Germany Cruise Reviews

We did the Amsterdam-to-Basel cruise on the Hervor in late September 2023. This was our first river cruise. We've been on several ocean cruises. So it took a while to adjust to the smaller ship. For example... There's only one dining room and everyone eats at the same time. So that can get a bit hectic, and often it was difficult to find a place to sit. My wife and I were traveling by ...

Below is a brief review of our sailing on Queen Mary 2, September 20-29, 2023, 9 nights, from Hamburg to Southampton and on to New York. This was part of a 5 week trip that began in Milan, Italy at the end of August, and included a 7 night sailing on the Azamara Onward from Rome to Venice. We were in an Interior cabin with a window overlooking the multi-story lobby. We had noticed these ...

Fantastic Experience... Seamless transition from cruising to touring. Great choices of excursions and flexibility in choosing the same. Good activities and games onboard. Healthy fresh food and high-quality beverages.. The staff was amazing and courteous. Always smiling and performing their duties passionately. The cabin size was impressive and the space was used very smartly. ...

This was our first river cruise vacation and after this cruise it will not be our last. It was more than I expected. Everyone was friendly, helpful and cheerful. The food was spectacular but not wasteful, we were given just enough with a variety. Every day was different and exciting. The entertainment at night was entertaining and just enough time. Every day at 4:00 was coffee and desserts..which ...

First time cruisers, wanted to do this cruise for years, decided to go up-market since we liked the idea of a smaller boat. Transfer arrangements worked well, all we had to do was be at the appointed time and place. Balcony cabin was more spacious than we expected and well designed with plenty of storage. Excellent sound insulation between cabins. Bed very comfortable and bigger than ...

Booked a 4 night cruise to Hamburg and back from Southampton with the thought if we enjoyed the experience we would then consider a transatlantic next year. Firstly the ship is absolutely stunning, the art deco design combined with modern touches was more than I had hoped for. The lounges were all spacious, never had a problem finding a seat and the waiting staff in all areas were ...

I wanted to share my impressions of our first River Cruise with Viking while it was still fresh in my brain. We chose the Swiss Alps to Paris in September because the 12 day excursion seemed just the right length to decide whether this mode of travel would be right for us. Turns out, it was perfect and left us yearning for more. From the moment we stepped off of the plane in Zurich, ...

Review - This was the perfect first time cruise for us! We celebrated 50th Anniversaries with our friends! We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary that Avalon chose for us to enjoy the Rhine River. They covered every detail which made every day a great experience. We were thankful Avalon considered all details of keeping the cruising community safe with accessible hand sanitizing stations and a ...

We chose NCL as we'd been on a few cruises before with other companies and have enjoyed them all. We mistakenly thought NCL would be similar. I would never, under any circumstances travel with this ridiculous company again and would strongly recommend others to avoid them. The ship is very nice, the staff are mostly approachable with a couple of very notable exceptions the interiors are ...

This was our fourth NCL cruise, but the first for quite a while preferring Celebrity and RCL but this itinerary included many of our “bucket list” ports, including Reykjavik and Lerwick (Shetland). It is very obvious that they are understaffed, and undertrained. The front-line help is courteous enough but not prepared or allowed to problem solve. There is lack of communication between ...
