- 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. Wonderful sites for excursions but rushed in solely 4 hrs daily. very regimented however in terms of meals etc. French passengers nasty, arrogant and ride to Americans and Canadians and for this would not take French liner again.Show moreTrip date: April 2024

Asked on September 13th, 2025In May 2026 my wife and I would like to travel from Porto to Salamanca and not return to Porto. Is that possible?
CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written September 2025We do not have a cruise that ends in Salamanca, as Porto is usually the start/end city. If you wish you are more than welcome to embark on this cruise and cut it short in Salamanca, but there would be no price reductions for unused portions of the cruise. Would you like us to share pricing and relevant details?

Asked on September 4th, 2025I'm interested in a simple sight seeing Douro river cruise from Porto to finish in Salamanca and eventually Madrid 5-7 days one way only. Is there anything available in late August 2026?

Asked on February 13th, 2025Is this sold out?? It's for 1 Australian adult who does not want to share.
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written February 2025
Due to the popularity of the Douro during May, this itinerary is completely sold out. Would you like us to find you an alternative?
- K
Kathryn
Traveler•Written February 2025Yes please - anything that is an actual cruise on the river for several days.
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written February 2025
We wanted to let you know that due to the Douro being a very popular and fast-selling river, single cabins tend to sell out extremely quickly as they are in high demand. While we had identified one available single cabin with one of our luxury operators, it unfortunately sold out while we were in the process of providing you with this information.

Caroline
Traveler•Written February 2025The cruise is too long (8 days) and it cuts across something else that we have organised after 6th September. When I go on to the tour website, it still says that there are 10+ spaces available, and in fact I could have booked it now if I wanted to, so I'm not sure where you are getting your information that it is sold out?

Asked on September 21st, 2024Is there any adult only cruises?
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written September 2024
CroisiEurope cruises typically cater to an older demographic, with the majority of passengers being in the 50+ age range. It's very rare for the cruises to have children booked. The 18th of June 2025 departure for this cruise is fully sold out, however, we do have the next available date on the 20th of June 2025.
