Viking Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because we hadn't been to any of the ports. Had a wonderful time! The ship is beautiful; the staff is so friendly, personable & helpful. Special kudos to Cruise Director Nancy, Bartender Waldo, Housekeeper Alexandra - & everyone else! The food was amazing! We enjoyed every meal, especially the variety of menu choices. Breakfast was always a special treat with ...

Viking Gersemi was my wife and my first cruise. We wanted to visit Europe and considered both a walking tour and cycling tour of England/Wales in addition to Viking's riverboat trip on the Rhine (Amsterdam to Basel). We selected Viking based upon being able to visit Netherlands, France, Germany and Switzerland. We did optional stays both prior to and after the Rhine cruise. Gersemi's staff ...

This was our first cruise of any kind, and I don't think we could have made a better choice. A Viking river cruise, with a maximum 190 passengers, is an ideal size that doesn't overwhelm you. It also allowed us to get to meet people, which is one of the reasons we love to travel. The crew is incredibly attentive and helpful. There was an issue when we first boarded and some of our luggage ...

Absolutely wonderful trip from beginning to end! To start with the staff are amazing. From wait staff to housekeeping to ship crew. They work nonstop and do everything to perfection always with a smile on their face. The food is delicious and the chef always puts something regional on the menu. We went on every excursion we could and again they were all amazing. We saw things I never thought I ...

The Rhine Cruise was a delight, consistently meeting our expectations. Alsace, including Strassbourg, was a highlight, and the shore excursions, run by local guides, were of high quality. In particular, our optional excursions from Breisach- the tour of Medieval Colmar and the tour regarding the Colmar Pocket in WWII, were outstanding. The service was impeccable throughout. The meals were ...

This was our first trip to Europe. We heard so many good things about Viking that we decided on the Rhine River cruise from Amsterdam to Basel with an extension in Lucerne. The staff was amazing! They tried to learn your name from the moment you stepped on the ship. They made us feel so welcome and at home. We stayed in the Veranda Suite. It was perfect for us because we had the separate ...

The itinerary and ports of Rhine cruise appealed to us the most. Our expectations were met and exceeded. The included excursions were all very informative and interesting, and the guides that we had were very good. I did two optional tours, the Marksburg Castle and the Colmar WWII museum and battle site. Both were very much worth the additional charge. The ship was always spotless and the whole ...

We picked Viking because of the great online reviews and friends/family who did Viking River Cruises in the past and loved them. We had an amazing time, I would highly recommend Viking and this specific voyage to anyone. The customer service was excellent!! Our room was cleaned multiple times a day, we had the same housekeeper each day (Zori), and she kept the room tidy and spotless. She ...

Euro River Cruise, BUD to Amsterdam, Viking Ve. This was a bucket list item for me. Budapest is an amazing place. My thirst for this city is only slightly satiated. Old Hungarians bristle at Hungary being in “Eastern Europe.” They like to think it’s in “Central Europe.” Younger Hungarians seem to ignore all of that and are striving just like productive younger people the world over. ...

I accompanied my daughter on the Grand European River cruise. She was so excited to see her dream destinations on this cruise, so this was the one. The cruise was fantastic! We loved the crew, they were so friendly and helpful. We were sad when they informed us half way through the cruise that the water level was too low and we would have to change ships. It was a very well executed transfer ...
