Uniworld packages 3 voyages together as "Ultimate France", this covers week 1. Bon Voyage has a bistro that you could book for dinner instead of eating in the main dining room. Housekeeping:- cabin was clean and well maintained. There were 97 passengers aboard the ship and even though BV was a small ship, it never felt over crowded. About 30 passengers continued onto the next ...

Have been on many many river cruises and though this might be a nice change as I never have been with this company before well it is my first and last .I can’t really find anything that I could say that says 5 star at best 3 star food was the worst I have ever experienced the quality of the products were just underwhelming I had paid over £5000 for one person on a French river cruise I expect ...

We took this cruise as a part of a group hosted by a local winery. The best part of the cruise were the winery excursions. After that not so good. Only had 1 meal that was out of the ordinary. While a different soup was offered at each evening meal it they all tasted the same. The other issue at dining was the change of staff even when you sat at the same table. The primary lounge ...

The Outstanding: This was a themed cruise and our hosts and fellow passengers were interesting, conversational and knew how to have a good time in spite of the vessel. The Good: Hotel Director Ivana was outstanding in resolving any issues and providing assistance. Servers all worked very hard and remained pleasant even though they were overwhelmed. The Captain was very personable and ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was our first river cruise having done many sea cruises with Seabourn and Silversea. We were initially pleased with the overall experience, although the suites were a little tired. All of the staff were extremely polite and helpful and we listed many individuals in our on board review.The food, service and excursions were excellent. The on board entertainment was average. Apart from one guest ...

Beware of Viking Cruise Line

I chose this trip because I had traveled with Viking twice before and had two wonderful trips - both were top of the line. Not this one. We were told that Viking now has 58 ships and is building two more. With a fleet of 60 ships it would seem inevitable that their quality control would go way down, and this is exactly what happened on this trip. First the good: the crew were all very ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We have been on several Viking river cruises before, in German and Russia and had very good holidays. The problems with communication on this trip started as we arrived at the port when the person who was supposed to come to the coach to deliver important information failed to turn up. Consequently we had problems early on as we did not know about the imminent passenger information meeting. When ...

My daughter and I traveled in late March in the Bordeaux region with Viking. It was our first with Viking and our second river cruise. We will never travel with Viking again nor could we recommend them. Besides of daily issues with the meal service (it was taking more than 3 hours for 3-course dinners), I became ill and needed medical attention. I spent TWO days asking them to find me a doctor who ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and based upon Vikings advertising. We have been on about a dozen river boat and this was the most disappointing. First, while the were breakfasts were well done, both lunch and dinners were not only limited in selection, but also below par, quality-wise. In 30 years of travel, only once before did I return an entrée. On this cruise, I did so ...
