After much dithering we have booked a cruise with Fred Olsen. Have always gone with P & O before but really like the smaller ships so,thought we'd give Fred a try. Just a short one cruising the Seine, so no long days at sea.

Lucky lady , We always go with P&O too but I wouldn't mind trying Viking cruises for a change , when are you going ?Im not fat just 6ft too small -
Next May, Oma. We'd looked at Viking but really didn't want the hassle of the travelling to pick up the boat. We like the short drive to Southampton, only takes us about 45 minutes.
Friends have gone with Viking, they really enjoyed it. The live very near Heathrow so not much travelling for them."Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Dr SeussComment

We like to leave from Southampton too , its a very long drive for us and we often stop off over night half way as its too much for B ,but its worth it for the ease no flying no baggage allowance everything taken care of when you get to port , lovely

Enfys - that sounds lovely, and as you say, going from Southampton is brilliant.
It sounds very romantic, cruising along the Seine in May"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "
