We just did Bordeaux cruise via Senic. If you are used to ocean cruising beware. River cruising is a totally different experience. (We usually cruise Seabourn or Silverseas). River cruise rooms are MUCH smaller! Not much area on the ship to have privacy. If river is too low or too high the boats can't go anywhere and you will end up taking bus trips.. Senic is considered to be top of the line and serves very good wines. The food options aren't comparable to ocean cruising...much more limited, but good.
Note: The excursions for this cruise include long bus trips.
I wouldn't suggest this as your first river cruise. You'd be much better off staying in Bordeaux, which is an incredibly beautiful city, and driving day trips to the surrounding towns and wine regions.
