Mediterranean Luxury Cruises Cruise Reviews

A few facts to start with.. Azamara Journey, France Intensive. Barcelona to Nice over seven nights stopping at seven ports. Three tendered ports, the remaining docked. All docked ports were in best berth in that particular port. No requirement for a free bus into town at any location. Perfect seamanship, the Journey arrived and departed exactly on schedule each day. Captains broadcasts kept to ...

Silversea has always been seen as the pinnacle of cruising. As it's branded as "ultra-luxury" we've waited a long time to be able to sail and with great anticipation. We found this amazing 7 night Greek Isles & Turkey itinerary and had to book it right away. We did our research, read reviews, joined even joined the informal group on Facebook to read about what to expect. It all sounded so amazing: ...

On our first evening in suite 844 the vibration was dreadful. The entire bathroom vibrated, as did the bedroom. Worst of all was the bed vibrating. Our entire bodies shook. It was distressing and made us both feel almost sick. First thing in the morning my husband reported the matter, but somehow it was not seen as a complaint! After three visits to reception, we eventually got a member of ...

We chose this cruise because we heard/read that this was a top of the line cruise and we wanted to compare to other cruise lines we've sailed with including some European river cruises. From the time we booked the cruise until we actually embarked, communication and customer service was definitely sub par. All correspondence with customer service was by phone with the exception of booking a ...

We loved the Viking Danube river cruise we went on in May 2018 and chose the 7 night Ancient Mediterranean Cruise as our first post-COVID cruise. Although we felt overwhelmed by the long airport check-in lines we got to Athens and checked in the Viking Sky after nose swabs. Thanks to Viking hosts at Athens our embarkation went without a hitch. Our portside aft deluxe verandah #3068 was ...

We booked this cruise for the itinerary, and because the dates fit. Regent is more expensive than our usual cruise, but we wanted to see if it was worth the money; it was not, which is why the cruise only received 3 stars. We had booked a 14 day cruise. Three months before the sailing date, Regent sent us a notice that the cruise itinerary was being dramatically changed, dropping many cities ...

Sadly, having experienced the Silverseas all inclusive luxury we won’t be returning. Having cruised seven times previously with five different mid-range cruise lines; Cunard, MSC, Celebrity and others we thought we might blow our annual holiday budget, saved after many Covid enforced cancelations, on one top end cruise and be seriously spoilt. Other than the feeling of space on board the Silver ...

Good cruise, which could have been better. Sad to report and review. Smoke and smoking affected everything. On board. In our room, verranda and walking on ninth and tenth floors. We couldn't use our verranda on the eight floor. We had friends on the seventh floor who also complained of the smell. There was cigarette and cigar smoking from our first to last day on board, ship. It's a safety ...

This was our first cruise on Oceania, after having sailed Celebrity on our most recent 3 cruises. Oceania was recommended by friends, so thought we would take the plunge, and we were glad that we did! Here are some of our observations: CHECK IN: We departed from Civitavecchia (Rome). The terminal was older, but well laid out. Being a small ship with staggered check in times, there were no ...

We originally scheduled this cruise for April 2020, then COVID-19 resulted in cancellation. We were rescheduled for August 2020, with a different itinerary but again, COVID resulted in cancellation. We had challenging and frustrating interactions with our Oceania agent to the point where if we didn't lost our investment we would have cancelled altogether. To be honest, we were sort of numb by ...
