Paris Cruise Reviews

In 2016, some friends and I enjoyed a Seine River Cruise that included the Normandy Beaches. That cruise was with Mayflower Tours and was aboard the Amadeus, chartered from Lueftner Cruises. No sooner did we disembark the ship than I swore I would definitely return. And I did just that this past June...sailing on a similar Normandy Beaches cruise but this time with Viking River Cruises. BIG ...

Based on advertising and friend recommendation Nothing special, wait staff and bartenders were GREAT. Cruise Director (Mimi) was terrible spoke to us like we were children. Referred to Joan of Arc as “Joanie on a pony” an insult to all concerned Food was not of the quality I expected. Waited in line at the unorganized buffet only to find the main course was hot dogs and kraut. Room ...

A couple of things first. Checked Paris for embarkation but it was actually Vernon which is about an hour south of Paris but not on the list. Secondly this trip was supposed to consist of two parts, the cruise itself and the pre cruise excursion I booked to the south of France which comprised 5 of the 12 actual days of travel. Both were purchased thru Vantage and thus are reviewed ...

We sailed with Scenic on the South of France itinerary departing April 29 2017. We chose Scenic because in Australia they have an impressive reputation. The boat was quite nice and our cabin on level 2 had a very large balcony which did seem to increase the room size. This was my husband and my first river cruise although I had personally cruised twice before on the ocean. On the second day ...

This was our first river cruise and a disappointment after having experienced ocean cruises with Regent and Silver-sea. First impression upon arrival was that the boat appeared to be an over-sized houseboat. Our veranda suite was clean and well appointed, but was small and more cramped than suites we were used to on ocean cruises. The lounge area was the meeting place each day for briefings on ...

We chose Viking's The Heart of Normandy in the fall in order to see Paris without the heavy tourist population of warmer weather and also to travel in Normandy. First of all, the ship's crew and the cruise director were all faultlessly polite and efficient. They performed flawlessly and were superb. The issue is that this is the cruise that wants to be a cruise but isn't. This was our 3rd ...

My husband and I took a Vantage Seine River Cruise from Paris to Honfluer, France because many of our friends recommended a river cruise as a great way to see Europe. The state rooms were small but well-organized with plenty of storage. The bathroom was larger than on any previous cruise ships we’d been on and the water in the shower was powerful and easily-adjusted. The service onboard was ...

Note: You don’t dock anywhere near Paris. If you want Paris than you need to book another cruise line, not Viking. This is review of the Viking Ships, Rinda, Rolf and Kadlin as they all do the same route on different days. We were on the Kadlin departure on June 24, the boat embarks from Le Pecq, not Paris. Day one Arrival: very smooth. Meet the Viking reps wearing red jackets right outside ...

The cruise did not meet our expectations. We did not like the port of entry being over 1 hour out of Paris or the expense to get back into the city. We much prefer the 120 passenger ship. The staff did not hold a candle to the staff we had a month before on our first Viking Cruise on the Elbe or on any of our Uniworld Cruises. The wait staff was adequate but the core Captain etc just didn't ...

This is a brief comment about a past experience I had a few months ago from Paris. My best description to this experience is that we got what we paid for. Me and my wife had sailed with some other River Cruise Lines. We had paid much more for our previous sailings,with some of the other competitors ( AMA, AVALON, EMERALD) just to mention some of the ones we have used in the past. Overall ...
