- RERichard· May 9th, 2024Really appreciated the combination of cruising and hiking, plus excursions for non-hikers so they weren't neglected. Accommodated food needs creatively, although the gluten-free option - while better than previous experience with CroisiEurope - could still be improved. More gluten-free chocolate croissants! Nice selection of evening entertainment. Never a dull moment; but one was able just to sit and read or watch the scenery go by if wanted. Although we choose CroisiEurope partly for the French immersion experience, being paired with other English speakers at meals worked very well. Our American compatriots were grateful to have English-speaking companions, and for us it relieved the intensity that would have been entailed by full French immersion. Thanks for organizing perfect weather! ;-)Show moreTrip date: April 2024
- AFAdele· April 28th, 2024overall great ship and crew. wonderful staff.

Being forced to sit at the same table each meal without having to choose one's fellow diners in the first place was not pleasant. Staff were rude and unhelpful, happy to stand and watch without ever offering assistance.

Asked on November 19th, 2022what is the cost for a solo traveller
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written November 2022
Due to the popularity of this cruise itinerary, the May 2023 departures are all sold out. The next available departure is 8-13th June 2023, 12-17th June 2023, 17-22nd June 2023. There is limited availability of cabins on these dates. If you let me know which date suits you, I could reply with the pricing and details for a solo room for the cabin category that is still available on those dates.

Asked on October 6th, 2022Is it possible to go only from Porto to Salamanca one way, and if so, what is the price?
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written October 2022
Porto - Salamanca: It is possible to join the cruise and depart from Salamanca, but you will have to pay the full cost of the cruise. 12th August 2023 is still available but not all cabin categories can be booked, some of them are already limited. The Main Deck is already sold out.

Samantha
Asked on June 25th, 2022We are looking for a one-way cruise from Porto to Vega de Terron. Is it possible to get a prorated rate to just take the first half of our 6-day cruise that goes there and back?
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written June 2022
It's usually no problem to embark late or disembark early but it must always be approved by the operator, and may not be available at all docking locations. However, please note, the operators do not offer any discounts in these cases and the full rate for the full cruise would still be applicable, so I would advise against it.

Fiona
Asked on January 2nd, 2022Hi there do you have rates for May/June 2023 please?
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written March 2022
We are still waiting for the 2023 departures for this cruise to come out. Are you still looking at doing a river cruise in Portugal in May and June of next year?

- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written September 2018
Once you are onboard the cruise, all of your meals including breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided for the whole duration of your cruise. CroisiEurope is very proud of the meals they serve to passengers and you will probably experience some of the best French and European cuisine at their tables. Depending on the excursions planned, some meals may not be provided on board however if this is the case, it will be clearly stated in the cruise programme. Breakfast is usually a self-serve buffet in the onboard restaurant, which may include pastries, coffee, tea, juice, breads, jams, a variety of sausages and cold cut meats, eggs, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. Lunch and dinner will be a 3-course sit-down meal and is served at set times and in single seating for all passengers. Both lunch and dinner meals are paired with excellent complimentary wines for you to enjoy.

Jacqueline
Asked on September 26th, 2018What dress code is expected onboard?
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written September 2018
CroisiEurope has more of a relaxed dress code onboard compared to other cruise lines and it is recommended that you will be most comfortable during the day in smart casual clothing and casual dressy in the evening. You may wish to bring items that do not wrinkle easily, or that transport well after being ironed at home, as there are no irons provided onboard. Croisi recommends bringing a variety of clothing for the environments expected during your cruise, including light clothing and bathing suits for hot weather, a sweater or jacket for cooler weather, and of course a raincoat and/or small umbrella. For sightseeing excursions, we recommend bringing comfortable and sturdy walking shoes.
