- YYvette· July 22nd, 2025The staff and food on this trip were excellent. Our room was very nice and clean, with great views. The only difficulty we ran into was that only one of the excursions was offered in English, as the guide found out there were English speakers and she was happy to translate. It would have been more economical (and more enjoyable) had we just paid the entrance fee and got the headphones with English. It would be great to see a system out in place for some recordings or other devices to allow the English translations, as technology is simple now. Other than that, the trip was wonderful and exactly as described.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
Lillian· July 9th, 2025Overall it was a great cruise. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Excursions were very good and I would recommend taking them. Food was very good, but you had no choice unless you advised prior to meal that you wanted something other than what was being served that day. If you want a true French experience than this is the crusise for you.Show moreTrip date: July 2025- Samuel· June 18th, 2025Ship MS Van Gogh Staff friendly & very...Show moreTrip date: June 2025

- Semyon· June 13th, 2024It was our first ever river cruise. Prior to this we've done quite a few sea cruises. Quite a bit of a difference! But we loved it! Much, much smaller ship with only about 135+ passengers, one dining room and a bit smaller cabins. But this cabins have a huge windows and we could see the rivers flow and the all the surroundings close by. Staff was very friendly, food was excellent, a few nights of the entertainment was fun and the all of our stops along the way, visiting small French villages, were very interesting. We'd recommend this cruise to anyone!Show moreTrip date: May 2024

- Christine Louise· May 1st, 2024What a lovely trip, we were very pleased with our comfortable cabin. The crew could not have been more helpful, in fact they were so helpful. The food was incredible every day, not anything we didn't like, it was a very varied tasty menu. We would certainly recommend a Croisieurope cruise to anyone. The places we visited were very interesting and the organised tours well organised and a great introduction to some historic interesting places with guides who knew their subject.Show moreTrip date: April 2024
