Our first river cruise was an enlightening experience. With two ocean cruises in our past, we were skeptical of the significant cost difference between a river and ocean cruise but soon realized you do get what you pay for. Far more intimate service, better food, and attentiveness on excursions. AmaWaterways is top notch and we couldn't say enough positive things about our cruise manager, ...
My friend and I shared a room (two twin beds) for the week cruise and had a terrific time.
We spent the first night in Bordeaux at the InterContinental Hotel and boarded the ship the next day. The Hotel is fabulous!
Our quarters were small for two people, but we managed. We were on the top floor and with the "balcony" which was not really a balcony, just a nice window that could be ...

Greetings from AmaWaterways, thank you for sharing your river cruise experience with us! It is great to know that our team was welcoming and helpful during your stay. We are delighted you had...
We were looking for a wine cruise and this one fit the bill. The staff on board went out of their way to make sure we were having a wonderful time. Our luggage was lost for 13 days and the people at the front desk were on the phone daily trying to track it down. We loved our little cabin and Adrian who kept it impeccable. The chef was a hoot but even more importantly, the food was beyond ...
I just got back from the Viking Forseti river ship in Bordeaux. I have been on 5 Viking trips, so far, and have a 6th booked in April. Bordeaux was wonderful in many aspects. Viking staff was great; the chef was marvelous, I feel the best food I have had on Viking so far. Viking staff went over & above in taking staff & Food to Chateau Kirwan and they put on a full banquet in our honor. The ...
We chose this cruise because it was an area of France which we had always wanted to visit. We have sailed once before with Scenic on the Rhine and four times with the sister Company Emerald. We have always been very happy with the service we have received. The cabin was an adequate size for us and was kept extremely clean by our attendant. The food and drinks package was also very good. The ...
We had a great time visiting the Bordeaux Region of France in the comfort of the well equipped Viking Forseti ship. The ship's crew was welcoming and a joy to be with on our journey with them. On board food and beverage was excellent with a wide choice of options. Housekeeping staff was meticulous in keeping our Stateroom fresh twice a day.
On shore excursions were available every full day ...
This was our second Viking river cruise. First was the Rhine in 2019 and now this Bordeaux Wine Cruise. Both cruises were great. The countries were beautiful and the Viking experience is second-to-none. Great excursions, fantastic tour guides and highly skilled bus drivers. The food was good, sometimes exceptional. The entire Viking staff is always excellent. We paid extra for the Silver Spirt ...
We were looking for a French river cruise that included wine regions, and this was the one that fit our timeline. We loved the regions and the tours that we selected. The Loire valley was beautiful, I would love to spend more time there, along with more time in Bordeaux and St Emilion. The accommodations on the boat and the hotel selections were above expectations, the chateau’s we visited and ...
This was our first Viking river cruise and it certainly won't be our last! My wife and I were one of the few Viking "rookies" on board. Everyone we met had already cruised with Viking several times and we met people a number of people that had cruised with Viking 10+ times. We were looking for a quiet destination and the Bordeaux cruise definitely provided that. There were only 2-3 other ...
This was our first river cruise and the experience was beyond expectation. The entire staff obviously love what they do and it reflects in the experience my husband and I received. From the moment we stepped on board, check in was smooth, our cabins were immaculate and well appointed as was the entire ship. The dining experience, from the quality of the food, the wine and the staff was five ...
