1-10 of 63 Amsterdam to Europe - River Cruise Viking Gefjon Reviews
After a disappointing experience with a ship of 3900 passengers last summer, we (4 family members) went back to Viking River Cruises for a relaxing vacation in the Netherlands and Belgium which was even more interesting than expected. We did the pre cruise extension in Amsterdam, before the cruise, in a well-located hotel and visited the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank house on her own (be sure ...
My best friend of 60 years and I decided to take this cruise at the recommendation of her daughter and it was truly amazing! However, we did NOT get started on the "best foot". Our ship, The Ve was in dry dock when we arrived in Amsterdam with "maintenance issues". We were supposed to be able to embark on our ship at 12:30 p.m. and all throughout the day, we were "updated" with various times, ...
This was our first river cruise and we wanted it to be safe and fun. That is why we chose Viking because of their stellar reputation. We initially booked this cruise before the Covid lockdown but the two-year wait was worth it. We'll definitely book another Viking sea or river cruise. The ship's crew were professional and delightful to be around. Each evening the the Cruise Director would map ...
We have wanted to take a river cruise for a long time. My husband retired this year. He has never been to Europe. There was a party of 7 with our group. The cruise was awesome, Sometimes felts a little rushed on the included excursions and wish there had been more time for shopping. But all in all it was awesome. The ship crew was out of this world and made the trip amazing. ...
Grand European was something we’d wanted to do for a long time. This cruise was just two days after completion of a transatlantic so it just felt like the right time. We had a lower level room (duck view) as we made the reservation only about 6 months before sailing and that’s all that were left. Wait staff, bartender and the piano man were all outstanding. Food was generally ...
I picked this cruise on the recommendations of friends and the wonderful ads they run, it was the worst experience ever. After a delayed flight in arriving at the airport when I called Viking for my pick up, I was told to get a cab I had paid for the transfers, but they weren’t willing to come get me. Things went from bad to worse. The only rooms available. were on the first floor, but I was told ...

We wanted to see the Netherlands and the tulips. We wanted an escorted river cruise. The visit to tulip farmers was very informative and interesting. The canal cruise was really nice. We loved the windmills tour, war museum and especially the tulip garden where we could walk at our own pace. I have issues walking and found the shore tour guides too fast for me and lots of the other guests. ...
We had heard from others about viking and the service. We have been on large ship cruises and the viking river cruise was beyond our expectations. The boat, service, staff and food were exceptional. i would highly recommend taking a viking cruise. We did the grand european tour and the stops were great. This was our first time to Germany and the excursions were great. The activity director ...
Having experienced 5 ocean cruises and a very short one on the Nile, I wanted to experience a European River Cruise. It did not disappoint although we had to change ships due to low water levels. The service from the staff was excellent.
The breakfasts were exceptional - I particularly loved the Eggs Benedict. Lunch and dinner with complimentary wines were extremely tasty and well presented. ...
We chose this cruise because we had heard how wonderful Viking was. We wanted the longest cruise possible and the Grand European is a 14 day cruise. We were impressed with Pierce Oh, our Viking agent, who we dealt with on the phone when scheduling. He is the epitome of what a customer service rep should be.
Things went downhill when we were at the airport on July 29th getting ready for our ...
