Customer Reviews

    · September 27th, 2025
    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.

      Yes, you are welcome to bring your baby with you on board, free of charge up until 2 years old at time of departure. Please bring all necessary equipment and supplies such as a portable baby bed, strollers, baby carriers, diapers. Due to space constraints, everything has to be stored in your cabin and can not be placed in hallways or other common spaces, so any collapsible stroller etc would be recommended.
