Luxury river cruise in France

picolo · February 21, 2006

My husband and I have decided to book a one week luxury river cruise in France. We have found a website http://french-waterways-cruises.com which proposes a very interesting offer. We would like to have some testimonials of people who have already lived this experience or your felling about this offer to help us to make the good choice!

We've considered river barge tours, but the price has always been too high, and we've been unable to come up with a group of the right size. We would comment on the "very interesting offer", but we can't find it on the web site.

We note that this is your first posting on Cruise Crazies. Welcome to our friendly boards!

Did a 15 day river cruise from Amsterdam to Vienna last summer and loved it. We used UniWorld for our cruise, looks like a bigger boat that what you are considering. We had about 100 people on ours, which was a fun size. Rooms, food and shore excursions were outstanding.

Will do another one day, but probably not to France.

Read some amazing things about river crusing in USA TODAY, i belive it was the friday edition. The differance seems to be the quality of the food. smaller the boat, better the food is basically what it said.

I have no doubt concerning the food on la Bonne amie or le Bon vivant barge. I saw the menu (http://www.french-waterways-cruises.com/en/meals-wines/) and it looks really refined!!!
