Amsterdam to Europe Viking Vali Cruise Reviews

This is our second Grand European cruise. We so enjoyed the first one 3 years ago that we decided we would do another in the opposite direction. About half way thru the cruise we had to change ships to the Viking Rolf due to low water conditions. This ship was also excellent and was a virtual twin to the Viking Vali. Both crews were excellent and our cruise director also transferred to the new ...

Viking provides a top quality cruising experience. I was impressed by their attention to details. It was the little things I saw that often go unnoticed, but enhance the cruising experience. The common areas were kept very clean and tidy. I would see the staff wiping down the stairs and rails regularly. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and greeted you each time. The included ...

This is our first river cruise and we are glad we chose Viking. Their Grand European Tour gives a wide perspective of modern day Europe, the ship is clean and modern, and the staff are all friendly. The meals are delicious and the dining room staff is efficient yet low-key. What sets Viking apart from the rest, though, is the depth of their excursion program. It gives you something to look ...

My wife and I had a wonderful experience on Viking's Vali. The Captain and crew showed us the best they had to offer. They were attentive and courteous. The chief and his staff prepared a menu, each night, that was appealing, there was a variety of options, and taste good as well. Our room was kept clean and sanitize within Vikings criteria. We did wear masks and took a daily covid test but that ...

We took the Grand Tour in late November to early December, from Amsterdam to Budapest. As with a reviewer who took the return cruise on the Vali right after our trip, there were some inconveniences due to COVID policies in Europe. Many Christmas markets were closed, but not all. And Austria was in lockdown, hence no visit to Vienna. Viking tried to detour to/add Bratislava, but it too shut ...

From the moment my wife and I booked with Viking, it was a worry-free experience. Phone assistance was excellent. The booker who assisted us was patient and informative. She found us the best price and accommodation on the Grand European Tour Aboard the Vali, Deck 3, room with veranda. We were met at the Budapest airport, all baggage handled by the Viking staff. Even with the many ...

My husband and I chose the Grand European Tour after I cruised the Romantic Danube with my mother and sister in 2018. We were on one of the first ships to sail in 2021, after months of COVID shutdowns, and the Viking family did everything possible to make us feel safe and cared for despite continued COVID concerns. The food and wine selections were fabulous, as usual. The cabin is very well ...

I love this cruse!!!! The staff was amazing. I cannot say enough about the staff, the cruise director, and especially the bar tenders, Christian, and Voli were the best. Both are excellent bar tenders, and they were not afraid to try new drink concoctions with the available liquor on board. The cleaning staff was amazing, and I didn't have to ask for one thing extra, as it was always ready and ...

This sailing was one of Viking's first after Covid restrictions were being lifted. The accommodations on board, including a well-appointed room, and excellent dining and meal preparation were terrific. But most importantly, the crew, without exception, were wonderful. They were always helpful, without being intrusive. They were upbeat and focused on making our voyage the best it could be. Our ...
