Mediterranean River Cruises Reviews

I was having a big birthday & wanted to treat myself to revisit Venice after 50 years or so. The cruise began with two days in a hotel in Milan then moved along to the cruise ship to cruise the Po river & Venice lagoon for the next week. I did sign up for an optional trip to Lago di Como from Milan but on that tour we spent most of our time on the bus due to so much traffic to & from. ...

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 ...

I chose this cruise because we have seen many of the other rivercruise sites (Rhine, Danube, etc.) and didn't want to see Russia at the moment with the Ukranian war going on. So, we thought that seeing southern Spanish towns would be a good choice - and, it was. I doubt we would have visited Cadiz or a couple of the other small towns had it not been for this cruise. The pro's : - This cruise ...

Now guys Im a scenic tragic with almost all of my cruising experience on Scenic river boats with this being the first on their "mega " yacht Eclipse. Let me say from the outset it looks spectacular with an outstanding interior finish ,paintings and general overall "vibe" ( aussie expression for the feeling of the thing) It has many excellent features ....good gym, excellent dining ...

We have been on the Athens to Malta and Malta to Lisbon cruise from 31st of May to 18th of June 2022 (booked in 2016 for 2017!!!) Here just a quick report about the Scenic Eclipse. We are not so happy with the Scenic Eclipse. I had a bad accident when I had to evade another person in the corridor and bumped into a handrail that was sticking out. The Scenic Eclipse is a great ship but has ...

Let me first say that we found the boat, its crew and the cruise excellent and enjoyable. That said, Emerald's admin in the UK beforehand left a lot to be desired. A query I sent on 21.3.22 was never answered and, nearer our holiday, they were impossible to contact by phone. To top it all BA cancelled our flight the day before departure! We lost nearly 1/2 our cruise as a result and didn't ...

The La Belle de L'Adriatique is a old vessel with a capacity of 150 passengers. We cruised the Adriatic Sea from Dubrovnik to Naples. I would not recommend this vessel for those expecting a luxury cruise. I think the European market is a better fit, but not for the American cruiser that expects a certain standard. The lounge on this vessel is the ugliest I have ever seen on a cruise ship. ...

Emerald would like to think that they are on the same level as Avalon...not so. They have a long way to get there. The rooms are small and you can hear the toilets flushing all night long fro the nearby cabins. The bathrooms are small and difficult to maneuver for the average sized adult. The Cruise Director although pleasant, was new to the industry and needs more experience. She ...

Do not take this tour if you have any mobility issues at all. When I booked this I was told that the tour buses let you on and off throughout the towns . "All you have to be able to do is get on and off of a bus". I was lied to. The walks are long and at times challenging to and from the ship and buses, as well as on the excursions. Even on the "easy" excursions. We paid cab drivers (50 Euros ...

Price & itinerary were what we were looking for. Also had read that the Radiance was a new ship (built in 2017). Ship very modern and clean with much chrome & glass. Found that layout of public areas (restaurant & bar/lounge) were quite crowded, with furniture almost on top of each other. Food was pretty good, although some foods at breakfast buffet were cold when they should not have ...
