We have been wanting to go to Europe for a longtime and a friend of ours organized a complete package, including this cruise. It was a great way to see many wonderful sights in Europe all in one trip. We started in Milan and made our way to the departure in Basel, Switzerland. The trip exceeded all our expectations with a wonderful crew, terrific food and great excursions. The Black Forest was ...
We had a great experience on the Rhine River with Viking. Viking exceeded my expectations! All the excursions were well planned and timely. The included excursions were very good. Viking had there own fleet of coach buses for the excursions and they were all very nice. All the tour guides were top notch...either currently lived in the towns we were touring or were former inhabitants. This ...
The crew on the ship were very very attentive and helpful in all regards. The wait staff in the restaurant were among the best I have ever seen or experienced. The room attendant's were thorough and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the program director for his port talks and arranging all of the tours. We went on this cruise because Belgium and the Netherlands were two places in Europe that I'd ...
The whole process was from booking to travel to sailing was easy and problem free. When I had questions I used the live chat and it worked great. Hotel in Prague before sailing was very nice as well as the hotel in Paris at the end of our trip.
The onboard experience - I loved it!! The excursions were well planned. We had great guides.
The staff was top notch. The meals were 5 star. The ...
We loved this Viking River Cruise! All the tour guides were super knowledgeable about all the areas we explored. The food was excellent and the Staff was friendly and helpful. The Castles we saw on the Middle Rhine and the Black Forest region in Germany were the highlights. I also loved the little village of Barr near Strasbourg France. We did a Wine Tasting tour there. Our cabin was comfortable ...
I'm a fan of PBS and have seen Viking commercials for years. When the opportunity to take a cruise came up, I immediately decided to look into Viking cruises. The trip far exceeded my expectations and I have already started planning on my next river cruise.
The staff was extremely attentive, and I really liked that ships officers as well as staff were available throughout the day and ...
After 10 ocean cruises we took our first river cruise and it had its pros and cons. I knew it would be different
and low key but I didn't expect this.
Embarkation - Went smoothly, no problem getting on board.
Internet - Much like other cruises spotty at best
Cabin - We had a french balcony and it was much smaller then any balcony cabin I've been in before.

European Sojourn: 22 days from Bucharest to Amsterdam. July - August 2023
My wife and I have enjoyed almost a dozen ocean cruises including two very favorable cruises on Viking. This was our first river cruise, and we had heard so many favorable things about it. We have traveled extensively throughout Europe and hoped this would add favorably to our great experiences.
Unfortunately, a ...

This cruise was our retirement gift to each other. We had been looking at Viking for several years, and decided this was the best riverboat cruise line for us. We did put this off a couple of years to make sure that Covid would not interfere. We were not disappointed at all. The crew was the best and were very attentive to our needs and those of the other passengers. Kalin, our cruise ...
This is my 8th river cruise with Viking. Obviously, I do love the Viking experiences. I did discover on this trip that I do not particularly like staying in hotels before and after the cruise simply because there is too much loading and unloading of suitcases. That, of course, is just a person preference. The hotels were fine, although the Hilton in Prague was somewhat removed, resulting in our ...
