    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.

    The food was plentiful and delicious! The room was roomy and comfortable however the washroom shower area was inadequate with a shower curtain that needed replacing. Meet many fellow passengers of different nationalities and with our limited French we had no problem communicating. Beautiful country side and a very worthwhile and informative Beaches of Normandy day tour.
