The food was a lot better than I thought a buffet would be. The salad was delicious. The peel and eat shrimp was flavorful even w/o cocktail sauce. The chicken, fish and roast weren't dried out. The veggies had some crunch and flavor. The part that needs to be worked on is the bartenders I asked for a cosmo and I'm pretty sure I received a basic vodka cranberry... and it had an orange slice in it ‍ My boyfriend asked for an old fashioned... it wasn't good either. I figured maybe they didn't have limes but then we ordered margaritas and lo and behold! The lime that should have been in my cosmo/ vodka cranberry The views were awesome. We managed to get under cover seconds before the skies opened up and started pouring They had a dj on the top deck as well as a bar that only served beer and wine. Overall, we had fun and would do it again. I'd recommend this to anyone.

b&b riverboat princess cruise

It was my first time on a B B Riverboats cruise and it was a blast. I got to see the Cincinnati skyline and Newport in the Northern Kentucky side. The buffet was good with pasta and salad and other things. I paid $5 for a souvenir cup that gave free refills on any fountain Pepsi product while on the ride. The staff was great in taking of the guests in my group. I enjoyed Banjo Bob who entertaining with the banjo and giving a tour of Cincinnati and Newport. The boat ride was breath taking and worth paying $15 for the special photo of my group coming from Columbus, Ohio. I want to do it again, but at night with a buffet dinner of Steak and Seafood and I would stay the night in Newport or Cincinnati. Thank you, B B Riverboats for the wonderful experience and would love to experience the Cincinnati skyline at night.

Taking a lunch cruise was very enjoyable. The people at B&B are professional and went out of their way to please people. The lunch buffet was ok in taste and variety. I wasn't wowed, but I was full and nothing tasted bad. The 2 hour trip was fun and I learned a few things about the river and the surrounding areas.

I went on a lunch tour with a group of women. We had a buffet lunch in a private room. The food was good. The chicken was a little spicy for me. We had one server who was doing her best to take care of everyone's drinks. Staff was very personable and helpful. The tour guide did a great job and even played and sang for us. It was a very relaxing tour. The boat is big enough that we never felt crowded. Parking is free. The building before the tour was large, clean and comfortable.

My friend and I attended a Murder Mystery Cruise. The bathrooms in the main office were filthy. The cruise itself was very disorganized. Brochures stated that boarding was at 6:00pm, sail time 6:30pm. Boarding didn't begin until 6:35. There was only one bartender serving drinks. Dinner seemed rushed. This gave little time to read the rules for the murder mystery game and discover clues. Once the game began it was quite enjoyable and the actors playing the characters were quite entertaining. It was a good time, but could have been a great time had it started on time without all of the rushing.

b&b riverboat princess cruise

My wife & I had a really fun experience on (7/4)!! The boat was very clean, and the staff were kind and pleasant! I'd like to compliment the Captain (man), and I guess, co-Captain (lady), who were so very sweet to my wife, as I purchased the "Captain" package for her, so she was issued a cap, certificate and they brought her up to the bridge, so she could put her hands on the wheel!!

If I could it a 0 out of 5, I would. It's basically Golden Corral on the river. The Admiral isn't worth the price, "your table" is elbows to elbows with someone else and its buffet style so you only get waited on for drinks (which costco more)

Photo of Mariah S.

Not great food. The boat took off at 7 and they started taking the food away from the buffet at 7:20 with no announcement. We hadn't even finished eating. The boat ride was nice but would not do it again

Photo of John B.

Very outdated. It's good if you come once every 3 years maybe or four, but the river boats are very outdated. The carpet's bad however the food's good but everything in it is outdated

We would like to thank you very much for making the arrangements for our river cruise from St. Petersburg to Moscow in Sept-Oct. We were very pleased with every aspect of the cruise. The accommodation and the meals were excellent, the staff very knowledgeable & courteous, the quality of the tours was excellent. We found the lectures on the boat very interesting & everything possible was done to make sure the tourists had a wonderful experience. Thank you, too, for arranging the hotel for us the night before the cruise. It was in a great location & very comfortable. All aspects of the trip were wonderful & it was great value for money spent. Our sincere thanks.

We just wanted to thank you again for your help in setting up our Russian cruise. We've appreciated your support all the way through - from taking us through the complex paperwork of the visa application to talking to our taxi driver in St Petersburg to make sure that we were in the right place. Great service! We absolutely loved the cruise! We learned a lot, relaxed a lot and were dazzled by beautiful cities and landscapes. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Russia. Thanks again!

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

A russian land tour or a river cruise - which is better.

This decision completely depends on your preferred way of travelling. During the Russian river cruise you will not only visit the two largest cities of Russia, but also small towns and villages along the route and you will have a chance to participate in master classes, learn a little Russian language and dive into local Russian culture and hospitality. For those who prefer custom-made programs and more free time in the cities of their choice we recommend a land tour, both are excellent options. To find out more about the differences click here .

Do I need a visa for a Russian River Cruise?

If your citizenship is not on the list of countries with visa-free access to Russia, you will need a valid Russian visa. Please make sure to start the process in a timely manner, so as to avoid any last-minute pressure. More details on Russian Visas can be found here .

What is the best Russian river cruise line?

There are several Russian river cruise lines. Each cruise line offers a number of ships and programs at different price ranges. You call feel confident in choosing any of them. All of these cruise lines are well trusted and have been in business for a long time. We also recommend checking guests' reviews and asking our reservation specialist for more details regarding any concerns.

How far in advance should I book a Russian river cruise?

Usually the cruise operating companies set their schedules and prices well in advance - at least one year before the actual cruise starts. So, we may recommend that you book your cruise and place a deposit as early as possible so that you have enough time to arrange all other components of your journey. Please also note that cruise cabins sell out quickly, so it is always a good idea to book your cabin of choice in advance.

What should I pack for a Russian River Cruise?

The weather here can be unpredictable. So first of all it is important to have comfortable clothes and some wind/waterproof items. We highly recommend that you check our new article that contains full information on packing for a Russian river cruise .

What is the voltage in Russia?

Russia uses 220V voltage as does most of Europe. So before packing your devices, do not forget to take a proper adapter, so you may recharge all of your devices with no stress. For more information please see our useful tips .
