Luxury Cruises Reviews

This line offers you 1 free tour a day but most of the tours are 8:30-9:30 .When asked about that they said they can only get guides at that time .Baloney other cruise ships offered late morning or early afternoon tours.Why should I have to wake up early and gulp down breakfast on a vacation.I can see some tours like Ephesus that can get very hot and crowded.Also in Santorini why not contract for ...

First, let me say that I really enjoyed my 9 day cruise on Ponant’s Le Jacques Cartier. The trip started in Istanbul and ended in Venice. It’s a luxury cruise line and much to my liking, it caters to the small passenger market. I believe there were 164 or so passengers on the cruise. So it creates an environment that caters to meeting people and moving about at an easy pace. None of the facilities ...

My overall comment on this cruise through the Adriatic is that it completely sold me on Silversea, and I already have two more cruises booked for next year. I will go into more detail below, but I think in general, one piece of advice I would give to anyone considering a cruise to any destination or on any line right now is this- do not expect things to be as they might have been before the ...

Back to cruising after the pandemic hiatus, phew! One week around the Baltic, stopping at some fascinating new places and enjoying what felt mostly like Mediterranean weather came as SUCH a tonic after so many months of dreaming of the sea…. Any initial trepidation about COVID procedures and protocols was quickly quashed by the efficient way in which requirements were communicated and then ...

We chose this cruise for the "island hopper" itinerary with many new-to-us ports (Minorca, St. Tropez, Corsica, Sardinia, Malta etc). It was definitely H-O-T in August 2022! We enjoyed the cruise very much. We did miss our stop in Toulon due to weather (a fierce storm that resulted in some local deaths from flash flooding). We did not use any ship's excursions (one we thought we were ...

A trip on Cunard had been on my bucket list for some time, after recently losing a couple of close friends way to early in their lives we decided it was time to start to realise some of our dreams before it was too late. As DH was very apprehensive about Cunard being too 'posh' and 'stuffy' we decide on short 7nt cruise on QV to the Fjords (QV221) long enough to warrant the long slog down south to ...

We had done several Viking River cruises and were very happy with the experiences. We had been on two Princess Ocean cruises and wanted to try the smaller and more upscale Viking variety. Scandanavia had always been on our radar. and we got an offer from Viking that was too good to pass up, so off we went. The ship was beautiful with so many wonderful spots to view the scenery or read a book. We ...

This cruise was booked and paid for in 2018, then canceled and delayed due to Covid. Needless to say, we were thrilled to finally be experiencing this highly anticipated vacation. And Viking met or exceeded our expectations, mostly. The ship itself is stunning - tastefully decorated and beautifully laid out. There was absolutely no sign of any wear and tear, at least to us, as other reviewers ...

Originally chose this cruise for the itinerary. Sadly, St Petersburg was removed due to the invasion of Ukraine, but Viking added beautiful and interesting ports as replacements. The service on the ship is impeccable. Food and beverage delicious. Plenty of interesting things to do in port and on-board. I did tire of the time spent on large touring buses on excursions, but honestly, most of ...

This was our first cruise. Because of our health and age, my husband and I no longer wanted to do the hard trips by ourselves. We have traveled all over the world for the past 30 years, made all the arrangements ourselves and loved mostly all our trips. Viking was an incredible treat for us. We knew this trip would be different as we boarded the ship. Everyone was so happy to see us! We were ...
