Viking Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

What really impressed me was that our luxury hotel room was ready at 9 am when we arrived in Amsterdam. Viking had a huge staff waiting to help! It was wonderful. The daily ports were most quaint quiet villages. I loved it. I’ve been an ocean cruiser. Thus river trip was marvelously relaxing and no long sea days. Bravo Viking! We enjoyed all the guides, excursions and themed parties! Overall ...

Viking river cruises never disappoint. There really is no better way to have an intimate multi-city tour of historic cities than on a river cruise. It’s a floating hotel with such dedicated staff insuring you feel welcome. Each of the stops gives you an opportunity to explore new things. We especially found that the E bike trip was a blast. That is the one thing that I wish more of the river ...

We took the Danube cruise in 2022 that included the Passion Play in Oberammergau and loved the Viking experience so when the Rhine cruise came up with airfare included we had to take advantage. This cruise was equally enjoyable. All the Viking crew seem to love doing their jobs and it shows in the service we received. The food again was always delicious and such a variety with local offerings. ...

We chose this cruise because my FIL wanted this for his 90th birthday. I extensively researched the ship/bar menus /excursions/ advertised “enrichments .” On the first day, we sit through a presentation where the “silver spirits” package is talked up -noting they do not “nickel and dime” on this package and all is included (we had already got this package.) So, I walk up to bar and order Veuve ...

We wanted to try river cruising. We were appointed a french balcony stateroom/cabin with a with a heated bathroom floor. Housekeeping & restaurant staff provided awesome service. Food was delectable. Hotel location for pre & post cruise extensions were at locations that allowed for exploration of exceptional places that were within walking distance. Included shore excursions were well chosen. ...

This is a journal of our June 8-15, 2023, “Rhine Getaway” cruise from Amsterdam to Basel on the Viking Gersemi. It also includes information about our independent three-day pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam and a brief post-cruise trip to Zürich. We and our two college friends had planned to take this cruise in 2020, but it was canceled by Viking after Final Payment because of the COVID-19 pandemic. ...

We have been on large ocean cruises. This Viking river cruise experience is a game changer. There is a new level of guest experience when you have 184 guests served by 42 crew. In a week you feel like you know everyone from captain to cabin. The ports were wonderful. Some we could have spent more time in, but that tells us we just want to go back. The food was exceptional. The choices ...

We have taken ocean cruises and enjoyed the entertainment available on the big ships. So we were not sure what to expect on a ship that entertains you by taking you to interesting and very old towns along the river Rhine. We chose the shorter (could have done 2 weeks on Danube) in the event river cruising was not for us. Could easily have done the 2 weeks on one of the Viking longboats. Very ...

The Viking Cruise was an amazing mix of interesting places with good guides, wonderful people (fellow customers and service staff) nice facilities and exceptionally well managed operations and activities. Our only problem was with the reservation staff and travel planning. (A 24-hour two transfer plane trip from Europe was the longest ever for us.) Their performance was unfortunately mediocre ...

This was our first river cruise and we wanted it to be safe and fun. That is why we chose Viking because of their stellar reputation. We initially booked this cruise before the Covid lockdown but the two-year wait was worth it. We'll definitely book another Viking sea or river cruise. The ship's crew were professional and delightful to be around. Each evening the the Cruise Director would map ...
