Wanted to visit Christmas markets during December . We were not disappointed! Crew was great. Service was excellent, Inna our steward, Rea and Brandi. David the cruise director was awesome. Experienced captain made great decisions which allowed us to complete voyage. Some ships unable to complete route and were stranded which ended their trip early. Rapid rising water from snow melt prevented some ...
Chose Viking cruise because of the small ship size and the ability of seeing so many different Christmas Markets. The food on board was decent. Breakfast was the best offering of the day. Lunch and supper were less stellar. Typical cruise fare. If you are looking for gourmet you will be disappointed, but you won’t starve. Coffee and snacks are provided all day long for a quick energy boost. ...
Having booked this cruise with friends over 2 years before - I was anticipating how lovely it will be. I was not disappointed with the ship. I watch a lot of PBS and Viking Commercials have always made me dream of taking a river cruise. We had a close group of 14 people among an extended group of 40. The ship isn't very big so it was wonderful to not have to deal with crowds and have everyone ...
I was shocked when many of the people cruising were coughing and staying in their staterooms, the staff of the ship did nothing to investigate or limit the transmission of COVID to other passengers. My wife and I tried to stay distanced from those who were symptomatic. But when I became ill on day 8 and tested positive for COVID, I asked what the company policy was for COVID. I was told by the ...
I have wanted to do a Christmas Market Cruise for a long time, I booked this with my best friend and her husband almost 2 years ago and it exceeded our expectations. It was lovely in every way. The Viking Ship was luxurious without being pretentious. The staff was fabulous and made us feel at home immediately. Everything went smoothly and was handled so professionally, even when something changed ...
This river cruise was absolutely fantastic!! We had such a great time! The food and staff onboard was absolutely wonderful! Every day our scheduled excursions or specialized tours were executed perfectly. Viking does such a wonderful job despite some issues .. out of their control with the high water levels … Viking went above and beyond to be sure we stayed on schedule and got to each planned ...
My husband and I are in our 30s and we still felt at home on the Viking trip. All of our tour guides were absolutely great. Had a lot of knowledge and we’re very nice really appreciated all of the staff. They were friendly, and still made all of our excursions work, and got to go to every port, even though the Rhine river was high. I do think we had a little less shopping time in free time in each ...
This was our first River cruise. Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. My husband had read so much about Viking so we booked departing Amsterdam Nov. 12, 2023 for the 8 day cruise to Basel. The crew was exceptional, cabin was nice. The food was ok, cold most of the time. In the brochure it states no waiting in lines and that what we did most of the time. We thought that once we got to a ...
This was 5 star all the way, the best trip we have ever taken and will take another for sure. Everything from the staff, the food, the cabins, the excursions absolutely everything was fabulous and definitely worth the money!!
The lounge was one of our favorite places on the ship, every night live music and drinks! We really enjoyed the port talks the night before that would tell us about our ...
Viking has been on our bucket list for a long time so we finally took the Rhine cruise in November. From start to finish, the staff did everything to make our trip memorable. To this point, my husband's luggage was delayed by two days yet Viking offered to clean his clothes overnight (returning them precisely when they said they would) and managed the coordination between first the airline and ...
