Viking Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

It afford us the opportunity to see many cities on Europe's rivers. The cruise overall was fun, interesting and diverse. I wish Viking would have more opportunities to explore cities on our own. It seemed the only way to get to cities was to take an excursion. Wish there were shuttles to leave the ship just to go into town. If you did not do an excursion, you were stuck on the ship. Viking ...

Although we've done many previous "big ship" cruises this was our first Viking River Cruise. I must say the experience was outstanding! Though due to low water we had to switch ships at the end of the 1st week from the Viking Magni to the Viking Baldur, even that was an adventure. The entire cruise was very well organized from excursions to arrival/departures. The itinerary (the Grand European ...

We took this trip after planning it 4 times, we finally got to go (covid/covid/family medical issue, and 2023 we went!). It was a great experience overall, with a few minor hiccups. We had to transfer boats half way through due to low water levels, nothing Viking could control, and the transition went smoothly but it was a day lost of our trip and 4 hour bus ride which wasn’t ideal. Food and ...

First time as "cruiser". Having heard horror stories about the popular ocean cruise lines kept me from booking those trips. The entire trip with Viking was top of the line. Finest possible choice. From my arrival at the airport in Amsterdam to escorting me to the security entrance at the airport in Prague; I never felt alone or lost. The Viking staff didn't just say "Good Morning" , they ...

We wanted to try a Viking Cruise since we had heard many good things about them. We chose the Grand European for the itinerary/towns and rivers traversed. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the help of the cruise staff. The included and optional tours that we took were excellent and informative and most of the guides were top notch. The food on board was of great quality and variety. Loved ...

Absolutely one of the best if not “the Best” cruise we’ve done ! The meals both on and off ship were far above any we’ve had on previous vacations ! The regional dinner selections every night on board knocked this cruise cuisine out of the park ! Having less passengers than the big cruise ships allowed us to be more personable with other guests and staff. We had a blast with the generational ...

This was our first trip to Europe and our trip did not disappoint. Our trip exceeded expectations at every turn. One of our concerns was how the dining service would attend to my husband’s food allergy. They were so thoughtful and served his correct meal each time along with the other diners at our table. Our room was comfortable and well attended. Our ship was clean and well managed. Our ...

I had an excellent time aboard Viking Alruna. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. They took my food allergy very seriously, with the Maitre D finding me every morning to tell me what dishes I would be able to eat that day. The food was excellent, as was the bar. The waiters and bartenders were very kind and helpful, with great suggestions and conversation. The lounge was very fun to ...

We wanted to do something special for our 50th anniversary which was in December prior. My husband had always talked about these cruises and we wanted to do the Grand European to get the most time in. Everything was nearly perfect. It was great right from the transfer from the airport in Amsterdam to the ship and then from ship to airport again at the end. There was one hiccup in the middle of ...

We chose this trip based on recommendation of close friends. We traveled from Amsterdam to Budapest on a wonderful 14 day cruise that we had been planning for 2 1/2 years. We visited Amsterdam, Kinderdijk, Cologne, Koblenz, Miltenberg, Würzburg, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau, Melk, Vienna and Bratislava. We saw Windmills, Castles, Palaces, and lovely countryside. We learned history and ...
