17-day trip and the room was very ...

We chose this trip mainly for the Israel focus and spent three days there. The excursions are always expensive and in Israel the guides were useless, which was frustrating. Also there were no port talks; odd; though most people now have to book before they get on board. Booking was sometimes complicated pre-cruise. The ship is a size we like 1200 pax and it has all the usual stuff. We like ...

We picked the cruise for the itinerary. We were able to get Greece, Israel, and Turkey on one trip with the bonus of starting in Barcelona. We were originally booked into standard balcony class on deck eight. We were offered a modestly priced upgrade to concierge class on deck ten and decided to try it. We spent three days in Barcelona (our second time there). The highlight was a food and wine ...

We usually travel on Celebrity's new ships, most recently enjoying the retreat, so we can't compare SS to other luxury lines. The food was excellent - but you need to make reservations in advance to get the times/venue you prefer. Service was excellent. Compared to Celebrity retreat, SS food and service were much better (to us). Many restaurant choices and always someone asking us if we need ...

We chose this cruise because the offer from the travel company (Imagine Cruising) seemed great. In hindsight it wasn't all that terrific. First of all, the ship is beautiful. Very understated, but at the same time oppulent. Beautiful chandeliers, nice rooms to relax in. Our stateroom (1105) was great. We stayed in that cabin for 5 weeks (Barcelona to Sydney). Room steward Steven was ...

We have enjoyed a Viking River Cruise in the past, but it's hard to find a river from Barcelona to Italy. There were many similarities with the river cruise, including great food and a staff that lives to please. The Chef's Table originally felt like an iffy choice for us, but we enjoyed both nights we dined there. Reindeer Consume was not our usual fare, but the adventure was a pleasant ...

This was our third Viking cruise. We had been on two other cruises through other cruise lines. Viking is so much better than they were. The crew was wonderful. We grew so fond of the various servers that it was sad when we had to disembark. The food was great, as were the drinks. I highly recommend the Silver Spirits package. It was fun to try the drinks our bartender in the Explorer Lounge bar, ...

I have been on a Viking River Cruise so Viking was my first choice for an ocean cruise. And the fact that it was a smaller, more intimate ship made it just what I was looking for...and the itinerary couldn't have been more spectacular. Within a day, staff knew our names and by day 2 knew our drink preferences. Attention to detail was amazing. And the ship itself was aesthetically pleasing ...

This was a once in a life time cruise. The places to see and visit was outstanding. The local tour guides knew a lot about what to see and how to look at art from different angles. We had enough time in port to enjoy most of the locations, but at a couple of cities, we were rushed and did not have time to see the palace or churches in Pisa. Our room was very pleasant and was always ...
