Grand Circle Europe Cruise Reviews

My husband suggested we do a cruise, and I was leery about an ocean cruise (I don't want to be seasick!), but my mom had told me that river cruises are very smooth. We did the Grand Circle Travel river cruise from Paris to Nice. We actually took a bus from Paris to Lyon, where the ship was docked. The food! We were offered so much food! The first night was the captain's welcome dinner and the ...

Initially, this cruise was chosen for its value--an exceptional offer was made that our cruising buddies noted and we followed through by booking the cruise as well as the pre-trip in Switzerland. We had wanted to go on a larger, better-known cruise line. We were not disappointed in the Grand Circle Cruise Line. The river boat River Harmony that holds 140 passengers was beautiful and had all ...

Our first river cruise with friends who had done 4 other river cruises.we spent two days in Nice , traveled to the ship to geton in Arles, stopped in Avignon, Viviers, and two days in lyon. Then a train to paris for two days. A way to experience France that you would probably not do on your own. Meeting local people in each town and city , going to their homes, eating in out of the way ...

I had never experienced this part of Europe, and I wanted to know more about the history and the people. My brother and sister-in-law invited me to join them on this adventure. The Program Director was very knowledgeable and communicated well. His concern for each of us was apparent. Michal related historical events and people that had influenced the growth and development of the Netherlands, ...

I have heard so many good things about Grand Circle Tours River Cruises I just had to join my friends. This was a trip of a life time, so many wonderful sights to see and things to do, there was just not enough time in the day to do it all. Not only the sights from the ship and the day trips our tour guides made all of out day trips extra special and personal. Hats off to our guides Niki, Bob and ...

Wanted to take a river cruise. Interesting ports of call. Captain and crew top notch. Waiters Stefan, Alessandra, Jessa and Olena efficient, courteous and “fun” to interact with. Our cabin attendant, Liudmyla, did a great job keeping our cabin clean and in order. Helena Petkovic, front desk, went out of her way to help me with jewelry purchase. Upon return from tours and excursions, Captain Martin ...

In 2000, I had driven alongside the Mosel (from Koblenz to Trier) and the Rhine north of Koblenz, and at the time I promised myself I'd go back and do the trip on the rivers...so this trip on River Harmony was a long-awaited fulfillment of that promise to myself, and this trip on the rivers did not disappoint! The Mosel was especially lovely, as was the pre-trip extension in Lucerne, during which ...

We wanted the variety offered with this cruise. We did the pre-trip in Paris, which was a wonderful experience and we are so glad to have done this, but this additional time in Paris was nice with the trip to Montmartre and additional free time in Paris. The beautiful Giverny, the history in Rouen as well as the lovely cathedral with its history and connection with Monet and his paintings, ...

The Springtime beauty of the Great Rivers of Europe mingled with the excellent and caring of the River Rhapsody staff made for an amazing trip! From airport to airport and every river in-between, safest travels without any worries. The dining and hotel staff were patient, gracious and went above and beyond every day. I traveled with my Mother, at 50, I was the youngster among the ...

We wished to learn about the Normandy Invasion and enjoy another river cruise. The Normandy day trip was quite emotional and many passengers were there to honor relatives and veterans. The itinerary, staff, Program Directors and food were all outstanding. Christophe Leger was our leader and a passionate traveler, historian, and all around good guy. His concern for our welfare, attention to ...
