Christmas & New Year River Cruise Reviews

“We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere onboard, the attention to detail and the celebration.  Put together with the beautiful landscape and the boundless energy of the staff who looked after us so incredibly I absolutely recommend the experience.  So much so that we have booked to go again this year, on a different river but for two weeks and not one and more friends are coming with us.” Mrs E, West Midlands

 

“What a lovely way to spend Christmas.  Waking up Christmas morning in Budapest and finding that Father Christmas had been was such a treat.  I’ve not stopped talking about the cruise to my friends since I returned.” Mrs M Price, South Wales

What are our customers saying?

Having spent weeks searching through the various River Cruise Brochures on offer, I resorted to surfing the web and found Global River Cruises. From the outset they were most helpful and quickly identified a cruise which met the requirements of a party of six first-time River Cruisers.
