River Cruises Reviews

Our first Viking Cruise was canceled due to COVID. So when my friend from Kindergarten and her husband invited us to join them, we immediately said yes. The Alsvin Ship cruise and crew were amazing. Every crew member, the hosts, the servers, the receptionists, the housekeepers, the chefs, the captains, the tour guides were so very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Prior to embarking on the ship, we ...

On March 6,2024 we arrived in Cairo and were met immediately by a Viking guide who quickly moved us through immigration and out to a waiting van. The airport was very hectic and it would have been most difficult to negotiate it without the help of Gerkis, our Viking guide. After a harrowing drive through the chaotic streets of Cairo, we arrived at the Fairmont Nile City Hotel. It was definitely ...

The ship was beautiful the food was excellent and service was great. Bartenders very personable and knowledgeable. The bad was the excursions. Getting from the hotel to the ship involved waiting at a lunch place for 3 hours and getting from the ship to the Memphis hotel took a 5 hour bus ride and a 1 hour wait on line to check into hotel. They should have handed out the keys on the bus as you came ...

This was a dream cruise for me and a high school friend. The time of year was perfect because it became early spring and none of the towns were crowded. Saw UNESCO castles and churches and Roman ruins -- and got to know some very sweet small towns where we docked by just walking around. Everything on the ship was ideal, from room to views to tours to food. It was fun to try the regional dishes ...

We chose a Viking river cruise for our first ever cruise based upon research and reviews, and we were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped onto the Alruna, we were made to feel at home. From our room steward, to all the wait and lounge staff, we were very spoiled. The cruise director was definitely an “energizer bunny” who was always helpful and on top of things. We absolutely felt as if ...

My recent voyage of discovery to Antarctica, South Georgia, and Falkland Islands on Eclipse 1 with my husband (John) is nothing but praise. We were welcomed on board by the Captain. Followed through into the lounge area where we met the Restaurant Manager who remembered us from a previous cruise. We were introduced to many crew. After a welcoming drink and made to feel special, it was time to ...

"You are about to embark on the trip of a lifetime" - this was the line many of the expedition staff said to us in their introductions on Day 1 of our Antarctic expedition and how true these words were. After a bit of researching of trips to Antarctica, I contacted iExpedition, and had a phone consultation with one of the staff Ben. This discussion had lots of invaluable information and ...

This is our 5th cruise with AmaWaterways. This time, on the “doublewide” AmaMagna. This February 18 2024 sailing was one of the first Feb sailings offered by Ama. The ship is amazing, same capacity (198) as a narrower River Cruise ship, but twice as wide. Huge staterooms, 4 eating venues, a library, cinema and wellness studio. The crew, even though only their 2nd cruise together, was totally ...

My wife and I wanted to travel up the Lower Mekong and chose Heritage Line's Jayavarman and what a good choice it was. We couldn't have been better served if we wanted on our 7 night cruise from Saigon in Vietnam to Siem Reap in Cambodia, with our every need being catered for. The ship was very comfortable with excellent accommodation and facilities. Food and on-board entertainment was ...
