My family and I sailed on the Resilient Lady departing from Athens, Greece around the Aegean Sea. We had a fabulous time and credited this to the beautiful ship, friendly faces amongst the staff, and excellent service!
Firstly, dining on the ship was superior to any alternative cruise line we have sailed prior (10+). In addition to dining options, the ship offers curated cocktails with unique ...
This was an amazing trip . Scenic arranged the whole package door to door and it all ran very smoothly.
On time & very comfortable transfers . Superb hotel in Lisbon - The Epic Sana Marques .
The tours throughout were very well organised . We particularly enjoyed the excursion to Quinta Aveleda
Every single crew member onboard Scenic Azure is absolutely outstanding and they made this ...
It was our third Viking River cruise and we have been more than pleased at the overall quality of every aspect of cruising with Viking, including overall value. This destination, the Douro, was recommended to us by travelers we met on our previous cruises. The Ships are great. The Staff is friendly and helpful. And the guides they choose, local and from the ships, are off the charts outstanding. ...
Viking had been recommended to me by a friend who has been on 3 Viking river and ocean cruises. My son was in Portugal last year, and loved it, so that's why we decided on the Duoro River cruise. This is was an adult cruise, with only about 140 passengers. I went with 3 friends and we spent 2 nights in Lisbon in a 5 star hotel as part of the package, then headed north to Porto to board the ...
Like the old ships before the razzle dazzle and kid's clubs etc, just loved the understated old fashioned elegance, the crew was excellent and it wasn't crowded, I love this ship and liked it so much we booked it again for 2024. I have only sailed on Royal Caribbean and am up to diamond status, but found the concierge couldn't be beat for solving problems. Can't be positive enough about this ship. ...
This cruise was selected at the start of the pandemic with a view to giving us something good to look forward to. We traveled with four friends from the UK and met with two friends from the USA. The two nights in Lisbon were interesting and the trip to the maritime museum with Marc Antony - our guide - was stimulating with the earlier battles and journeys of the Portuguese. I was not particularly ...
John and I were delighted to discover this one-off food- and wine-centric itinerary on the L’Austral. We enjoy the French ambiance, excellent food, and great wine onboard Ponant’s ships. This cruise promised more of the same by including a Michelin-starred guest chef, guest experts on wine and cheese, and special wine and gastronomic events. The Ponant Corporate Chef was also onboard this ...
This was our first cruise with Windstar. We have cruised before on a large ship with a different cruise line. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the Star Pride. Our cabin was very comfortable and much larger then the other cruise line. We were in Cabin . The cabin is 277sq ft. It has a separate seating area with a couch and 2 chairs located next to a large window. The queen sized bed was ...
This was our second time sailing with Silversea. The first was last year on the Silver Moon which is Silver Dawn's twin sister.
The food on Silversea's is very upscale regardless of whether you do the standard dining options or pay for the premium restaurants. Our favorite was a premium restaurant called Kaiseki. It is a Japanese styled restaurant that serves sashimi's, different seafood ...
This was our first cruise with Azamara and sixth overall. The ship returned to the fleet after an overhaul in May 2022. Veranda cabins are 176 square feet but adequate. There were about 590 on board with a crew of 400. We boarded in Lisbon in a very efficient fashion. Orientation was quick and smooth. We went to our cabin and then directly to the pool bar Deck 9 mid-ship. The Windows Cafe buffet ...
