We just finished a Viking River cruise on the Danube and are interested in booking another trip. Some of the fellow passengers mentioned SeaDreams. Does anyone have experience with both of these companies that can offer some comparison?
Things we enjoyed about our river cruise that we would want again: cleanliness (our boat was impeccable); updated and comfortable cabins, small boat experience (we are not interested in large ocean liners); good service from staff; interesting stops and excursions; good food (we felt the food was good—some days excellent; some days average).
We were younger than the other passengers but we did not mind—we stayed with the tours for a little while and then broke off to do things at a faster pace. We also signed up for a lot of bike tours which we loved. It was a nice combo of active and relaxing. Other passengers mentioned that SeaDreams offered a more “active” experience so that’s what prompted us to research it; however, many of the photos I see on various blogs, etc show very dated and dark rooms.
Seadream is known for its luxurious yachts and personalized service, which could provide a similar level of comfort and attention to detail that you enjoyed on your river cruise. While some reviews mention that the rooms on Seadream yachts may appear dated in photos, the overall experience and service are highly praised.
If you're interested in exploring more cruise options, you might want to check out these cruises from Baltimore, Maryland. These cruises offer a variety of destinations, including the Caribbean, Bermuda, and New England. It could be a great way to continue your travel adventures with a focus on cleanliness, comfort, and personalized service!
