Viking River Cruises Reviews

We were looking for a French river cruise that included wine regions, and this was the one that fit our timeline. We loved the regions and the tours that we selected. The Loire valley was beautiful, I would love to spend more time there, along with more time in Bordeaux and St Emilion. The accommodations on the boat and the hotel selections were above expectations, the chateau’s we visited and ...

We have cruised many times on the ocean and always wanted to try a river cruise. We are so happy we did, we had a fantastic experience! The small size of a river cruise ship creates a more personalized experience and allows for us to meet people more easily. The crew addressed us by name and knew what we needed/wanted before we asked. They took great care of us throughout the week. We had some ...

We took this same cruise 8 years ago with my wife's parents. It was such an amazing experience that we committed ourselves to do the same with our four kids and their spouses. It did not disappoint. The Alruna staff treated our whole family like royalty. Their service and care were over the top great. I just can't imagine anyone doing better. I was a little worried that we may have over-sold ...

This seven night Rhine River cruise takes you to several major cities and cruises the section of the river with the largest concentration of castles and vineyards. The timing of the castles cruise was in the morning when the sun was shining on most of them on this Basel to Amsterdam cruise direction. The ship docked in Rudesheim in the evening and walking around the town on our own when most of ...

This was our second cruise with Viking and on the Rhine. Having loved our first trip on the longer Grand European cruise, we wanted to return to the beautiful Rhine Middle Valley but didn't want to repeat the entire trip; so, this was the obvious choice. We also added the pre-extension option to Lake Como, Italy. From the U.S. we flew to Milan and were met (after a slight bit of delay and ...

When we got married we took an ocean cruise with a different cruise line. At the time we were in our late 20s and we had a fantastic time with the pool, cocktails, entertainment, etc. As we aged we wanted to have a different experience. We chose Viking because it was the most well known River cruise line. We have no regrets! Everything went smoothly. From the time we landed in Budapest we felt ...

What a great introduction to Europe - the itinerary, the ship, the food, the service - all TOP NOTCH!!! The entire week was spelled out with a good amount of "free time" both on the ship and in the port cities. The water level in the Rhine can cause some changes - like having to dock at other locations other than "city front" - but Viking handled all the transportation needs flawlessly with very ...

Wanted to see this part of the world for the first time and to have another chance at exploring Budapest (missed out on our Viking voyage in 2017 because of one-day-late outbound flight). Enjoyed the mix of guests on this itinerary! Made connections with several different groups of people. Appreciate the included tours, guides, and briefings on the countries, cities, and regions, performing ...

We chose this Viking river cruise because were interested in the history and culture of the Rhineland area of Germany and France. This cruise certainly paid off and exceeded all expectations. There was a variety of shore excursions available and the included excursions at each stop proved to be of high quality and were led by knowledgable and affable guides.The ship was very comfortable and the ...

We wanted a cruise that would go to Budapest and was not longer than 10 days, it seem like an interesting journey, it was very insightful, I loved the trip in croatia where we visited the homes of the people that lived through the war. i found it very interesting, since i also had to flee a communist country. the going to the farm it was very dusty I suggest the pour some water so that we don't ...
