    · June 2nd, 2025
    The boat, the crew, the food and the itinerary were all excellent. I also enjoyed very much our tour in northern Romania, particularly Transylvania. However, the excursions were all a bit similar: always a church, a fortress, a monastery (if there was one), but no chance to see any art galleries or other cultural outlets. There was also scarcely any time to buy essential goods, such as medicines, as we almost never went near any shops, except to walk past a few bars and restaurants, mostly. I caught a kind of flu with upset stomach too, so it was not until the last day in Croatia (Ozijeck)

    Es war alles toll organisiert. Trotzdem waren wir enttäuscht, weil wir nicht zum Donaudelta gefahren sind. Das war unser eigentlicher Reisegrund.

    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.

    Can you pls resend this email. I can't open the rest of the page because it is saying that someone is impersonating Tour Radar. Also, I'd like to know if the land tours are in French.
