Had a wonderful time cruising the Rhine River and stopping at the Christmas markets in the various cities/towns. Great value for the money! Ready to go again and just trying to determine next location. Mentioned to cruise director that our excursion to the Mercedes Factory was disappointing ( the automation lines were down} and we received Champagne and a complete refund! It was a happy ...
We had never done a river cruise. We did done land/bus tours a few times. It was so much nicer to unpack once and leisurely wake up in the morning rather than rush through breakfast to get on a bus for many hours. The size of the boat was perfect. I do not think I would like to be on a boat with thousands of people.
The entire trip was down to a science fin every aspect. No hiccups that we ...
Our friend had cruised with Viking before and asked us to join them on this trip. Not knowing what to expect we were completely impressed with everything. From first speaking with Donna Thomas who explained everything and answered our questions, to dropping us of at the airport for our return flight everything went smoothly.
Again not knowing what to expect and never being to this part of ...
This was our 2nd Viking Cruise (also did the Seine, Paris to Normandy and back which was also fantastic) and it did not disappoint. From the time you land until you leave they take great care of you every step of the way. The staff is super friendly, the ship and stateroom was comfortable and spotless (stateroom with veranda is a must upgrade), wifi worked great, entertainment is reserved but ...
We chose this itinerary so we could see parts of Germany and Amsterdam. We had frineds who had sailed this trip and highly recommended it. We also did the pre-cruise extension to Lake Como with Viking and the Amsterdam post-cruise extension with Viking.
Viking handled everything well. We had a bit of a hiccup in Lake Como when our tour director fell in Bellagio and they had to get a ...
This was our first river cruise and first time traveling post-COVID. Scenic exceeded our expectations. Service was excellent. Staff could not have been more attentive. Having several tour choices in each port was a treat. Salzburg luncheon and show was held in an eye opening location, just like the movie. Concert at Palais LIchtenstein was the highlight of the cruise. All meals were varied ...
We choose this cruise to celebrate my wife's 80th birthday
We were on the 3rd deck Veranda suite at rear and could not sleep for motor noise.
It was very unfortunate that a flu type bug went through the boat day two, people were coughing everywhere we were both really affected and missed a couple of days excursions, no assistance from staff or medication available.
The regimented dining ...
River cruising was recommended by a relative who had done it many times. I typically avoid water due to motion sickness, but that was never an issue on this cruise. It was mostly Americans and Canadians on board, but with a diverse and exceptionally friendly, talented, and caring crew. Never before have I received such great customer service. The crew and several passengers became like old friends ...
Our cruise had been postponed for a few years and it turned out that it was worth the wait. Viking's attention to detail was perfect on every level. We stayed in the Explorer Suite which if you can swing it, is a very luxurious way to travel. There is nothing but good when it comes to accommodations, food, service, included and extra activities and staff. The guides in the cities we stopped in ...
