My wife and I had a very nice cruise on the Viking Lofn in June, 2019. The staff were excellent, although we had to grin at the cruise director's obvious over-hype on occasion.
We had one management level staff member in the dining area seem to "put down" a guest at our table when she ordered a steak rather than the suggested entre- that didn't set well with any of us who heard his statement ...
A mother/adult daughter duo on our first river cruise! Staff and guests were so friendly and welcoming. The ship is pristine, so many thoughtful comforts, delicious and varied cuisine, themed programming relating to one's journey, and an outstanding activities director! The cabins were sleek and modern and had an astonishing amount of storage space, thoughtful amenities, and we would highly ...
We had sailed with Viking on the Danube and were pleased with our experience so we picked them again for a Rhine River cruise and we're glad we did. Our balcony cabin was small, as are most river cruise cabins, but there was ample storage. The service was outstanding; we would like Marlon, our waiter, to come and live with us. He knew all of our drink preferences after the first day and, when one ...
We had never been on a cruise before and had heard great things about the Viking River Cruises in Europe, so we booked our Rhine River cruise to coincide with the Tulip Festival in Amsterdam and our 30 year wedding anniversary. Everything we had heard about and even more was true. The entire crew of the Viking Lofn gave each passenger first class treatment. We were so impressed with the quality ...
This was our first cruise so we opted for a short one. Viking was recommended by my travel agent. We were not disappointed! Food and service were excellent! The included shore excursions were very comprehensive. We did not purchase any extra excursions as we wanted to enjoy the experiences in the local ports of call.
We spent time in Amsterdam before departure and in Basel upon arrival. ...
We have completed over 20 ocean cruises and wanted to try a River Cruise. The timing was right for this one and the price was right as there was a big sell. I think we booked at the end of July 2018 for a March 2019 cruise. My wife loves the castles and she loved the day we cruised and saw all of the castles. The staff was very good to us. We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary and they ...
I've travelled a lot but this was absolutely the most wonderful travel experience that I have ever had. My husband and I went with friends and we all loved it! We can't wait to take another cruise next summer and plan to do it at least annually. It was relaxing while cruising the river whether inside watching out the expansive windows, or on top outside (with drink in hand)... The food, what can ...
See Don465's review...my sentiments exactly!
When making plans to go on a cruise, my only goal was that it be a river cruise. Not being on the ocean with thousands of other people was what initially drew me to a river cruise.
What an excellent decision that turned out to be!
Everything from start to finish was wonderful! I can't say enough about the staff! If there is a school on ...
I chose this cruise so my wife and I could spend some time with our daughter and her family after the cruise in Basel. All-in-all we were very happy with this cruise and how Viking took care of us. We spent a day in Amsterdam prior to departure to get over the jet lag flying overnight from Chicago. The ship and facilities were in very good condition. We are mostly experienced in ocean cruising ...
We went on this cruise on a recommendation from our daughter and son-in-law, plus the Viking reputation. We went on this cruise with our daughter and son-in-law law, and his father and girlfriend. The cruise was perfect. We went on daily shore excursions which were very good. They made each day something to look forward to as we got a good taste of Germany in different locations.
Each day, ...
