Which River Cruises did Jane McDonald take?

Jane McDonald is known for her love of cruising and her enthusiasm is infectious.

“I just have a passion for cruising. I love it, absolutely love it.” Cruising with Jane McDonald Channel 5.

It took many years for Jane to discover river cruising and when she did – she loved it. She enjoys every aspect of the experience including the beautiful scenery and view from her balcony, the delicious cuisine, and the chance to explore cities, towns and villages along the way. She enjoys the company of her fellow travellers and enjoys sharing her experiences.

“It’s for people who are keen to see more of the cities: you get a lot longer in them than on an ocean cruise stopover, and of course you can get straight into the city centre. The ship is more like a floating hotel.” https://www.radiotimes.com/travel/jane-mcdonald-why-i-love-river-cruising/

Jane’s top tip:

“Comfortable shoes are the best thing I can recommend to anyone going on a river cruise. Don’t be like me and pack high heels – I had to go and buy some flats!” https://www.radiotimes.com/travel/jane-mcdonald-why-i-love-river-cruising/

Jane enjoyed several river cruises, and the details are below, making it easier to find them on Channel 5 or YouTube.

Jane’s first river cruise (Season 1, Episode 3, aired on February 24, 2017, on Channel 5) was on the Danube . She’s delighted with the luxurious Uniworld’s S.S. Maria Theresa. Jane explores the river’s charm, visiting the Széchenyi Baths in Budapest and meeting a princess in Vienna.

The adventure continues as Jane travels on the Rhône River in Season 2, Episode 3 (aired on September 15, 2017, on Channel 5). Her ship is the stunning Avalon Poetry ll. From Lyon’s celebrated food market, Marche Paul Bocuse, to a hot-air balloon ride over the beautiful French countryside, Jane’s journey is a tapestry of new experiences and breathtaking landscapes.

In Season 3, Episode 3 (aired on February 23, 2018, on Channel 5), Jane commences her Mekong River exploration in Ho Chi Minh City, delving into the vibrant sights, sounds, and cuisine of Vietnam. The voyage takes her to Cambodia, where she visits a floating market before concluding at the ancient Ankor Wat. She’s onboard the beautiful AmaWaterways AmaDara.

The Mississippi

The exploration extends to New Orleans in Season 3, Episode 4 (aired on March 2, 2018, on Channel 5), where Jane immerses herself in the city’s atmosphere before embarking on the world’s largest steamboat, the American Queen, along the Mississippi. From piano bars to former plantations, the journey unfolds with a mix of entertainment and historical insights.

Season 5 takes Jane to Portugal (Episode 2, aired on April 19, 2019, on Channel 5), where she starts her adventure in Porto and cruises down the river Douro , exploring Lamego, Vila Real, and the Spanish city of Salamanca. Her ship is the contemporary and luxurious Emerald Radiance.

Continuing the exploration in Season 5, Episode 3 (aired on April 26, 2019, on Channel 5), Jane delves into the vibrant city of Kolkata in India, experiencing traditional wrestling and sailing on the sacred Ganges onboard Ganges Voyager II. The journey unfolds with visits to historic cities and a deep immersion into local culture.

The Indian adventure concludes in Season 5, Episode 4 (aired on May 3, 2019, on Channel 5), with Jane’s cruise on the Ganges reaching its zenith at the sacred city of Mayapur. Post-cruise, she explores the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur, Agra, and culminates her memorable journey with a visit to the iconic Taj Mahal.

The Lower Danube

Christmas Markets

The festive spirit takes centre stage in the Christmas Special (aired on December 23, 2017, on Channel 5), where Jane celebrates Christmas aboard the five-star Uniworld SS Antoinette while cruising the Rhine. The episode captures the magic of European festive markets, unique customs, and a musical performance, concluding in Switzerland.

In the 2020 Special (aired on December 18, 2020, on Channel 5), Jane revisits two festive cruises with unseen footage. Starting on the SS Antoinette and then aboard the Coastal Express in Norway, she indulges in Europe’s best Christmas markets , unique traditions, and encounters a swimming Santa at Scandinavia’s biggest natural aquarium.

