Viking Prague Cruise Reviews

Chose Viking based on so many good reviews from friends. Bad start, 1st night. Watery crème brûlée and flavorless salmon. Food did get better. Many of the staff were friendly and engaging, but too many were not. Tour buses on 2d leg of cruise were old and cramped, compared to the first few buses. Tour guides were amazing. SUGGESTION: Cruise director (who had a pack on during ...

After reading many reviews of River cruise companies we chose this one for their high marks. We made our own flight arrangements because we had more control over when our flights were ticketed and for about the same price as Viking offered for Premium Deluxe seats. After reading all the negative and positive of letting Viking choose and make flight arrangements even with Viking Air Plus we felt it ...

My husband and I are usually independent when it comes to vacations and we usually fly to Europe, rent a car, and manage our own itineraries and visits to places of interest. We had heard of Viking Cruises for many years and while we would never book a cruise on a large 'floating city', the size and scale of the river cruise ships seemed to be manageable for us. We had originally booked this ...

Having been to West Germany with Viking, I wanted to experience East Germany. It was exceptional in all aspects of the trip. Two days in a hotel in Prague. Five days on the ship. Three days in Berlin. In both Prague and Berlin we were comfortable in that Alan (our Cruise Director) had given us a short tour and then many great recommendations of places to eat and/or visit. Both the ...

We did this as our first river cruise because I daughter got married in Germany. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was a beautiful experience. The food was spectacular. Could not have been better. Loved the exposure to all of the German food. The staff on Viking as always were spectacular. The could use with getting new beds on this ship. They are not great. This was our first river cruise so ...

Another wonderful Viking River Cruise. We chose this primarily to experience the stops on the Main and Moselle rivers and to explore Prague. We liked that the itinerary included 2 hotel nights at each end of a 7 night cruise. We extended at both ends for a full 3 days/4 nights each in Prague and Paris. A little more bus time on this river cruise compared to some others - primarily for the ...

I loved seeing the castles and wine regions as we sailed through Germany. Stops in small towns with cobblestone streets and gingerbread houses for city walking tours were fun, as was our excursion which included a wine tasting. We tasted authentic German food both on and off the ship, and learned about the country of Germany from expert lecturers. One aspect that was not ideal were the ...

We chose this trip since we had visited Prague several times and lived in Berlin for three years (1988-1991). We were also intrigued by the itinerary's stops at lesser known places like Dresden, Miessen, and Wittenberg. Although we knew that Berlin and Dresden had grown and modernized, the changes were dramatic. The views from the Reichtag's cupola are spectacular and worth the wait to get ...

The time that we spent inPrague was great. The Viking staff and hotel was excellent. On the river we were disappointed that the top deck was not available for over half the trip because of low bridges. If this was known, perhaps another cruise would have been chosen. The highlight of the river cruise was the castle’s that we saw the last day. Some of the side excursions could have been more ...

After three long years we finally got to do the Cities of Lights Viking river cruise from Prague to Paris. From the Prague airport where we were met by a Viking rep with a clipboard and checking us in, had Viking staff take our luggage and we waited w/ other Viking passengers to board our bus to get to the Hilton Prague, Viking anticipated our needs, including cold bottled water that we needed ...
