Paris to Europe Cruise Reviews

Our travel agent, who has been assisting us on various vacations over the past twenty years, highly recommended an AMA Waterways river cruise. We sailed on the AmaLyra and had a wonderful time. The ship was beautiful, the staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. The food was fantastic and presented by a very talented wait staff. The excursions were well thought out and the ...

This was our second river cruise. In 2018, we booked Scenic for a Danube cruise from Nuremberg to Budapest. We had an excellent time despite low water levels in some parts of the river during that trip. This recent trip began with a single night extension in Paris at the Edouard 7 Hotel. This hotel was beautiful and in the heart of the Opera District. The Scenic Gem is a beautiful ship although ...

I've had the privilege of traveling throughout Europe over the years. These journeys typically involved extensive planning, such as: booking transportation, accommodation, and mapping out excursions and activities. Then, there’s the challenge of navigating transitions between towns; driving down narrow and unfamiliar streets (on the opposite side of the road in some countries); figuring out check ...

Off ship excursions included a variety of options. Locations, frequently requiring long bus rides were worthwhile, despite inclement October weather.Tour guides were pleasant, helpful, and well informed. Our cruise director was excellent and staff would go out of their way to provide cabs, directions, maps, and walking tour suggestions. Highlights included visits to Giverny, D day beaches, and ...

Our original intent was to see the Normandie Beaches and MT Saint Michel, but we decided to roll it all into one with a river cruise from Paris and the add on post extension. We are glad we did. To see Paris correctly, one would need a week, but we still got to see the major sights and the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. The cruise also took us to incredible sights of castles, chateaus, gardens, ...

One of the best features of river cruising is the friendliness of fellow passengers. With mostly American and a few Canadian and Australians we enjoyed some interesting discussions, particularly amongst those who had visited our homeland Scotland. Impressed with the Cruise Director Simona, very confident and professional throughout; leading and involvement with every aspect of the cruise, ...

My wife and I took a New England cruise out of New York a few years ago and had a good time and saw interesting things, but it did not compare in the slightest to a river cruise on the Seine with Viking. The sights on the tours were amazing and wonderful, but just sitting on the balcony and watching the French countryside go by was also great. There were a large number of swans on the river and ...

We have traveled with Viking on both River and Ocean cruises and enjoyed all that we have taken. Itineraries are interesting, educational and take you into the history of the location. The Paris to Normandy cruise allowed us to spend time in Paris both before and after the cruise. We visited historic sites that included Palace of Versailles, Monet's home and Garden in Giverny, and the ...

This cruise was Paris to Zurich. I had never been on Viking before. I was immediately impressed by the evident organization regarding check-in, baggage labeling and handling, and room assignments. The cruise was well planned with multiple excursion choices. On excursions, every guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We had plenty of time during each of the excursions and enjoyed each. ...

A river cruise with history filled days and social festivities at night really appealed to us. The Rhine cruise really had so many things on our bucket list. The tours were fun and informative and the nightlife on the ship was really great. Although this was our first river cruise Viking will be our go to cruise line because everything they did was top notch. The staff amazing, the kitchen ...
