Amsterdam Viking Njord Cruise Reviews

This was our very first Viking Cruise and it proved to be as amazing as we expected. It was a great way to experience the "Rhine River" and visit the countries along the way. Our pre-cruise extension trip to Lucerne was exceptional and would love to go back again. Our ship, the "Njord", was elegant and our Veranda Suite was very comfortable. The sailing was so smooth, you hardly knew we were ...

Viking met our expectations! We had a wonderful time. Excellent Crew and Staff. More historical information should have been presented from day 1 regarding the places we would be touring. From a health perspective, the ship should have a medical officer or nurse on board. There were over 12 individuals on the ship that were very sick and possibly contagious. While it is difficult to ...

We wanted to visit as many countries as we could, and by traveling on the Rhine with Viking, we were able to experience four countries. From the moment we got to our boat we never had to do a thing again with our luggage, dinner plans or sightseeing. Everything was orchestrated to perfection. Viking has plenty of experience making the guest feel like they are number 1, and you truly can ...

I chose this cruise because I use to live in Germany and wanted to see it again. The cruise was wonderful. Every detail is taken care of. We were treated like royalty. Loved it and plan to go again There is nothing I could say to improve our experience. The cabin was always tidy and clean every time we went there. Welcomed home every time we came aboard. The food was excellent The wait staff ...

I have never river cruised before so my family chose Viking for the value of the package. I thought since the average age is 60 we would have a lot of down time. Not at all. We enjoyed every minute and the programs. All the included tours were fantastic and you still have time to do something else on your own if you wish. The only stop, which was the Black Forest, was a let down but after that ...

We had done this cruise before but in reverse order and had convinced friends to try it. when they booked it we agreed to go with them. I did not enjoy my time in town going this way though. When you go from Amsterdam to Basel you are going upstream and it slows the boat down. this does not allow the same amount of time to visit the towns you stop in. Not having time in town means the walking tour ...

We picked Viking because of the great online reviews and friends/family who did Viking River Cruises in the past and loved them. We had an amazing time, I would highly recommend Viking and this specific voyage to anyone. The customer service was excellent!! Our room was cleaned multiple times a day, we had the same housekeeper each day (Zori), and she kept the room tidy and spotless. She ...

We have taken ocean cruises and enjoyed the entertainment available on the big ships. So we were not sure what to expect on a ship that entertains you by taking you to interesting and very old towns along the river Rhine. We chose the shorter (could have done 2 weeks on Danube) in the event river cruising was not for us. Could easily have done the 2 weeks on one of the Viking longboats. Very ...

The Viking Cruise was an amazing mix of interesting places with good guides, wonderful people (fellow customers and service staff) nice facilities and exceptionally well managed operations and activities. Our only problem was with the reservation staff and travel planning. (A 24-hour two transfer plane trip from Europe was the longest ever for us.) Their performance was unfortunately mediocre ...

We took the Rhine Getaway cruise because we can’t go on ocean cruises. It was fabulous. Everything was relaxing from the moment we walked on the ship. Cabin was as expected. The food was delicious. Loved trying all the local foods the ship chef cooked for each destination. Our server Margorie was the best. She knew what we would enjoy at each meal. She was always smiling and we absolutely ...
