Customer Reviews

    · 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 cruise on MS Symphonie was excellent. The boat and our cabin in particular were comfortable and well equipped. The food was very good, tasty, beautifully prepared and presented, with well-sized portions, and a wide variety of French cuisine including many regional specialities. The included wines were varied, delicious and demonstrated an interesting range of French varieties. The range of the other drinks on offer was also very satisfactory. We did not feel it was necessary to try any of the paid drinks but it was nice to know they were available. Service was excellent in all categories: efficient and friendly. We only took two of the optional excursions (Strasbourg and Colmar) and both were well organised and very interesting. We would happily take another cruise with CroisiEurope.

      Unfortunately, the replacement is only Croatia and part of the charm of the other was it was several countries off the Adriatic Sea.
