Viking Romantic Cruises Reviews

We decided to treat ourselves to a river cruise after years of watching advertisements on PBS. The Rhine Getaway provided a truly enchanting experience and provided an incredible snapshot of towns of western Germany. The changing scenery from the farmlands outside of Amsterdam to the post World War II regions around Cologne and finally the historic hill regions provided both recreational and ...

From the moment we were met in baggage claim until we passed back through security 11 days later we were treated to an utterly fantastic vacation by every Viking representative. Not a single details was lost along the way. We recovered from our jet lag with 3 days in Prague before boarding our ship, Embla. Prague is among one of our favorite cities in all of Europe and is must see on any European ...

We have been cruising for nearly 30 years, with 60 ocean cruises on various lines, but primarily Celebrity. My sister liked her Viking river cruise so much that she suggested we try one. This cruise ranks at the top of all the cruises we have taken. From start to finish, Viking service was remarkable. We opted for a balcony room which was very nice. The ship had 185 passengers, which allowed ...

This was our first cruise on Viking. We have sailed in the past on many a other cruise line but after sailing on Viking this summer I can definitely say that Viking sets the standard by which all cruise lines should be judged. The amenities, gourmet food, attention to detail, knowledgeable staff, and wonderful land excursions make a Viking cruise a most enjoyable experience. I was singularly ...

This trip was 3 years in the planning the areas of visits and tours was a selling point. Since I enjoy comfort my travel companion and I opted for a Veranda suite was worth every penny. Fresh fruit and flowers every day a welcome bottle of Champagne a stocked fridge with water beer and wine what more could you ask and a big surprise free laundry if I would have known that I would have packed ...

My expectations, which were high, were exceeded in every aspect. The attention to passenger convenience and comfort, the attention to safety security, the choice of knowledgeable tour guides, the fabulous food, and schedule organization were managed with precision and expertise. Everyone on the staff treated the guests with the highest degree of courtesy and professionalism while exhibiting great ...

This was my 5th Viking Cruise, second time doing the Rhine. Our very first Rhine Cruise was July 2015. Wow! Viking has changed! Many of the optional excursions were included in 2015. This time not much offered. Too many shuttles being used to get to towns and back to boat. The service has gone down. We weren’t even recognized for our 5th cruise! They did have a cocktail party for returning guests, ...

We started in Budapest and ended in Passau. Loved Budapest. Visited the white raven sky bar in the Hilton. Such great views Need reservations even for a drink only. Ship was clean and comfortable. Staff were so friendly and they treat you like family. Enjoy day time sailings to enjoy the views from balcony or top deck. Concert in Vienna was above my expectations. Enjoy the excursions be ...

We went on the Embla for our 30th Anniversary. I really liked the River Cruise because it was adults only, the food was really good, the staff was friendly, you make new friendships and get to see parts of the world you have never seen before. We would go to sleep and wake up in a new place. I would suggest paying extra for the Cesky Kumlov on foot tour. It is a beautiful village with quaint ...

The first half of this cruise was terrible. We had Viking arrange our travel and will never do that again. We paid the extra $100 for air plus ($200 total) which was a total waste of money. No one ever contacted us about our travel and they booked the worst flights we have ever had going overseas. It took 18 hrs and we missed the entire of the first day of the cruise. The first stop was ...
