    Excellent ship and service. As an English speaker we’re made to feel special and welcome. Excursions were just right with knowledgeable guides. Meals were delicious and varied. Overall a fantastic experience along the Douro!

    Really appreciated the combination of cruising and hiking, plus excursions for non-hikers so they weren't neglected. Accommodated food needs creatively, although the gluten-free option - while better than previous experience with CroisiEurope - could still be improved. More gluten-free chocolate croissants! Nice selection of evening entertainment. Never a dull moment; but one was able just to sit and read or watch the scenery go by if wanted. Although we choose CroisiEurope partly for the French immersion experience, being paired with other English speakers at meals worked very well. Our American compatriots were grateful to have English-speaking companions, and for us it relieved the intensity that would have been entailed by full French immersion. Thanks for organizing perfect weather! ;-)

    overall great ship and crew. wonderful staff. Wonderful sites for excursions but rushed in solely 4 hrs daily. very regimented however in terms of meals etc. French passengers nasty, arrogant and ride to Americans and Canadians and for this would not take French liner again.

    This was not a tour I can recommend if you like flexibility. Being forced to sit at the same table each meal without having to choose one's fellow diners in the first place was not pleasant. Staff were rude and unhelpful, happy to stand and watch without ever offering assistance. Itinerary was good and saved the tour from scoring even less.
