USA River Cruises Reviews

We recently traveled with Viking from New Orleans to Memphis and overall we had a great time. The food was great and the two large dining venues and staggered excursion departure times do a good job of separating guests so you never really felt like you were traveling with nearly 400 other people. Most of the guides for our excursions were outstanding. We loved the WWII museum and think it ...

We loved the cruise on Florida rivers after many cruises in the gulf and oceans we enjoyed the calm river cruise The ship was a bit dated but the crew and personnel were very attentive. Food was excellent with many choices and sometimes high level entrees like lobster and prime rib. A smaller ship with only 90 passengers allowed us to meet many of the passengers. The tours were well done ...

The ship was beautiful the food was excellent and service was great. Bartenders very personable and knowledgeable. The bad was the excursions. Getting from the hotel to the ship involved waiting at a lunch place for 3 hours and getting from the ship to the Memphis hotel took a 5 hour bus ride and a 1 hour wait on line to check into hotel. They should have handed out the keys on the bus as you came ...

This company has gone down hill. This was our second cruise with American Queen. We took the Queen from New Orleans to Memphis in Nov 2019. It was amazing; great food; great service; great tours. We were so excited to go on another cruise after the success of our first one. We were so disappointed with the Empress. Between the cruise and airfare, we (my husband and I) paid almost $10,000. ...

The boat holds 22 passengers and we only had 9. The service onboard was top notch. The food and cocktails were super. The expedition leader, Jeremy, was so knowledgeable and offered options for every level of activity. We hiked (easy and moderate), kayaked, and rode a skiff daily. There were evening talks and movies. The staff was friendly and always helpful. This was the San Juan Islands ...

My husband and I were excited to celebrate our 40th anniversary on a cruise to New England and because of the internet description we thought American Cruise Lines and the American Star would be a good choice. The cruise dates were September 9th through the 16th. We were disappointed from the moment that we walked on to the boat we noticed that the boat was older and in poor condition. ...

We planned and looked forward to the Pearl Seas St. Lawrence /Canadian Maritimes trip for some time. We enjoyed a great variety of different kinds of port experiences enroute and the cruising views were lovely. We were very pleased with the service, comfort, and itinerary we experienced on this trip. The excursions off ship were great and included nature, museums, art, and more. The evening ...

This was one of their longer Great Lakes cruises and we loved it in every way. Highly-recommended! We can't say enough about the ship, the itinerary, the food, and the staff. With just one only one ship in their fleet—the 210-passenger Pearl Mist—Pearl Seas Cruises is a player in northern U.S. and Canadian waters, offering up fall foliage cruises along New England and Canada, sailing the St. ...

Beautiful ship with lots of room to move about on four decks. I enjoyed watching the sunrise as we came into several peaceful ports. We enjoyed hot showers, full size bathroom and comfortable bed to sleep in. We had so much to do as we toured the lakes eating in a five star restaurant. We had the best excursions on the Great Lakes stopping at the best towns. We participated in the painting ...

My summary of our Pearl Mist cruise was fabulous. We boarded at lunch time and sent to the dinning room on the first deck and the crew took our luggage to our well decorated and roomy stateroom with a balcony. The ship is well organized and clean with all nice furnishings. We were very comfortable in the new chairs in each room. Nico the bartender remembered our beverage request for the whole ...
