What Our Guests Say

Donna Renzema

The Three Rivers 5.0 Excellent • September 6, 2019

"This was a great tour, great crew, great accommodations, great information.
I’ve taken many ocean cruises and a few river cruises. This was undoubtedly the best.
The crew was excellent and accommodating and the staff was always helpful. The
information they provided about each port was spot on. I took the drink package but
it really wasn’t needed. I don’t drink enough to have warranted the price, although it
was extremely reasonable. I have to mention that the showers were terrific, both hot
and with great water pressure. I will definitely be taking another trip with Teeming Cruises."

Paris and the Seine Valley to Normandy

5.0 Excellent • December 15, 2021



"This was our third cruise with Teeming River and we cannot recommend them highly
enough! We boarded within sight of the Eiffel Tower and quickly felt at home on board.
Our cruise director Kate, along with Jeff and Gina, were always available to help.
Teeming's business model of independent travel at a more affordable price really
appealed to us because we enjoy exploring on our own or with friends we've met on
the ship. We hope to travel with Teeming again soon!"

Robert

The Douro Valley Tour

5.0 Excellent • December 17, 2021
"We are frequent international travelers who enjoy making our own plans and moving
at our own pace. Before Teeming, we'd cruised with Viking and enjoyed it, but Teeming's
approach suited us far better. They provide the same quality ships, excellent food and
crew, but with the freedom to explore independently and at a much more affordable
price. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun and stress-free. At the end of the cruise the
Teeming team even arranged transportation to each passenger's next destination.
For us, the answer is overwhelmingly YES—we get to travel how we like for about
half the cost."

Delights Of The Rhine & Moselle (from Dusseldorf to Trier), 2019
"Teeming (our 3rd river cruise with them) is the best deal going in travel right now. The boats have been lovely. Great crews, food, fellow travelers, etc. You have the freedom to see each port as you wish to see it. Active or languid. Looking to another Teeming in 2020. Hope they do the Christmas markets cruise again."

Donna Renzema

The Three Rivers, 2019
"This was a great tour, great crew, great accommodations, great information. I’ve taken many ocean cruises sad a few river cruises. This was undoubtedly the best. The crew was excellent and accommodating and the staff was always helpful. The information that they provided to the passengers was right on the spot about the ports where we stopped. I took the drink package but it really wasn’t needed. I don’t drink enough to have warranted the price, although it was extremely reasonable. I have to mention that the showers were terrific, both hot and good flow, which is sometimes lacking in hotel rooms and cruise cabins. Not the case with this ship. I will definitely be taking another trip with Teeming Cruises."

Sarah Robin

Paris and the Seine Valley to Normandy, 2021
"This was our third cruise with Teeming River and we cannot recommend them highly enough! We boarded our ship within sight of the Eiffel Tower, and were able to spend a leisurely day sight-seeing in this beautiful part of Paris. Once on board, we were made to feel so "at home", and we quickly got into the rhythm of river cruising. Our amazing cruise director, Kate, as well as our hosts, Jeff and Gina, were always available to answer any questions. Teeming's business model, which encompasses independent travel and therefore a more affordable price point, greatly appealed to us, as we love to explore on our own, or with friends we've made on the ship. We hope to travel with Teeming again soon!"

Robert Cancelliere

The Douro Valley Tour, 2021
"We are frequent international travelers who like to make our own travel plans and move at our own pace. Prior to traveling with Teeming, our river cruise experience was limited to one cruise with Viking and it was a good one. Viking will pretty much get you from your front door on the boat, all the excursions and back to your front door. All that comes with a price and for those of us who like to do a little research, travel at our own pace, not in a herd following someone with an umbrella, Teeming works best. There is no mystery in booking airline tickets and hotels. English, to some degree, is spoken and understood in most countries. How does Teeming work? They lease ships with crew from established cruise companies during the travel shoulder season, so you get the same great experience and food as you would expect with any river cruise. The entertainment on some riverboat ships is what I would describe as formal, with Teeming, I found the atmosphere to be fun and more relaxed. The main difference is, the Teeming passenger is responsible for getting on the ship prior to sailing. At the end of the sail, the Teeming team made taxi arrangements to get each passenger to their next destination, whether it be hotel or airport. Is it worth it? The answer depends on the traveler. For us, it's overwhelmingly YES, we get to travel where and how we like to travel for about HALF THE COST."
