Lisbon to Europe - River Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because of the dates/location required. Our inside cabin was just fine and saved a lot of money. One port was changed for another due to bad weather which was appreciated rather than another sea day. Lots of activities on the ship. We dont do the drinks or wifi package because of high price which I guess is normal on all cruises. I was quite happy with the food but I always ...

Over many years my wife and I have been able to river cruise several times on the rivers of Europe. This was our first experience cruising with Scenic. Ten days on Scenic's Azure cruising Portugals Douro was more than memorable. We found it difficult to fault any aspect of our trip....we simply could not. Everything & everyone....from the Captain,the restaurant staff, to "suite butlers" made our ...

I knew nothing of Portugal when I booked this trip other than hearing about a trip that a friend took. I can't believe that Portugal hadn't been on my list of places to see until now. What a wonderful country! The ship could not have been better! The crew was AWESOME. I know that's a word that is sometimes overused, but truly, that's the only way to describe them. EVERYONE was so welcoming ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the Viking Hemming. The staff was wonderful - the food was great - and we met wonderful people along the way. We extended our time with the pre - trip to Madrid and the post-trip to Santiago. Both extensions were so enjoyable. We especially liked the Flamenco Dance evening in Madrid and the stop in Braga on our way to Santiago. I wished we had more time to spend ...

My husband & I have always wanted to visit Portugal. We wanted to book through a company with a planned itinerary so that we could essentially pay & show up. We heard about Viking Cruises from our parents who raved about their experiences with their friends. After 10 days with Viking, we can say our parents were right. We are now telling all our friends about Viking Cruises. What we loved: ...

We've sailed several other Viking cruises thru Europe & had wanted to sail thru Portugal & Spain. We also sailed with 2 experienced cruisers & 2 non cruisers - our party of six all had a great time. All six of us flew from Chicago to Madrid for the pre extension in Madrid & four of us post extended to Sandtiago de Compostela (which we think was probably the highlight of the trip). We did learn ...

This was my 18th cruise and I have never EVER experienced anything like this. The ship felt very comfortable and bright. You can notice that the ship is designed for warm weather, with all the waterlides etc.You can really see that NCL has evolved! The food was delicious, the only time I've had so nice food onboard was on my Celebrity Beyond cruise. The emtertaintment was faboulous, I really never ...

We had not been to Portugal prior and were interested in learning about their wine industry. We found SO much more! The scenery, expert guides, the history. Our favorite tour by far was Marialva. The local guide was so involved in teaching us her rich history. A fabulous experience! But foremost in my thoughts was the wonderful attention of our crew. They made us feel welcome at all times. Special ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see the best of Portugal and we certainly did! We visited Porto and learned about the early Portugese explorers and enjoyed the delicous food of Portugal. We left Porto to sail the Doro River and encountered the amazing scenery and learned about how the formerly wild river was tamed with several locks. It was an amazing experience to sail through the ...

Viking was recommended by a friend who had cruised with them before. I had never been on a river cruise, but I enjoyed every second on the cruise. The cabins were very comfortable despite a small size. they are well thought out with a lot of storage space. The food was amazing. Since I was in Portugal, I wanted to taste all of the local flavors. If something is not of your liking, no problem, ...
