Well organised, excellent food. Unfortunately, most announcements and tours were in French so a crew member had to interpret for me!

Being a French Cruising company the food was amazing, 3 course lunch and 3-4 course dinners every day. It was a fixed menu however they do accommodate dietary requirements, The cruise staff were very friendly and helpful. Whilst the ship is older than your higher priced cruise operators it is very comfortable and clean, you get to cruise past the same scenery and visit the same ports.

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.
