1-10 of 78 Viking Bragi Cruise Reviews for River to Europe - River from Amsterdam
Wanted to visit Christmas markets during December . We were not disappointed! Crew was great. Service was excellent, Inna our steward, Rea and Brandi. David the cruise director was awesome. Experienced captain made great decisions which allowed us to complete voyage. Some ships unable to complete route and were stranded which ended their trip early. Rapid rising water from snow melt prevented some ...
We were in need of a break from our “normal.” Celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary, needed something better than normal. Viking Grand European far outweighs the Normal!! We had a spectacular time and cannot wait to go again. The Staff welcomed us aboard and treated us better than family. Our Explorer Suite was a palace. Vladi made sure it was spotless. Chef Floren fed us like a King and ...
My wife and I wanted to experience the culture of Europe without worrying about transportation. There is no other way to enjoy yourselves completely without letting Viking handle every aspect of the trip. I am a professional CDL driver and my wife is the Muhammad Ali of packing. Viking had us both covered since I never had to touch a steering wheel and she only unpacked and repacked once. While ...
We purchased this cruise as a Christmas present to ourselves in 2022 and were scheduled to sail from Amsterdam to Budapest in November 2023. We had never done a river cruise before and were so excited for it. It did not disappoint!!
Two weeks was the perfect length of time. We were the youngest couple on board but we made so many friends. To any future cruisers, don't let age hold you back! ...
I was interested in visiting all of the places on the itinerary. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because we had to switch ships in the middle of the trip. It was not Viking's fault and they absolutely handled it like pros! Mother Nature was at fault. If I could have given a 4.9 I would ! The staff was wonderful, the ship was spotless, the food and drink were delicious, and the tour ...
We chose this cruise because it sailed to places we had not been and wanted to see. Our Cruise Director, Hotel Manager, Chef, and all other crew members were exceptional. Viking goes above and beyond to ensure a positive guest experience.
We enjoyed visiting medieval villages like Regensburg, Germany, and touring the Melk Abbey. A highlight and surprise was the classical Concert we attended in ...
Some of the things that have been picked up as criticisms by other reviewers are really to be expected. Water levels can change on the Rhine/Danube on your river cruise depending on the time of year, and a swap of boats was no problem whatsoever. We packed up in the morning, went on a day trip and rejoined a new boat, same cabin, everything looked the same with our baggage in the room, not a ...
We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary on Jul 21, 2023. We decided to treat ourselves and chose the Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. We arrived a few days earlier to visit family in Amsterdam. Viking made all the arrangements and were were very happy. We truly enjoyed how Viking made the trip flawless, relaxing and even when we had to switch ships due to low water levels, it ...
We went at this time to see the tulips before the cruise began, which we did. As expected the weather was dicey, some good days some not.
The cruise itself was very good. Food was great, company was great. We purposefully did not sit at the same table every night in order to meet new people. For the most part the free tours and the "paid extra" tours were very good. We had trouble with 2 in ...
This cruise was definitely the first of many with Viking!
I traveled with my grandmother and we both had an exceptional experience. We did have a great time since we departed until we got back home. Viking arranged everything for us so it was a very smooth trip all together and we couldn't be more thankful.
We were able to enjoy this trip at our own pace while being part of the fascinating ...
