River Cruises Reviews

We chose this cruise for two main reasons, we were looking for a cruise that went to the Normandy Landing Beaches and it was a last minute bargain!!! This was the second river cruise we have been on and we didn't want a below deck cabin (like last time) so we paid a bit extra too have one of the top deck cabins with the floor to ceiling sliding doors, so we could lay on our bed in comfort and ...

We were on a Winemaker cruise as the hosts. Our previous experience with any cruise were huge ships which both of us disliked. This was so intimate and such a delightful experience! The ship's crew are beyond lovely- attentive, smiling attitudes and always asking to assist us. Our cabin was roomier than expected and we were able to completely unpack and stow luggage away. Bed and pillows ...

Scenic provide good value if you are looking for average and you’re travelling on a budget. If you’re looking for quality and pay for a premium- it’s disappointing. The notion of quality premium wines is a joke. As for food - it was mixed - we had to jump on the Scenic Ruby after flooding on the Danube and their food was excellent. The food on the Scenic Crystal was not good - 5 meals were ...

We decided to treat ourselves to a river cruise after years of watching advertisements on PBS. The Rhine Getaway provided a truly enchanting experience and provided an incredible snapshot of towns of western Germany. The changing scenery from the farmlands outside of Amsterdam to the post World War II regions around Cologne and finally the historic hill regions provided both recreational and ...

Our Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest was wonderful, the ship was beautiful, the cruise director Richard was just amazing as was his off-sider Andree. The staff on the ship were brilliant, from the cabin butlers to the food waiters. We had to change ships halfway through the cruise due to water levels and went to the Ruby. Staff on both ships were very good but I must say the food on the Ruby ...

We went on a Avalon Rhine River cruise last year and was our first trip in Europe. Avalon was so great the staff were wonderful from the captain and his crew to the house keeping staff. Everyone was so nice and the food was fantastic. So we had to go again on the Danube with Avalon again. This trip was even better the crew was fantastic crew director was top knotch. Activities were wonderful ...

Chose the cruise location of Central Europe because wanted to see Budapest, Vienna and Prague. Tauck was recommended by a travel agent and they were FANTASTIC, down to each and every detail. Food was very good, accommodations were great. With about 100 on board, the size was quite nice. They simply could not have had a better crew. The special dinners were really a nice touch. I will ...

The AmaMagna is a beautiful vessel and deserves the designation as flagship. The place has a special feeling and is warm and inviting. The excursions were plentiful but somewhat routine - more specialty outings would be welcome. The 4 restaurants were a great feature, seating and availability never an issue, Sadly, the cuisine overall was uninspired while imaginatively presented. It just lacked ...

Dates fitted in with rest of our trip. The food, staff, quality of the meals was excellent. However, there was no beautiful scenery to admire. Lots of industrial buildings and plain countryside. I’d recommend Danube to this trip. The entertainment was just right, everyone on board seemed to enjoy. Lots of dancing the night of the live band. Aida and Darren had spectacular voices, very much ...

We chose the Rhine river cruise as both my wife and I have some German in us. From the first second we arrived at the dock, until our transportation to our hotel in Basel our experience was perfect. Our check-in was seamless and our veranda suite was extremely comfortable. Plenty of space and places to store and hang your clothes. The listening devices are great on the tours. The bathroom was ...
