The short story is we had a great cruise. We've sailed with Azamara one other time and this is about our 35th cruise overall. We've done small all the way up to mega-sized ships. There's pros/cons to them all and we enjoy all the experiences with some big differences between them. Azamara's advantages are known. The overnights. The Azamazing Evenings. Their ability to get close in on many ...
This was our first time on Azamara. Friends of ours who went with us on this cruise, had sailed with them before and they spoke very highly of the line. Our itinerary was from Lisbon to Barcelona and was 9 nights in length. We tacked on a couple of extra days on each end of the trip and made it a full two weeks. It was such a different experience from the mega ships, several of which we have ...
This is our feedback on the cruise we booked onboard following our 2022 France intensive cruise. This time it's Spain intensive (Lisbon to Barcelona). Since we only sail Azamara it's an Azamara 2022 V Azamara 2023 comparison.
Once again, we sailed on the Journey and, as previously, the ship sailed and arrived exactly as scheduled in each port and in every case appeared to have the best berth ...
My friend Jim and I enjoyed the Epic's December Transatlantic voyage from Lisbon to Manhattan. Here are some of my thoughts:
The Good:
We stayed at a terrific, boutique 22-room hotel in Lisbon called the Sao Vicente Alfama before embarking;
Uber worked well to get us around the hilly Alfama neighborhood and to the Port;
Our mini-suites(11249 and 11253)were comfortable and our cabin ...
This cruise was chosen to celebrate my 50th birthday because my travel companion did the Spring 2022 crossing from Miami to Lisbon and loved it.
The cruise was fabulous! I highly recommend doing it if you have the chance. All the staff were incredible. A special shout out to the multi-talented hostess Evelyn, the amazing waitstaff and bartenders, especially Alfred, Ramses, Edward, Milton, ...
We took this cruise for two reasons, we needed to spend cruise credits that Regent would not extend beyond 12/31 and there was a post-cruise safari at the end. We were not disappointed. In fact, for my husband, it was the trip of a lifetime.
Seven Seas Voyager is a luxury ship and Regent is doing well in getting things back on track post-COVID. The ship is older, so in some ways not as nice as ...
We have been traveled on Viking 4 times before and they never disappoint.
From the ship, food, side excursions and crew one can not ask for a better vacation. The scenery, was so beautiful that I could not believe it was real. Meeting the captain daily and the rest of the crew made for a very pleasant, caring time.
Our cabin was on the middle deck and suited our needs. Most of the time ...
Portugal is a beautiful country, and a river cruise is a great way to do it. The Viking Hemming crew was exceptional, the tour guides were very enlightening and the travel in the Mercedes bus to the off-river sites was extremely comfortable. No complaints at all. We found the food to be excellent, and the servings were perfectly apportioned. The wait staff was very courteous and brought us ...
One of the top rated cruises we have ever been on. I can not say enough about Viking.
The crew, the food, the trip each day were superior.
We so enjoy both Lisbon and the river of Gold. Exploring each day was an adventure and the people on board were so wonderful.
I recommend this cruise to all that I speak with. We fell in love with Lisbon and the Douro valley. The wineries, the ...
We chose this cruise because of interest in Portugal.
From our arrival in Lisbon to our departure from the ship in Porto, Viking handled everything perfectly. Transfers were on time, Patricia ( our cruise director) was on top of everything.
The hotel in Lisbon was excellent , the transportation team was the best.
Once we were greeted on board the Osfrid by the ship’s crew, we felt we were ...
