Viking Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

I have never river cruised before so my family chose Viking for the value of the package. I thought since the average age is 60 we would have a lot of down time. Not at all. We enjoyed every minute and the programs. All the included tours were fantastic and you still have time to do something else on your own if you wish. The only stop, which was the Black Forest, was a let down but after that ...

My best friend of 60 years and I decided to take this cruise at the recommendation of her daughter and it was truly amazing! However, we did NOT get started on the "best foot". Our ship, The Ve was in dry dock when we arrived in Amsterdam with "maintenance issues". We were supposed to be able to embark on our ship at 12:30 p.m. and all throughout the day, we were "updated" with various times, ...

The room has strong odor of sewage backup. This would spread of disease. Eventally lots of people were sick. They got diarrhea or coughing. I and my wife got coughing and took 3 weeks to recover. Reported the problem but had a bit improvment only. The bath room ventilation fan didn't run. We were told to change ship due to the low water level. The new ship has simila problem. You can hear water ...

We enjoy cruising with 40+ year friends. Weather was great, rained only one day. Found the Rhine to be an interesting mixture of industrial and nature. We had lived for three years in Germany but had never visited Koblenz or Cologne, thinking that they were too industrialized, but we were wrong. Service was terrific as always. The musical entertainer was average at best, and I would have ...

This was my first Viking cruise and it was fantastic, better then I ever expected. The staff was outstanding, the tour guides hired by Viking were knowledgable and entertaining. My only complaint was the cruise was over to fast. The food on board was eating at your favorite restaurant every night. The nightly port talks by the program director were great and very informative. Real helped set up ...

We chose this cruise to sail the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel, which included the scenic Middle Rhine, and offered interesting excursion stops along the way. The cruise was very relaxing and we were well taken care of by the crew of the Alruna. The food was great as advertised. Although one of the local tour guides was all talking and virtually no walking, the other guides were knowledgeable ...

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary on Jul 21, 2023. We decided to treat ourselves and chose the Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. We arrived a few days earlier to visit family in Amsterdam. Viking made all the arrangements and were were very happy. We truly enjoyed how Viking made the trip flawless, relaxing and even when we had to switch ships due to low water levels, it ...

We have done several ocean cruises but this was our first river cruise. The Rhine is known for castles and cathedrals and this cruise visited 4 countries, Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland, so it seemed to be a good choice and did not disappoint! One of our best vacations ever! Viking did a great job with all the details from airport transfers, hotels, excursions and of course dining. ...

We had a great experience on the Rhine River with Viking. Viking exceeded my expectations! All the excursions were well planned and timely. The included excursions were very good. Viking had there own fleet of coach buses for the excursions and they were all very nice. All the tour guides were top notch...either currently lived in the towns we were touring or were former inhabitants. This ...

We loved this Viking River Cruise! All the tour guides were super knowledgeable about all the areas we explored. The food was excellent and the Staff was friendly and helpful. The Castles we saw on the Middle Rhine and the Black Forest region in Germany were the highlights. I also loved the little village of Barr near Strasbourg France. We did a Wine Tasting tour there. Our cabin was comfortable ...
