- IFIzabella· August 27th, 2025We liked the food and service, but don't like that Crusemundo don't deal with problems with excursions. Many complaints before us. Not a good situation for the company. There was also a problem to regulate water temperature in the shower that most rooms have. No phones in the rooms to connect with front desk.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
Michael· August 16th, 2025We enjoyed our journey in the Duoro Cruiser. Our room was great, the service good and the food was excellent. Our only disappointment was the destinations we docked at for the night were very small towns with limited entertainment. If you weren’t doing an excursion you were stuck. I wouldn’t get a drinks package unless you are a heavy drinker.Show moreTrip date: August 2025- PBPennylynn· May 9th, 2025Very affordable and good quality for priceShow more

Hope to see you soon, CruceteamTrip date: August 2024 - JUJean Marie Crea· April 12th, 2025Despite the fact that we couldn’t go through some of the locks and dams because the water was too high the staff made arrangements for bus excursions so we were able to see more of the countryside than might have been possible.Show moreCrucemundo commented on this reviewDear Jean Marie, Thank you so much for your understanding and positive feedback!

- NRNancy· April 4th, 2025First trip of the season; high water levels prevented us from going past the first lock. The only day on the original itinerary that happened as planned was the last day, Sunday, a full day in Porto. However, I must give very high praise to the cruise director Augustin, the ship's crew, and Crucemondo for rearranging things and giving us an excellent experience, including complimentary excursions to two locations, and meeting the challenges from being where they hadn't planned to be.Show moreCrucemundo commented on this reviewDear Nancy, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

- Anthony· September 14th, 2024The facilities and crew were excellent. The food, bar staff and housekeeping were amazing but the lack of opportunities to undertake any tours as they were all pre booked was very disappointing. The cruise guide Tatiana was very polite and friendly but as we had no tours it would be hard to rate so my rating is purely on the lack of opportunity to do tours. The entertainer was great and really tried to get people involved and dancing. A suggestion would be to have spots available for all guests on board for any tours you offer or don’t do tours ??

- DGDonald· September 4th, 2024The aspects related to cruising on the boat were excellent. Great staff, great food, great service. Our main gripe is that when the boat docked for people to go on tours, there was really nothing for those not touring to get off the boat and have a look at. We would have liked to participate in some of the tours, but the passengers who had booked in bulk groups had had the opportunity to pre-book tours. Subsequently, there were no places left o those tours for people who booked singularly.Show moreCrucemundo commented on this reviewDear Donald, Thank you for your kind words about the staff, food, and service.

- Doug· August 28th, 2024I would have given this five stars if the excursions had been a bit better organised. The on board experience was great. The food was first class and the service even better.

- denise· August 26th, 2024The boat, the cabins, the staff, the food, the drinks, the service were all excellent- well done! The excursions package was changed not long before we went, to a lower value programme, which involved NOT going to Salamanca, which most of the guests on board wished to visit, to instead visiting a sardine canning factory!!! The tour guide Isabelle did her best, the guest guide Stephanie was fantastic, but the programme had obviously ben down marketed, a real shame!Show moreCrucemundo commented on this reviewDear Denise, Thank you for your kind words about the boat, cabins, staff, and food.
