Viking Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

We had done this cruise before but in reverse order and had convinced friends to try it. when they booked it we agreed to go with them. I did not enjoy my time in town going this way though. When you go from Amsterdam to Basel you are going upstream and it slows the boat down. this does not allow the same amount of time to visit the towns you stop in. Not having time in town means the walking tour ...

The cruise was amazing! The cruise ports of call and excursions were interesting and engaging for every type of vacationer. My only criticism is that the description is not clear about how much of the trip is spent on luxury buses. The trip does not go from the airport to the seaport. Luxury bus transportation is required and not ideal for people who have challenges walking. There is a ...

This cruise was a referral by family members who suggested something different than the typical ocean cruise. We have been on numerous cruises including the Caribbean, Alaska, and the Mediterranean but never a river boat cruise. We experienced a fantastic cruise that coupled history and luxury. From the moment we boarded the Viking Rolf, we knew we would experience something completely different. ...

Everything on this cruise was 1st class experience! Viking made sure everything was perfect. The food at all three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner were fantastic! The crew members were very friendly, helpful, and fun. Crew members Marlan, Willey, Igor, Ron, Andrew, Maria were the best!! Andrew the events coordinator did a fantastic job and made everything fun and memorable. The chef did an ...

We had previously sailed with Viking on a river cruise and found it to be very enjoyable, so we decided to try them again to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. As before, they took care of all the details from start to finish, so all we had to do was unpack, stay informed (they did a great job of communicating the activities that were available), and enjoy the experience. The voyage itself ...

First time going on a river cruise and Viking did a great job all around. We lucked out with mostly very favorable weather and only had one issue with low river levels forcing a stop at Mannheim/Ludvigshafen (not much of great interest to see) as the port near Speyer (intended destination) could not support the Rolf. We're experienced travelers in our 60's and have been on a number of ocean ...

This was a belated graduation gift and a significant birthday celebration trip, that was worth every single penny. I loved how small and personal the experience was, and I loved the fact that we were not pressured to do things like you find on some of the larger cruise ships. The gentle and quiet relaxing pace of cruising along the Rhine was so relaxing. I am glad we went with the balcony option ...

We chose the cruise because it fit with our other travel plans. We have always wanted to try a Viking river cruise. Got to visit 4 countries. I was nice being able to travel and not have to unpack suitcases. I'm glad we payed up and picked the room with the veranda balcony, not French balcony. The rooms are rather small. The balcony makes it feel less claustrophobic. Lots of storage and suitcases ...

My sisters and I have wanted to go on a Viking Cruise for years. The time was finally right. Cruising from Amsterdam to Budapest was an absolute delight and the entire crew was fabulous! Viking takes such good care of its guests and every detail was handled to perfection. Our Program Director, Igor, was the BOMB! The entire staff bent over backwards to tend to our every need. Because of ...

Best friends invited us, and we had experienced the Viking lines twice before with excellent results. We got a small cabin, knowing we wouldnt spend much time in it other than sleeping and cleaning up. Food was top notch, service encellent, the excursions well run (like clock work) with knowledgeable guides. Sharing the history prior to each ports of call is a feature we love about Viking- very ...
