Viking Senior Cruises Reviews

We were invited by our dear friends to go, we had always wanted to do a Viking Cruise so we jumped at the chance!! Viking DID NOT disappoint!!! The food was delicious and free flowing!! The wait staff catered to our every need and worked tirelessly to make sure we had anything we wanted. The drink package was totally worth it!! The free guided tours were outstanding!! The staff was delightful and ...

We had an amazing time aboard this ship. It was such a smooth sail. We barely knew we were moving unless we looked out the window. We were impressed with the piloting by the captain. His parking skills are amazing! The crew was incredible and attentive and friendly. The excursions were fun and informative. The tour guides did such a great job of teaching us about their homes and history. We ...

This was our fourth Viking Cruise (second River). The primary reason we chose this particular itinerary was to see the Passion Play at Oberammergau in 2022. Viking has a well deserved reputation for excellence, and this cruise was no exception. We booked a French Balcony stateroom, which to us made more sense given the relatively little time we spent in the cabin other than to sleep. Ship was ...

This was our first river tour and it exceeded our expectations. We were on the Viking Tir, not the Vali. It was a last minute change. We booked a French balcony room and it was very comfortable. The menu choices were varied and the food was delicious. Our Program Director, Stephen Guy, went above and beyond to ensure that our excursions were timely and fun. We were very pleased with the ...

I chose the Grand European River Cruise for a few reasons. 1. I figured if I was going to spend all that money on airfare, I wanted to see as much as possible. 2. My husband had done extensive research on different cruise lines, and Viking was his choice. So when he passed away before we could go, I trusted his choice. 3. They don't allow anyone under 18. I didn't want to have to put ...

We chose this cruise for several reasons: 1. We have been on other Viking river cruises and knew Viking river cruises to be delightful - everything you could ask for on a river cruise: the Viking staff, service, food, accommodations and daily excursions are so well orchestrated and first class. 2. We have always wanted to attend the Passion Play in Oberammergau. This play is only performed ...

We've traveled in Germany, but never in the Black Forest or Rhine areas. Although we have done many ocean cruises, we've always wanted to do a river cruise and this itinerary gave us the perfect access to these areas of Germany we wanted to visit. The food on board the boat was such a treat. Each meal was perfectly portioned, visually delightful, and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the ...

We chose this cruise because we felt we would get a good number of countries with different foods, landscapes and cultures, and we were right. We went with Air Plus and were able to chose our own flights and seats. We flew Swiss Air, Business Class over, and AA Premium Economy back. The crew were great on Swiss Air but we didn’t feel it was worth the extra money. The lie down bed was slender and ...

We had cruised the Danube with Viking pre-Covid. We toured again to see the play, a once in a decade opportunity, and experience the Danube again, concluding with two additional nights in Budapest. The trip started with a delayed flight from Detroit to Washington DC to connect with the Munich flight. We called the Viking Emergency number and were connected in less than 30 seconds. The Viking ...

We chose Viking to do a riverboat cruise because our first experience on Viking was this last February on an ocean cruise from London up and down the Norwegian coast to see the northern lights. That cruise was spectacular, so we wanted to try a river cruise. The food and service were equally wonderful, and we are now avid fans of Viking! We went from Amsterdam to Budapest and saw beautiful ...
