CroisiEurope River Cruises Ship

Customer Reviews

    · June 6th, 2025
    Our first cruise with CroisiEurope. We have cruised this itinerary previously with APT/Ama Waterways. This Croisi Seine Princess Itinerary was great as ship docked in Honfleur enabling a whole day and evening there. To fit our itinerary we chose this 6 day cruise which does not include stops at Les Andelys or Giverny. Bonus was Paris nighttime cruise at the end as this ship is permitted upstream where other cruise ships are not. Ship is comfortable, clean well equipped and crew very welcoming and friendly, especially Purser Maryline who made extra effort to ensure the small group of English speakers were included. Food quality excellent. Fixed 3 course menu lunch + dinner and open bar from noon. All crew speak English. We rate this very high - extraordinary value.

    Second time on a Croisy cruise. Lovely comfy cabin, the River Seine was beautiful. The food again was outstanding. We shared a table with a couple from England and a mother and daughter from Sydney. Great company and 5 days of almost non stop conversation. We also spent a lot of time talking with 3 french women, particularly enjoyable for my wife whose prime motivation on these trips is to talk french.

    A high value cruise down three rivers and a canal with stunning views and exquisite weather. So much fun, entertainment and sheer pleasure. So well organised with a multitude of onshore activities and onboard relaxation. Scrumptious food and bottomless drinks. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and courteous. This is a must do.
