    This is a well organized and efficiently run cruise operated by a sincere and enthusiastic staff. From the moment we told Marta we did not speak French, and she said “That’s a problem,” the staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Tour Radar is misleading by calling this an English guided tour. Make no mistake, this is a French tour run by a French company out of a French city. Almost 90% of passengers were French with a dozen Spanish speakers and two English speakers being us. Despite that, we had a great time and made friends with a wonderful Spanish couple.

    Wonderful scenery and the crew of the MS Symphonie Croisi Europe made our trip very special. The weather was also on our side.

      I've updated the pricing on the left side of this page to reflect 1 traveller in a Upper Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cat C - Single (CABIN SIZE, WINDOW/BALCONY) onboard the MS Elbe Princesse.
