Viking River Cruises Reviews

My sisters and I have wanted to go on a Viking Cruise for years. The time was finally right. Cruising from Amsterdam to Budapest was an absolute delight and the entire crew was fabulous! Viking takes such good care of its guests and every detail was handled to perfection. Our Program Director, Igor, was the BOMB! The entire staff bent over backwards to tend to our every need. Because of ...

We had been wanting to try a river cruise and did a lot of research on options. Based on reviews and people we spoke with, Viking was a premier option. Our trip was fantastic and went beyond every expectation! We used their air travel plan and it went smoothly, the Pre-cruise and post-cruise extentions were outstanding (we did the 2 night Lucerne and 2 nights in Amsterdam). Embarkation was ...

Viking provided a wonderful and memorable land and river cruise experience for me and my adult daughter. We loved everything about Portugal from the moment we landed at the airport. The staff on the Viking Hemming and extended members (land, tour guides, bus drivers, etc.) were all exemplary and went out of their way to ensure you had an enjoyable and more than satisfactory experience. The ...

We have taken a couple of previous Viking cruises and were excited to see one that covered some different territory than our previous trips. The crew was outstanding and personable, and the services provided were top notch. We had a good balance of excursions and free time, and the length of travel was just right. The tour guides at each port were clearly experts at their craft and their ...

Best friends invited us, and we had experienced the Viking lines twice before with excellent results. We got a small cabin, knowing we wouldnt spend much time in it other than sleeping and cleaning up. Food was top notch, service encellent, the excursions well run (like clock work) with knowledgeable guides. Sharing the history prior to each ports of call is a feature we love about Viking- very ...

Service was excellent, small ship-they remembered your name and preferences. Food was excellent and abundant, No buffets, all table service which was delightful . Highly recommend beverage package, excellent wines and servers very knowledgeable regarding vintage. Yes River was low and could not dock at scheduled places, but that’s NOT Viking’s fault and they did everything they could-included ...

This was my sister's first cruise and we chose the Rhine Getaway starting in Basel, Switzerland. We were met at the airport and taken to our ship which eliminated a lot of stress. For the next week, we were treated to informative tours, free time to explore on our own, access to the most beautiful architecture, and the most comfortable ship experience possible, and a restful evening. Everything ...

The staff on this ship were exceptional. They all seemed happy, attentive and the service was above and beyond. We have done 10 Viking ocean/river cruises and the staff on the Forseti were absolutely #1. The food was wonderful as was the chef who described each meal with an ‘oooh La La’. Bordeaux was wonderful. The Ship docked at the river walk that gave us walking access to lots of sites. ...

Viking offers the most outstanding cruises in the world! It is impossible to see all the sights and learn all the history of Europe but Viking presents a variety of wonderful cruises and pre-cruise extensions that are unsurpassed. This was our second trip with Viking and it proved to be as fabulous as the first (the Grand European Tour). On this trip, our time was filled with breathtaking ...

This cruise was a wonderful balance between having R&R and actively trekking through all the countries we visited. The service was friendly and professional. The food was outstanding and the wines were great! Our cabin was the perfect size and our room steward came twice a day to make sure everything was in order. We really enjoyed all the excursions they offered. The free excursions ...
