Paris Cruise Reviews

We had been WOWED by our Danube Cruise a few years ago and decided to visit Paris/Normandy with Viking. Our cabin was nowhere as good as the same on the Danube. Was told by the crew that the Seine ships are smaller in width. If true, then Viking should have created a design with fewer cabins and more space. (However, $$$ are always the decision maker) See my cabin review. Food was above ...

We wanted to see Paris and other sites such as Monet's Garden. The weather was perfect the entire trip and the excursions were excellent. We first stayed at the Hotel du Louvre for two nights and it exceeded our expectations. While we enjoyed our Tauck cruise, mostly due to the excellent weather we had and the excursions, the entire Tauck experience did not meet our expectations. We expected ...

I wanted to do this cruise on the Seine from Paris to Normandy roundtrip. This was a charter by "Brand g", an all gay cruise. Our cabin was not fully prepared when we entered the room. I tried to set the safe code but could not. When I went to the desk I was told I needed a key which was provided. Not the kind of security one expects on a cruise. Food was good for a cruise boat, but not ...

The desire to travel to France and in particular visit Normandy. This itinerary is only really appropriate for visiting Normandy. The cruising was less scenic than other itineraries. We were hampered by a broken lock (not Viking’s fault) and a series of issues with water and electricity onboard / lack of communication regarding those issues - communication should be better. The crew as always ...

This was our 7th river cruise on Viking. We have definitely noticed a decline in our experiences. The crew members remain top notch although some of the wait staff seemed distracted. One accidentally spilled hot coffee all over my husband's back. He just apologized. My husband reported it to the registration desk on his way to go change his pants, shirt and jacket. When we return to the ...

This trip was postponed several times due to covid. As a reward for booking another cruise we were promised several on board ship benefits. When the time came to cash them in we were told that we did not have them by our travel agent. I called Viking directly and they told me that they would not speak with me because we had an agent but they did tell me that we had some credits. After very ...

We chose this particular cruise because of the dates and it ended in Prague. The tour director was not very experienced despite the fact she said she was with Viking a long time. The boat docked in ports that were not necessarily in the city or even near it for that matter. One night we were docked at an industrial area next to piles of sand and huge logs. Overall this trip lacked the ...

We have enjoyed all of our experiences with Uniworld until now. On the plus side: The ship was very clean and well attended. the Ports were as described and the local tour guides were excellent especially in Versailles and Normandy. (note that in Rouen the art museum is not open on Tuesdays...I brought it to the attention of the local tour guide, who recommended it, (even though it was closed) ...

We chose the cruise because of the time spent in Paris and Prague. But the worst thing about this cruise is the itinerary in between those 2 cities. This cruise is our 70th cruise including several river cruises. That context gives us an often different perspective from most cruisers. We have been on almost all the cruise lines at one time or another. Hence, we do not automatically feel the ...

For our first foray back into cruising my DH and I chose a Tauck Rhône cruise “Savoring France” beginning with 2 nights in the Intercontinental Paris Opera. We began our Paris visit at a different hotel with 6 nights at The Peninsula so it was a nice touch at the beginning when Tauck still provided a transfer from CDG to that hotel. We were on our own to take an Uber over to the Tauck hotel but ...
