What travelers are saying

"Summary over a cruise on the Haute Seine and Yonne on a barge. As seasoned cruisers, knowing well all aspects of cruising on seas and rivers, we had no experience about traveling on a barge in a canal. It was also time to overcome this lack. A number of companies offer this kind of cruising on barge with 8 to 16 passengers, however very often at exorbitant prices. Luckily, we discovered that the company CroisiEurope offers one week cruise on various canals in Europe, at very decent price, especially considering that all is inclusive (full board, all alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and all excursions) on modern barges with a maximum of 22 passengers. We opted for the barge Ms Deborah, which cruises on the canal de la Loire, with the Briare to Nevers’ route. We were looking forward to this itinerary because the proposed excursions particularly suited us. Unfortunately, only a few days before departure, we were informed that due of a lack of water in the Loire canal the Ms Deborah was switched over to the Haute Seine and Yonne for a new itinerary from Paris to Sens. Despites the fact that this new itinerary didn’t really meet our desires, especially the excursions, we decided to accept the change. Our group of 6 persons from Switzerland was very warmly greeted by all members of the crew when arriving on the quai de Grenelle in Paris where we see the MS DEBORAH for the first time, our floating home for the week. With its two dominating colours blue and white, it is difficult not to fall in love with this beautiful small ship. We were invited immediately for the welcome cocktail during which we met officially the crew and the other six individual passengers originating from New Zealand, England and the USA. With less time than it needs to tell, the relation between us was created, so that everyone felt part of a bunch of friends knowing each other for long time. There is no need to present here the MS Deborah itself, as this is already thoroughly done on the Cruise Critic page. The crew of 6 persons is composed of a captain, a sailor, a cruise director, a chef, a waitress and a cabin hostess who put all their efforts to satisfy the passengers and offer them the best possible service. The captain as well as the sailor are always trying to make passengers at ease, answer questions or even bring a drink. The lady cruise director is omnipresent, taking care of the passengers better than a mother hen would do. The talented young French chef aims to produce dishes which please everybody. His outstanding sauces and excellent desserts should be particularly praised. However, referring to comments we made during a cruise on the Seine Princess two years ago, we cannot understand that why today it is not possible to offer the choice of a light buffet at lunch instead a three or even four course menu! The always smiling and friendly Hungarian waitress was very caring and attentive, without forgetting the cabin hostess doing a great job in the cabins, the public spaces and even the kitchen. It wouldn’t be fair to name a single person as all members of the crew, without any exception, do all they can to make the cruise unforgettable. Our one-week cruise on the barge Ms Deborah enables us today to make the following comments: ~ a cruise on a barge cannot be compared to any other kind of cruise ~ despite all the comfort offered on modern barge, one must be very aware that life on board happens at a restraint space, requiring therefore much flexibility and understanding in all aspects from all passengers ~ in our case, being only 12 passengers, we had the opportunity to take our meals on the terrace. We also never had the feeling that the boat was overcrowded. This can be different when the ship is full, especially by bad weather ~ the state of mind between the passengers who are mostly of foreign nationalities, who don’t know each other and don’t speak French, must function well right from the beginning ~ if the interrelation works, it is difficult to find a more relaxing and enjoyable way of travelling ~ the success on a barge is mainly due on the quality of its crew. Ms Deborah’s crew members have quickly created a family spirit on board, showing also that they genuinely like what they do ~ excursions can play a major role in choosing an itinerary. Not speaking French or English can be a handicap Do we recommend to do a cruise on a barge? Yes, definitively! It’s affordable, the atmosphere on board is unique, the routes can be very interesting. In our case, this second try with CroisiEurope gives them a better note."

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

Luxembourg Tour Selection Trips

  • Seek a Luxembourg tour that falls between May and August for the sunniest, driest weather. Bring warm clothes because even summer evenings can get cold.

    Don’t get confused when you hear three different languages being spoken - French, German and Luxembourgish. After all, it’s not every day you visit a true trilingual country.

    While you can do a fair amount of trekking on the country’s many forested trails, there are no real mountains here - in fact, the highest point doesn’t even reach 2,000 feet.

    This is a decidedly rural country apart from Luxembourg City.

    Although it’s one of the safest countries in the world, Luxembourg tour travelers should always be aware of purse snatching and pickpocketing.

    Have time for just one really cool thing in Luxembourg City? Make it the Bock Casements, a series of tunnels built in medieval times to harbor soldiers.

    Love wine? Make your way to the Moselle River region near Remich for incredible wine-tasting opportunities. Make sure to try the famous Luxembourgish pinot.

    Most tourist attractions close at 6 PM, even in the long daylight hours of summer. Plan your Luxembourg tour stops accordingly to avoid disappointment.

    Pop in to a supermarket for an incredible selection of local and immigrant-inspired specialities, including Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Indian and Chinese.

    As a founding member of the Eurozone, Luxembourg uses the Euro as currency.

    The ATM network is developed and available just about everywhere, including the smallest villages. Debit cards are almost universally accepted, but credit cards may not be accepted at some of the smaller businesses.

Additional details

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

Europe put a travel ban on the United States as of July 1. This means that Luxembourg has opened its borders to international travelers but US travelers are not currently included.

There is no mandatory quarantine.

Travel to Luxembourg: quick facts

  1. May to August are the warmest time to visit Luxembourg. Other months, bring layers and raincoats and umbrellas. Summer evenings can be quite cool.
  2. Luxembourg is a true melting pot, with almost half of its 600,000 inhabitants being immigrants - mainly from Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal and Italy.
  3. This is the smallest country bordered by three countries: France, Germany and Belgium.
  4. Luxembourg is the only grand duchy in the world, headed by a grand duke instead of a king.
  5. Luxembourg consistently ranks as one of the wealthiest and most developed countries in the world.
  6. There are three official languages here: French, German and Luxembourgish - most residents speak all three!
  7. The common greeting with a Luxembourger is three kisses (not just two as in many other European countries).
  8. The country ranks as incredibly safe, very clean and takes its recycling very seriously.

Common Luxembourg Tour Lengths

Whether you have a full day or a full week, a Luxembourg tour can easily hit the highlights. Those passing through for a day may choose to center their stay on Luxembourg City, the engaging capital with its MuseumSmile, fantastic art offerings and renowned architecture.

Travelers with anywhere from four to seven days will have ample time to explore the country in depth, from the charming villages and old farm houses of Guttland to the nature parks of the Ardennes, from hilly Mullerthal to the romantic wine towns of the Moselle River valley.

What’s the Weather Like in Luxembourg?

Temperatures do vary quite a bit throughout the year in Luxembourg, but if you’re looking for the hottest months, time your Luxembourg tour for July, August or June (in order of warmth). Generally, it can feel cool for about half the year with a good chance or rain or snow the rest of the year. Your best bet? Dress in layers, and be flexible!
