Dreadful food

This cruise was a shocking disappointment to me. It was marketed as a Christmas market cruise, however, the Christmas markets were not open in all of the ports we visited! The food was unpleasant, and I struggled to find anything that was palatable. The steak was rubbery, the lettuce was brown. The German night dinner provided a variety of sausages and pork, most of which was cold, it was ...

It was nice, but the ocean cruises are much more luxurious

I wanted to see Vienna & Budapest, so I got that accomplished. Frankly, though, I think that I would've preferred to simply rent a car and drive to these places for a whole lot less money. The ship was basically a floating hotel - there isn't much in the way of amenities on the ship other than a restaurant & lounge (which wasn't really much different than the restaurant). The piano player got ...

I Loved the itinerary and all the ports we visited. The guides were very informative, although the excursions were very strenuous. Excursions were definitely not for the weary traveler. They were interesting and worthwhile. The service was impeccable, from the front desk who went totally out of their way to please all the guests. Very capable & friendly. The cabin person was adorable and ...

We were asked by one of our relatives who had been on a Viking river cruise 5 years earlier if we would like to join them on the Beautiful Danube cruise this year. We decided to join them. I must say that from the time we landed in Budapest until the time we let Munich for Chicago, the service we received was spectacular. They met our plane in Budapest and got us to our hotel. They had a service ...

This was my first travel experience outside of the United States; I had no expectations or prior experience. I knew not what to expect. From the time we landed at our destination city, Budapest, until we departed Prague, Viking handled every single detail without a flaw. We faced river challenges and transportation changes, and Viking was on top of everything and kept everyone on board ...

We were invited to accompany some friends on this cruise and the ports sounded interesting. There were 8 of us in total. This was the first river cruise for all of us. We had all gone on many ocean cruises covering just about all cruise lines. Our first three days were rainy and windy and we were not able to enjoy the ambience of the upper deck. Beyond that Viking and the crew did their best ...

We always wanted to sail on the beautiful “blue” Danube. We enjoy the rich history and culture of Europe opposed to going to resorts like Cancun and the like. We are not beach people. We took an excursion at every port. The guides were always very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We especially loved Salzburg. While in Salzburg we purchased a beautiful water color by a local artist. ...

I wanted to visit some major cities in Germany, Austria and Hungary. This cruise blew my expectations out of the water for a river cruise! The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable! The decor of the entire shop was beautiful! The fresh flowers everywhere were such an exotic touch. The coffee station was awesome and every coffee choice delicious. The cleanliness of the entire ship was impecable. ...

Viking Cruise: The service was top grade. They only wanted to please us and were always so polite. The food was excellent! We had many choices and were always pleased! Our explorers suite was great with lots of room to relax. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We had an included excursion at each stop the ship made. The guides were great and let us know about each place we stopped. ...

We received an Email with an offer of free air travel, we were planning to travel to Scotland renting a car and explore Scotland and England. However the cost of air fare and car rental was the same as the cruise, so we decided to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised. We had an extension in Budapest for 2 nights the hotel was amazing. We used hop on hop off for the 2 days and enjoyed our ...
