This was our first river cruise and we absolutely loved it. The ship was nice and small to navigate and the service was intimate. The cruise director was so knowledgable and friendly. The rooms were so clean and inviting. The entire ship was new and did not look run down for how old the ship was. Each meal was a 5 star meal and it was very delicious! Each destination was amazing and the ...
Vilking staff were so helpful kind and efficient. Really wonderful. Food was well presented and consistently good. Regional dishes/wine/beer are included when possible. Don’t forget to ask for regional -included wine or beer.. as it changes. Many meals include both menu ordering and buffet. They individually cared for those with dietary restrictions. Tip: (just ask) I forgot to order my salad ...
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 ...
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 ...
Gentle joyful fun. My friend that I’ve known since fourth grade was my travel partner. We both turned 70 within a two week time period. We both had had many years of high stress. Viking made this so gentle and such fun I can’t really express. I am hopeful to take another trip with her as well as with my wonderful husband who made this wonderful birthday trip happen. The food was delightful, the ...
We can’t say enough about how fabulous our Rhine River cruise was on the Idun. Viking handled all of the details and we couldn’t be more impressed. Flight layovers were long enough that we didn’t have to worry about missing a connection (but not annoyingly long, either). Transfer from the airport to the ship was perfect. Our room was delightful. Small, but we knew we wouldn’t be spending much ...
We had always wanted to experience a river cruise and we finally did. It was everything we hoped for and more. Viking strives for excellence and pretty much hits the mark. Everything was top notch and always on time. Food was excellent. Service was excellent, and so on. Can’t wait to plan another trip with Viking. I haven’t talked to anyone yet that has been disappointed with their experience with ...
We chose this cruise, along with our dear friends, as our first cruise ever and first trip to Europe. Our Viking experience was truly wonderful and we all agreed that the level of service was extraordinary. We did all the included excursions along with several others that were optional. The windmills walking tour was fantastic. We chose 2 extra nights in Amsterdam at the onset of our trip and the ...
Viking had us covered! We were happy with the food, the service, the excursions, the staff! I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. My only complaints were the very small beds (and we had issues with the reservation process which I will send in separately). I also wish the elevator went to the top floor, for those with mobility limitations this was an issue. Hope this will be a feature in future ...
We chose this cruise line based on recommendations by friends. It exceeded all expectations in all categories throughout our 15 day cruise. The staff worked seamlessly with Alaina’s excellent leadership! The food was top quality and absolutely delicious! The wait staff was professional, well organized, paid attention to details, all while being friendly. Each excursion was organized and timely. ...
