    The CroisiEurope River cruise was a wonderful experience. This is my second time sailing with this operator and they never fail to provide an exceptional experience. The crew, food, drinks and general atmosphere was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending this river cruise. My experience was so good I leaving on another of their river cruises next week.