American Queen Steamboat - New Orleans to Memphis cruise

We booked this cruise as part of a package (2 nights New Orleans, 7 night cruise and 2 nights in Memphis). Hotels were mediocre with poor service so I would recommend booking your own stays. Whilst I complained to AQSC about this they offered nothing in compensation other than some on-board credit should we decide to do another of their expensive cruises. The steamboat itself if a quaint and well maintained vessel. It's decor is set Having watched Jane Mcdonald on TV doing the same cruise we expected at least a welcome when we first boarded but other than a man checking ID on entry there was no one there. We found our room relatively easily and found other amenities quite easily. Our room was compact but comfortable and kept mostly clean (other than under the beds which had a thick layer of dust). The food and service at mealtimes was excellent. The boat itself is decorated in the late 18th century Antebellum style. The ladies lounge as well as the dining room were lovely and my favourite rooms. The places we visited along the Mississippi river were interesting and varied and we learnt a lot. The tours organised by ASQC were good but pricey. The ASQC have their own coaches which follow the riverboat and when it stops they can either take you to your organised tour or act like a shuttle, taking you into and from town for free. The entertainment on board is OK although more suited to the older generation of passenger which this type of cruise attracts and was mostly the same small group of performers most days of the week. I wouldn't say the caliber is Broadway as advertised but orchestral team were very good. I found this cruise very 'chillaxing'. There was always room to sit somewhere nice and it was never hurried or noisy like larger cruises. It was a great way to see the Mississippi River and places I would probably never have visited or learnt the history about. I'm not sure I'd do another similar cruise but all in all it was a memorable holiday.

I took a cruise from New Orleans over 600 miles up the Mississippi to Memphis aboard the Ameican Duchess, a padedle boat that held about 160 passengers. It made daily stops where a bus waited to whisk you to various points of historical interest. There was a sameness to the views of the river since both sides had levies and were, for the most part, tree-lined so you could not see much of the countryside. There was occasional river traffic which was mainly tug-boats pushing large barges carrying freight up and down the river.

We had a great time on the American Queen Steamboat going up the Mississippi and the week was fantastic. The positives about the American Queen Steamboat cruise were: 1) The boat is exquisitely decorated; 2) the food and the coffee were excellent at both of the restaurants including room service; 3) The entertainers and the band were wonderful and so entertaining. The shows were amazing. The entertainers were sweet and funny plus they all have great voices; 4) The beds were comfortable; 5) The bathroom is a full size bathroom and it even has a tub; 6) The rooms facing the river are roomy with comfy chairs. We didn’t even purchase the largest room either. There were two or three room sizes that were larger than ours and they cost more; and 7) they gave all of us metal water bottles that we could continually fill up at the filter stations. All of the staff from the Captain to the Engineering Department was so friendly. The attendant for our room was a real gentleman and had a great personality. He didn’t seem to mind taking care of our rooms. The servers in the dining rooms really tried to accommodate us and they were so sweet. Setting outside on the deck porch by our rooms was so relaxing and fun watching the sun go down and the moon going up. One night, we actually saw a large Harvest Moon. The excursions and the hop on/hop off tours were so informative and fun. The American Queen Steamboat had every step of the way figured out and everything ran so smoothly from getting on and exiting the boat. Just go to all the informative meetings that they have for the cruisers. There are only a few items that they should think about. First, the WiFi needs some improvement, second, the rooms have really thin walls (we could hear the other rooms televisions, when they would cough we could hear it and when they had friends in their rooms we felt like we were part of the party); third, they need to have more channels especially HGTV and the Hallmark stations. You can tell that a guy picked the channels. Fourth, there needs to be more photos of all the rooms on their website so we can decide which one fits us. Fifth, our room was three rooms away from the paddle wheel so our doors and lights rattled including the metal grate by our room rattled all night. Especially, since the boat would wind up their steam and paddle wheel and cruise fast up the river. We think the captain should go fast during the day and go slower at night so our rooms wouldn’t rattle.

