Looking for best river cruise company for a weeks cruise

Are river cruises suitable for someone with mild mobility problems? My husband doesn't use a wheelchair or walking aids but he can't stand for very long and his balance isn't very good. I would love a river cruise but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. He is in good health apart from knee problems.

Viking. Good food, comfortable rooms, attentive staff, interesting excursions or do-it-yourself trips -we rode a tuk-tuk round Lisboa and chance to meet lots of friendly travellers. We keep in touch with several from each trip we’ve done.

Has anyone been on a river cruise as a single?

Yes, me. It was so easy. Everyone was so friendly and it was the best of both worlds. Be alone when you wanted or have company. It was great and I’ve booked again for next year.

Viking.

Small boats, large well trained staff. Tables for 2 (we always choose that option) or 4, 6, 8, maybe 12 (?)

Wonderful food, fish options, vegan options. Table served dinners, optional at lunch, buffet breakfasts.

Lovely workout spaces and walking track.

Nice daily adventures, included in the price.

Beer and wine at lunch and dinner, included in the price. I believe there is a bar available somewhere. Drinks with others (not for us).

No formal night or dressing, jeans are fine at all meals.

We're big Viking fans. Our favourite river cruise was the Seine into Normandy. You can combine it with one to the south of France too. Just so relaxing and gorgeous. Viking really looks after you.

Riviera. Beautiful boat, lovely food, delightful crew. I can fully recommend them.

Viking for sheer indulgence Riviera for better value and fellow Brits . Riviera food was great when we used to use them . Choose the Danube for wonderful scenery all the trip . I took books to read and never opened them because there was so much to see . We had one Seine cruise with Croisi Uni ( not sure of spelling ) and there were loads of noisy Spaniards on it . They charged so much for water at dinner it was less expansive to buy beer. We realised that if you bought a large bottle of water you could take it away to your cabin and return with it to the dining room. We did this but filled the bottle with water we bought on shore .

We have done a Viking cruise which was pricy but nice enough fellow passengers were all English speaking, many from the US.

We love Viking River Cruises.

We like Riviera too.

Been on river cruises with Riviera and now booked on a yacht cruise with them. Always fab holidays!

Riviera are very good. We've been with them twice and are going again soon. We liked the Danube river cruise as there is a good mix of places to visit. We've also been on the Rhine and Moselle. The ships are fabulous and the staff really look after you. We prefer a standard cabin on the middle deck as we don't think it's worth the extra cost to be on the upper deck. There are superior suites if you want to push the boat out for your special celebration!
