Lisbon to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

I went on this cruise with relatives who were celebrating a big anniversary and I was in a solo studio. This was my first time on the Epic and I had a great cruise but my experience was likely very different from others who sailed on this ship recently. Reasons for this may be because this cruise had fewer people on it than others recently and it seemed as though there was a lot of new staff. I ...

This was our 45th cruise overall and our 3rd time on Seabourn. Seabourn is our favorite line because of the conviviality of our fellow passengers. We were traveling with family and all of us had a good time, relaxing, enjoying an excellent level of service, attentive but not fussy. It was an Atlantic crossing, but there were enough activities on board, including some very good enrichment ...

Solo traveler...I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Partially blocked oceanview cabin was a delight...larger than cabins on newer ships. Stewards were awesome as were all staff. I was on Deck 8 midship...perfect location. Spent an overnight in Lisbon before embarkation...loved it. Lisbon is a beautiful hilly city that requires some stamina...but worth the effort. Embarkation was a breeze. Food was ...

We chose this for the itinerary to see more of Spain and Portugal. Infinity is an older ship but we're ok with that. Staff were all excellent. Entertainment was mixed. Will Martin was the highlight and performed on two nights. The female violinist was good. We walked out of the male violinist. We also walked out of the magician/comedian who did old routines and wasn't funny. The entertainment crew ...

I chose because of the itinerary and wanted to try Seabourn cruise line. We have sailed multiple times around the Mediterranean with Silversea so I wanted to go outside of the Mediterranean. This cruise started in Lisbon to Canary Islands and to Morocco into Med to Motril Spain and ended in Lisbon. While anticipating our trip I read a lot of Seabourn reviews and was nervous about the trip ...

Our first impressions of the ship is “It’s impressive”. The Viva is a new ship, only been at sea for a couple of months. The outside of the ship looks great with a lovely paint job. Wandering round the ship everything looks new as you would expect, no blemishes or wear on fabrics or walls. There is a great choice of bars and restaurants, with five complimentary restaurants and 8 specialty ...

Just returned from 16days on Silversea newest ship the Nova. While the ship is beautiful and the service for the most part was exceptional as always on Silversea I personally( actually several passengers agreed ) the Nova was not my cup of tea. The color palette thru out is very monochromatic and frankly dull. The spacious deserted long, long passages within the ship connecting venues made us ...

The staff, cuisine and ability for the ship to enter all ports owing to it's size, were truly excellent. The entertainment was a standout especially as regards the external talent. The Azamara troupe was full of xing but not always great individual singing talent. That said...as a troupe they were just fine and the Cruise Directors excellent. Yes the ship is in need of some TLC as it has clearly ...

We travelled on the second Viva trip out of lisbon. I wasn't going to leave a review as I like a ship when it is not too crowded, and too many positive reviews will only encourage crowds!!! But.....then I thought that was a bit unfair, so here goes. Embarkation in Lisbon was a dream. We arrived at the port at 10.50am having walked from our city centre hotel (about 15 minutes walking) and ...

We travelled as a family on the Viva on its 2nd ever cruise. Overall we had a fabulous trip with very little to complain about. Our favourites things about the ship were Syd Normans, the outdoor area on Deck 8, especially the infinity pools, Hudsons Dining Room , the Indulge Food Hall, the Observation Lounge and the kids club. Areas that were less to our taste were the main pool deck area and the ...