I'll start by saying that the boat itself is the star of the show. It is BEAUTIFUL. They set out to create a nineteenth-century river boat on the Mississippi River and they accomplished that task. This is an authentic paddle wheeled River boat on the Mississippi River. The river is truly mighty and it is muddy. Unless you are in a port there is very little to see along the Mississippi other than muddy water, passing barges and trees. Frequent and unpredictable flooding keeps development away from the river banks. Very enjoyable sitting on the front of the boat in rocking chairs or other outdoor areas just watching the River roll by. Now, for the practical stuff. We had an inside cabin and it was tiny... the beds are less than a twin bed, there's barely enough room between the beds, storage space is very limited and for two people to try to navigate the room at one time was difficult. The food is comparable to any cruise setting, very good. The service was not quite up to par with ocean cruising and sometime it is a bit slack. The sheets kept coming off the bed during the night; just one of those little irritating things you remember and the room steward never did totally remake the bed. The beds were very comfortable though. 'Just didn't feel pampered like I do on ocean cruises. There are no private balconies. Outside cabins open up to a veranda that goes all the way around ship. Waiters do not walk around, you get your drinks yourself from the four bars. This is a small boat, only a little over four hundred people are on board. The entertainment is just okay. The best entertainment was the day we missed a port due to river traffic and the stage band cut loose with an impromptu Jazz session! Bottom line, if you would prefer rocking chairs and peace and the slow pace of life rather than casinos and fun in the sun this is your cruise.

A walk along the river front on the wharf is a great thing in the evening with a cool breeze coming off the river, ships cruising up and down stream and the lights on the GNO bridge and downtown buildings. It all makes for a very pleasant experience.

We had a lovely week on the American Queen fulfilling a lifetime ambition to see the river and its adjoining towns. The positives were the atmosphere on the boat was great taking you back in time to the 19th century. The hop on hop off excursions were very enjoyable and worked well giving lots of opportunity to see new places, museums and antebellum homes that will give us memories for many years. Entertainment was all singing but of a high standard. The negatives were the noise from the diesel engines to generate power and steam, This can be overwhelming and is very obtrusive in places like the restaurant and our cabin sat above a generator and it felt like we were sleeping next to a washing machine on a constant spin cycle. If you plan to travel make absoloutely sure you get a quiet room. Our inside cabin was the smallest room we have ever slept in and there was insufficient space for a bedside table.Also the smell of popcorn in the front porch is nauseating and off putting. Food is a similar standard to an ocean cruise. The staff are generally helpful but many seem to have little training and do not compare to the professionalism of ocean cruise staff.

Jane McDonald Travels with Luxurious Silversea in Latest Episode of Cruising With

Author: Isabella Sullivan

Published on: 18 December 2019

Updated on: 07 October 2022

The Queen of Cruise toured the Adriatic on luxurious Silver Shadow…

Cruising with Jane McDonald is back on our screens, and this week’s episode sees the Queen of Cruise travel in uber-luxury.

Journeying around the sun-soaked shores of the Adriatic, Jane stepped on board six-star cruise line Silversea’s 388-passenger ship, Silver Shadow .

Airing this Friday (20 December), viewers will be able to watch Jane dock at popular stops along the Adriatic coastline, including Dubrovnik , Korcula, Venice , Split and Kotor .

While in Dubrovnik, Jane enjoys a half-day buggy safari and cable car experience, taking in panoramic views of the city.

Next, Silver Shadow docks in Korcula, where the Queen of Cruise takes a boat to the neighbouring island of Orebic – known for its stunning coastline.

Showing off the diverse destinations available on the cruise, Jane then spends the night in Venice, where she has the chance to visit the renowned Murano glass factory.

After that, it’s back to Croatia to visit Split, before finally stopping at Montenegro’s breathtaking coastal capital of Kotor.

“We are delighted to welcome Jane back on board and we know how much she enjoys the Silversea experience,” said Peter Shanks, Silversea’s UK & Ireland managing director.

“This Adriatic adventure really captures why the Silversea experience is so unique and how you can travel deeper to discover the hidden gems of the Med by sailing with us. I’ve seen the episode and I know it will be an enticing journey for current and future guests.”

Guests who have recently sailed on Silver Shadow will notice some differences, as since the filming in autumn, the ship has undergone a makeover.

Renovations included the creation of a new atrium area on deck 5, and major enhancements to all guest suites, corridors, and many public spaces, including a remodelling of the ship’s La Dame restaurant and Connoisseur’s Corner.

The next episode of Cruising with Jane McDonald featuring Silversea will air this Friday 20 December at 9pm on Channel 5.
