Amsterdam to Europe - River Cruise Viking Vidar Reviews

We were on the first voyage for the year. Everything was seamless in the way it functioned! My Cousin referred me to Viking, based on her experiences with Viking in the past. I loved unpacking once for a 2 week vacation in the spring, yet traveling through the heart of Europe! It’s like staying on a floating 5 star hotel! Only negative thing I can say is that laundry, for some reason, now ...

This was our second river cruise with Viking. The first was 4 years prior. At that time everything was perfect. Due to the prior pandemic we wondered if there would be any changes in service. On this trip we also found everything went perfectly. From the pre trip communication, being met at the airport, transfers, the river cruise itself, shore excursions, food, on board service, and departure, ...

Selected this cruise to see the most of the European interior. Ports of call and excursions afforded a good look into the history and existing circumstances in the visited cities. Local tour guides were knowledgeable and sensitive to limitations posed by some of the less mobile travelers. Excursions seemed to capture the essence of the surrounding area including points of interest with ...

We chose this cruise after we had to cancel our European Sojourn trip because I broke my leg. This is the same cruise bit stops at Budapest instead of going on to Bucharest. I loved the trip. The Netherlands were beautiful. The stops in Germany at Cologne, Rothenberg, Nuremberg Regensburg, and Passau were so interesting. There is so much history and beauty in each of those five cities, ...

We have now cruised with Viking 6 times, 5 river cruises and 1 ocean cruise. This cruise was very good despite the COVID restrictions. Our one complaint was that the cabin that we reserved was occupied by a crew member. Even though we are frequent guests we were shifted to a cabin in the far rear of the ship. I have higher expectations of Viking than this. I would hope that they value their return ...

After many ocean cruises and one cruise on the Nile many years ago, my wife and I took the Grand European Tour from Amsterdam to Budapest to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. We were lucky enough to go during a break in the pandemic restrictions and as a result, our originally scheduled ship was replaced by the Vidar and there were less than half the usual number of passengers on board. Everything ...

My trip on the Vidar with Viking: My flight was changed three times due to the quarantine change with the Netherlands so I lost my flight on Icelandair. This made it difficult to get a PCR test on time for the flight as times kept changing; I had to reschedule four times! The flight I took had me going to Newark New Jersey one of the least vaccinated places for a long layover over six hours. ...

This was our first river cruise. We did a 2 day pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam. The Hotel Pestana Riverside was our hotel arranged by Viking. The hotel was nice, and a good breakfast buffet was included. The services provided by Viking are great. All of the ship staff were great. Gavin, the Vidar Program Director, was excellent. The food on the Vidar was very good, and I really enjoyed the ...

My aunt and I wanted to go to Switzerland to see the Alps after much research our travel agent recommended a Viking River Cruise. I’ve always wanted to visit Amsterdam/Holland to see the windmills so the Rhine Getaway seemed like the opportunity to do two countries that we both wanted to visit. We arrived in Amsterdam and were met by a Viking Representative and taken to the Viking Vidar. Our ...
