Bordeaux to Europe Senior Cruises Reviews

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 ...

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 have cruised about 300 days with many other cruise lines and this was our first cruise with Azamara. We found the staff to be the nicest and most helpful of all the cruise lines we have been with. I have a mobility scooter and they were extremely helpful when I had difficulty getting around. The ship is older and not too accessible. There were high ledges and doors to open that could not ...

We chose this river cruise because owe always wanted to try Scenic. They had a good special on and we were not disappointed. We also wanted to visit the Bordeaux region so this fit the bill nicely. We had a wonderful suite. The suites are a bit small but very efficient so we found spots for all our luggage. There were lots of plugs for our electronics and laptop, hearing aid charger and more. It ...

Saw this Beautiful Bordeaux cruise whilst thumbing the Sunday Papers with an early bird 2 for 1. Had never been on a river trip but this trip was par excellence. Food staff and scenery ….oh and the all inclusive premium drinks and electric bike rides. First class overall. Bit of a pain going by train with early morning departure from St Pancras but all part of the journey . Brilliant electric ...

Ship: Amadolce, max passengers 140, actual passengers on our cruise 110. Beautiful ship. Cabin: 3**, Category A+. We chose this cabin because the pictures online showed a larger bathroom arrangement than the rest of the categories. When we cruise on Scenic last year in their lowest level cabin, we had to open the bathroom door to turn around, so bathroom size is now a priority. Unfortunately, ...

I saw an add for an October sailing of the Bordeaux Wine Region and booked the October cruise from the city of Bordeaux. It was a great value, especially since daily excursion options were offered and included in the cost, as well as free flowing wine/beer at lunch dinner, plus a daily happy hour! After many ocean cruises from US to Caribbean, Alaska, and in Europe, this was our first river ...

We chose the the Taste of Bordeaux trip with AmaWaterways after significant due diligence on numerous websites, including many you tube accounts by Travel Advisors and non-travel advisors. I had originally zeroed in on another company for the same cruise due to their truly "all inclusive" policy, i.e. tips, 24 hour premium drinks, etc. In this particular case, I could not find availability on ...

This was our fourth scenic cruise, although deferred twice due to covid. It was also the first time we'd been out of our country since the onset of the pandemic. We had a marvellous time both during the river cruise, as well as on our pre and post cruise stay in Bordeaux and the french riviera respectively. We had some doubts about Scenic owing to the their persistent call centre problems. ...
