To start, pick up at the airport was efficient with travel to the hotel. The pre cruise stay in Budapest was great. The hotel was historic and beautiful, the included breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices and delicious. The location was great. The Viking reps were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! They helped to make the stay a fun one. They were ready with recommendations for ...
We very much enjoyed our pre-cruise time in Paris and the entire river cruise. Mia, the Cruise Director, was awesome! She was so much fun and informative and 'real'! We really enjoyed ourselves and like the included daily excursions and the paid excursions as well. We love how organized and on time everything is. The housekeeping staff was hard working and efficient and we appreciated their ...
My wife and I cannot say enough good things about our cruise with Viking. The staff provided the best possible hospitality. The food was amazing. Everything was always clean and we were kept well informed on a daily basis. The guides for our show excursions were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. So, why did I rate the cruise at only 4 of 5 stars? Our add-on time in Vienna was darkened by ...
This cruise was absolutely spectacular! The ship was beautiful, the scenery and excursions were breathtaking and the crew was outstanding. Gabriel took amazing care of us from start to finish. George took care of us as most of our meals onboard and he was fantastic! I’m sure the crew on other cruises are wonderful as well, but it makes me want to go back and sail with this exact set of amazing ...
This was our first river boat cruise, and our first cruise with Viking. It was very well organized from start to finish. The food and service were excellent, including many local ingredients and specialties. Marie, our hard-working program director kept us well-informed and entertained and is amongst the best at her job that we've ever encountered on our many cruises. We really appreciated the ...
As expected, all of the Viking staff were very helpful and responsive and provided exceptional service. Additionally, the ship (Herja) was in excellent condition, clean, and comfortable.
This was our second Viking cruise, 2014 being our first. I was surprised that we needed to bus between Zurich and Basel. More surprising, and quite disappointing, was the 6.5 hours on the bus from Trier to ...
This was my first cruise of any type and my first visit to Europe. I don't believe there could have been a better way to experience either of these firsts. Viking is terrific! We arrived two days early in Amsterdam and had a great time touring the city. We were somewhat tired when we boarded our Viking ship but the entire crew made those first couple of hours so relaxing and comfortable. And it ...
I will recommend Viking River Cruises to everyone. We were treated like royalty. Viking went above and beyond, as I became quite ill during travel to Budapest. Viking rep Vicktor was our guardian angel, as he called a doctor our first night in the hotel, got my meds, called an ambulance the following morning, sat with us at the hospital for EIGHT hours, and made sure we connected with Mario from ...
We loved this cruise. I loved the beautiful cities we toured and the tour guides were exceptional. The ship is luxurious and the crew were warm, helpful and good at what they did. Our hostess Sue, was amazing. She handled every situation calmly and professionally. She was fun to listen to as she shared our schedules for the next day. So very helpful. Our room was small but very efficient. The bed ...
Vilking staff were so helpful kind and efficient. Really wonderful. Food was well presented and consistently good. Regional dishes/wine/beer are included when possible. Don’t forget to ask for regional -included wine or beer.. as it changes. Many meals include both menu ordering and buffet. They individually cared for those with dietary restrictions. Tip: (just ask) I forgot to order my salad ...
