France River Cruises Reviews

We had a great time! Every detail was taken care of. What was especially helpful was the direct flight and the assistance with food prep due to my spouse having a food allergy. The maitre dee always brought the menus the night before so there were no surprises. I only wish that the second leg of the journey aboard the Hermod had been equally impressive. Unfortunately, it was not. Not once did we ...

B-to-A March 23-30 on Tialfi. With no preconceived ideas what to expect, I was blown away by our Viking experience. We did the 3-day pre-cruise in Lake Como. One memorable detail of many that stood out was quality of local tour guides on each excursion: very knowledgeable on history from ancient times to present, culture and customs, entertaining and seemingly able to field any question the ...

This was my first cruise and I have been totally spoiled by Viking. The staff, the well appointed stateroom, food, activities - all amazing. I liken a gigantic cruise ship to a resort and a Viking Cruise to a mega road trip. If you are interested in the details, history, nature, meeting people and being spoiled, then Viking is for you. The Rhine cruise was so much fun. The staff is so willing ...

This was our first river cruise and we absolutely loved it. The ship was nice and small to navigate and the service was intimate. The cruise director was so knowledgable and friendly. The rooms were so clean and inviting. The entire ship was new and did not look run down for how old the ship was. Each meal was a 5 star meal and it was very delicious! Each destination was amazing and the ...

Our first river cruise was an enlightening experience. With two ocean cruises in our past, we were skeptical of the significant cost difference between a river and ocean cruise but soon realized you do get what you pay for. Far more intimate service, better food, and attentiveness on excursions. AmaWaterways is top notch and we couldn't say enough positive things about our cruise manager, ...

This cruise was absolutely spectacular! The ship was beautiful, the scenery and excursions were breathtaking and the crew was outstanding. Gabriel took amazing care of us from start to finish. George took care of us as most of our meals onboard and he was fantastic! I’m sure the crew on other cruises are wonderful as well, but it makes me want to go back and sail with this exact set of amazing ...

This was my first cruise of any type and my first visit to Europe. I don't believe there could have been a better way to experience either of these firsts. Viking is terrific! We arrived two days early in Amsterdam and had a great time touring the city. We were somewhat tired when we boarded our Viking ship but the entire crew made those first couple of hours so relaxing and comfortable. And it ...

I chose this cruise because my dear friends louise and don cox recommended it. they have been on 7 previous viking river cruises. The food was fabulous, the side trips were amazing with wonderful knowledgable guides. The busses, canal boat, and train used on the side excursions were top of the line. The waiters, expecially alexandra and rudy, were super efficient and friendly; the ...

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 ...

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 ...
