What a surprise! We booked this cruise at the last moment and had no idea what to expect! This river cruise was unlike others we have been on. Only 59 passengers, and we were the only Americans. There was a mix of French, Germans, and a British couple. Three languages were used for everything, including the excursions done in three groups separately with three guides. The best thing of all was the food! French chef gave us the best meals we’ve ever had on any trip! I can also say the crew was exceptional - every single person! We were pampered like royalty. Also, alcohol was all free, if that is important to you. This cruise was only 6 days but we would have enjoyed it being much longer.Show more

Reply from: CroisiEurope River Cruises
Dear Mr. Williams, thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your cruise. We are glad to read you enjoyed your experience with CroisiEurope. We are sorry if the WiFi was not working for several days. Sometimes the reception depends on the navigation and the places the ship is. We will let our I.T department know for improvement. Best regards, CroisiEurope Customer Care Department
