Amsterdam Viking Skirnir Cruise Reviews

This was our first cruise abroad and I could not have been more pleased. The sites were saw were amazing, the tour guides were knowledgeable and informative, the food was gourmet and delicious, the wine and beer plentiful and the ship crew was top notch - professional, friendly, helpful, and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time thanks in most part by Viking. They took very good care of us and ...

We had previously sailed with Viking on a river cruise and found it to be very enjoyable, so we decided to try them again to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. As before, they took care of all the details from start to finish, so all we had to do was unpack, stay informed (they did a great job of communicating the activities that were available), and enjoy the experience. The voyage itself ...

We loved the itinerary of the Grand European Tour. The pace of the cruise was perfect with daily excursions with plenty of time to sit back relax each day. Each excursion that was offered was very enjoyable and offered extra time to spend in the town/city as we needed. The seating for the meals was perfect for meeting new friends. From embarkation to disembarkation, the service of the Viking ...

This was our second Viking River Cruise. The Grand European offered many sites to see, in a 15 day period. We enjoyed seeing Amsterdam, Cologne, and Vienna. Those cities were amazing with so much to see and do. The small towns and cities offered many excursions as well. The food on the ship was very good, as was the wine and beer. The Aquavit Terrace service, during lunch and dinner ...

We were looking forward to our cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest with Viking. Due to low water, we spent some time on buses. Viking did their best to navigate around the low water, however, they knew this was going to be a problem and we were not advised till after the trip began. Europe was experiencing a heat wave and AC was a must. The ship's AC was only operating at 50%, which made the common ...

Wanted to show our adult sons Europe. We were able to many cities and countries. The crew was exceptional anything we needed they provided. Viking takes care of you, we are not experienced travelers, they met us at the airport, got us to the hotel, had people there to expedite check in and give us ideas of what we could do and see before the first scheduled tour. The Hotels they use both pre and ...

We chose this cruise as it sailed from Amsterdam through Europe to Budapest none that we had visited before. We loved the walking tours through all the places visited and we learnt a lot more European history all of which was very educational and interesting.The staff on board were very attentive, new their jobs and good fun making us feel very relaxed. The chef Russel made all meals very ...

This was my first experience with Viking, although I am a pretty active cruiser or was pre covid, including 2 other river cruise companies. I will cut to the chase. It was outstanding 8/10. 2 points off for crabby pursor, unexciting decor, and first 2 days food was basic at best. The decor is simple, but typical modern euro minimalist. Tranquil relaxing blues and beiges. I did expect something ...

“I’m sorry to tell you, but you tested positive for Covid.” Not the words you are supposed to hear when relying on Viking’s “Cruise With Confidence”. But think about it, if you test 125 fully vaccinated and boosted people every day while Covid is raging and the 125 people are “exploring the world with curiosity” some of them are going to get Covid. And we weren’t the first on our boat, the ...

We booked this cruise and my sister and brother-in-law joined us. They were returning to Europe for the first time since their marriage in Germany back in 1967. Had a wonderful time in Amsterdam (two night pre extension) walking around the city. Hotel Okura was pleasant but quite a walk to the museum area. Breakfast buffet was nice buy very pricey. Evening meals were taken at restaurants in the ...
