AHI Charter on Amadeus Diamond - There are better choices for river cruises

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Amadeus Diamond

I sailed on the Lueftner Amadeus Diamond on the Seine, roundtrip from Paris, departing Wednesday, September 20. This was a full-ship charter by AHI (Alumni Holidays), including a couple dozen guests from Smithsonian Journeys. My second deck cabin with operable window was in the $650pp per day range, cruise-only, so this was not inexpensive. I chatted with the ship’s Travel Director to be sure ...

Viking Danube cruise was fine

I chose this cruise because I wanted to do a river cruise. Viking may be the best river cruise operator but I found the cruise to be average. When we went to destinations, we were all on buses following a leader with a paddle board…..and not only would our 190 passengers be there, but several other Viking ships’ 190 passengers. The bedroom was small, the food was good. I did not like the ...

Great itinerary, level of service doesn’t justify the price

My wife and I have always wanted to go on a river cruise after about 20 ocean cruises. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary so took the plunge! The Rhine River is fantastic and we high recommend this itinerary, starting in the Amazon city of Amsterdam and finishing in Switzerland! We found that the level of service and cuisine was comparable to our ocean cruises, usually on Royal ...

We're (79 and 74 year olds) and have previously traveled on 6 ocean cruises, 3 of which were Viking Ocean cruises and found them perfect. We have also traveled on 4 river cruises on other carriers and found them excellent. This was our first Viking river cruise. We've been to several European countries but never France and thought a cruise of the south of France and extension to Paris would allow ...

The cruise was lovely overall and we will most likely do a second cruise with Ama.  I do want to point out a few things that the majority of the passengers on our cruise found very annoying! We never got a good description of what the excursions would include.  It was very difficult to decide which outing to take with such limited information.  For example:  1. On Sept. 14, we were docked in ...

A Good Trip But Not Up To The Expectations Set

This was our first AMAWaterways cruise. We typically ocean cruise with Seabourn and when we decided to try a river cruise we asked our travel agent, Which river cruise company is closest to Seabourn? Without any hesitation she said AMAWaterways. We choose the Flavors of Portugal & Spain because we had never been to Portugal and the website touted great food and wine while sailing the Douro. Based ...

Loved the ship and locations, didn't like the lack of care for people being sick

We chose this cruise as it would take us to places we have not been too, or places we would have never gone too. The scenery from the ship was mostly farmland and forest, but once on land there were many wonderful things to see. Food was very good, and the portions were smaller so you never left the table stuffed. The wait staff was excellent. My only concern was by day 4 people were ...

Amazing Itinerary

We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus. The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...

No pre-cruise contact by AQV. Booked 4/2023. Called early August to see if they were still cruising 9/3. Received boarding documents 2 weeks before cruise. That was all the pre-cruise information. Staff on board were terrific. Very friendly and helpful. River talks were highlight of cruise. Lots of information and good insights on Lewis & Clark, native Americans and history of the Columbia ...

Took cruise to see the iconic sights of France- Province regions. Great seeing France. Lovely wineries and scenes. Great history. Overall a lot of money for having to serve myself twice a day with buffet. Standing in a lineup to get food everyday and jostling for seating each meal. Food seemed rationed. Continental Breakfast for early birds was small muffins and croissant and a couple of ...
