Viking Europe Cruise Reviews

We had family living near Basel so we were able to visit with them before sailing. This made the trip across the pond so much more worthwhile. We loved the care and concern of the entire staff. Everyone was so personable and made the experience awesome. The excisions we included in our itinerary were informative and the guides were from the area. This allowed us to peek into their personal ...

I just completed my 5th Viking cruise. This was my 4th river cruise. My daughter selected this cruise to celebrate her 45th birthday. She had not been to France, so we added the pre-extension in Paris. A Viking rep and private driver were waiting for us when we exited baggage claim at CDG. Springtime in Paris is beautiful with all the chestnut trees blooming in shades of white and pink. I ...

Interested in seeing the countries on this cruise. Was very impressed with all of the stops in all of the countries. Each site had beautiful historic sites, plenty to see and enjoy. Each tour guide was great. Knew all about the area and did a great job sharing it with the entire group. Everyone enjoyed the tours. Every meal on the ship was fantastic. Just saw an article from Food and ...

We took the Rhine Getaway cruise because we can’t go on ocean cruises. It was fabulous. Everything was relaxing from the moment we walked on the ship. Cabin was as expected. The food was delicious. Loved trying all the local foods the ship chef cooked for each destination. Our server Margorie was the best. She knew what we would enjoy at each meal. She was always smiling and we absolutely ...

Our ship was changed from the Modi to Skirnir . No matter. They are all almost identical. We toured fromBudapest to Amsterdam and extended our cruise by adding 2 days in Amsterdam. If you don’t, you arrive in Amsterdam and depart for the airport immediately. They crew was wonderful. The ship was great. Comfortable rooms, great food, and entertainment in lounge in the evening. We learned of the ...

I have never heard one person say anything negative about a Viking River cruise. This was our first river cruise, so we had only ocean large ships to use as a point of reference. So, when we took our Viking cruise in late April 2023, I expected everything to be top notch and we were not disappointed. The following are our ratings for the individual aspects of the cruise on a scale of 1 to 5, with ...

I have been on many cruises but this was my first river cruise and first Viking cruise. It was everything and more than I expected. Not only FIRST class treatment but the scenic value combined with the history lessons were off the chart. Will definitely do another. The servers in the lounge and dinning areas were amazing. Even with nearly 200 people on board they remember your name and ...

Veteran cruisers, first time Viking cruisers. Beautiful ship and staterooms, crew was incredible, beverage package was wonderful, but the food was very mediocre at best. Steak the first night was like leather, same old breakfast everyday, pouring pre-mixed eggs out of the commercial carton they came in. At least fake it by putting them in a pitcher so passengers at least think they’re getting ...

The Grand European river cruise included so many of the places we wanted to visit in Hungary, Austria, Germany and Netherlands, including Budapest, Passau, Vienna, Nuremberg, Cologne, the windmills of Kinderdijk, Amsterdam, and many other interesting and unique stops in Germany. In addition we took optional excursions to Salzburg and Munich. Both were very worthwhile and well done. The morning of ...

This cruise was selected at the start of the pandemic with a view to giving us something good to look forward to. We traveled with four friends from the UK and met with two friends from the USA. The two nights in Lisbon were interesting and the trip to the maritime museum with Marc Antony - our guide - was stimulating with the earlier battles and journeys of the Portuguese. I was not particularly ...
