Europe Cruise Reviews

We chose this British Isles Explorer cruise because we have been on several Viking River cruises and have always loved the service and facilities that Viking offers. I am of English, Welsh and Scottish heritage and was very anxious to see the area. Because of the weather we were unable to go to Wales, Ulapool, the Scottish Highlands and the Shetland Islands and missed 4 shore excursions which ...

This is our second ocean cruise with Viking. We have also completed four Viking river cruises. We chose the Great Britain Cruise because of the exceptional excursions offered and our past excellent experience with Viking cruises. All the Viking staff, from the embarkation staff, restaurant servers and chefs to our personal cabin steward provided exceptional service. Everyone went out of ...

My wife and I had been unable to due our traditional ocean cruising for a few years, and decided to splurge on a more expensive river cruise through several European countries we would normally not be able to visit. - note to future passengers: the rooms are almost exactly the same size, regardless of the cost. Choose wisely. The crew of the Emerald Sky were absolutely top notch, and I have ...

We just finished a seven-day cruise to Norwegian fjords out of Amsterdam and really enjoyed the experience. The ship is brand new and looks it; the staff were cleaning the already immaculate common spaces daily. The balcony room was well laid-out and spacious. The service was excellent and food was very good as well. The entertainment worked for us because it was music-focused, and we ...

1st cruise post covid, we had this trip booked for September 2020 which was cancelled. Three of us travelling in 2 balcony cabins, part of celebrating my mums 80th birthday. Husband and I have completed a number of cruises on Princess, RCI, Celebrity & P&O. Boarding was one of the slickest we have experienced, 30 mins from arrival at port to being on the ship, we did arrive near to our ...

One experience was excellent from embarkation to leaving this wonderful ship. The standard inside cabin was spacious and very well designed. Very comfy bed and plenty of storage. Food was excellent in the horizon buffet, The Quays and in the main dining rooms. The Chefs table was delicious and highly recommended. All the staff were pleasant and eager to please. We waited no longer than 10 ...

We chose Emerald Cruises as we had done a Rhine Cruise with them in 2022 and we had a wonderful experience. The Douro Cruise was no different. The ship is spotless and well maintained. The entire staff are very accommodating and personable. My favorite excursion was the trip to Salamanca, it is well worth the bus ride. Dinner at the winery was lovely as well. There is not much in the ...

Although I'm a veteran cruiser (more than 19 cruises at this point), this was my first experience on a Star Clippers ship. Sailing on this type of a ship offers a unique cruise experience, and in my opinion has the following pros and cons: PROS: • The Star Flyer has a passenger capacity of 170 max, but we had 155 on our sailing with all rooms occupied but one. This low passenger count ...

We have never cruised before but as my mother is getting on in years, it's getting to the stage where we can't do independent travel any more and we were keen to try a cruise where everything is on hand in one place. After much deliberation and deciding not to fly, with limited options we settled on the Princess Sky culinary cruise from Southampton to Guernsey, La Rochelle, Bilbao and La ...

Traveling on a Viking Longship is like traveling on a 5 star hotel that is moving ! The food was amazing and the staff were wonderful, friendly, and so helpful! Loved every minute of it. It was just first class from the time we were picked up at the airport to when we were taken back for our departure! Our pre excursion hotel was at a perfect location in Amsterdam, Anantara Krasnspolsky. We were ...
