Review summary

Planned this cruise over 3 years ago but it was cancelled multiple times. Would not recommend any river cruises at this time. We managed to be Covid free up until this cruise. No monitoring and no masks on board. Many people coughing the entire cruise. Multiple people noted to have fevers. We both ended up with Covid at end of cruise. Can't protect yourself in such closed quarters with everyone else sick. Travelled on land in Portugal for 8 days before cruise with absolutely no problem.

Ship tip

Don't take a river cruise. Ended up with Covid which was rampant on the boat. No one was wearing a mask. Multiple people in rooms with fever, etc. Avoided getting Covid for 3 years until took this cruise!

Unfortunately when in a congregate setting, the chances of Covid and any communicable disease increases.
