I loved the itinerary, and it stopped at all the ports I have always dreamed to visit. The timing was perfect as far as when the ship left the ports and traveled the river. I felt I had a lot of time on my own to visit ports as I wished. The food was exceptional, and the service was unmatched! It’s such a small ship. It seems that everyone gets to know each other pretty well by the time it’s over. ...

Detailed and personalized service from the beginning to the end. Best cruise ever! The staff were friendly . We have been to many cruises before and so far this is the best. From house keeping to the waiters , and the Chef was exceptional . I can't say enough about the foods. We had a variety of foods on the menu and every day was something different ...

I was fortunate to experience the Grand European Viking Cruise in 2017 and loved the entire experience. I wanted to take another Viking cruise and chose the Swiss Alps to Paris as my second cruise. We experienced beautiful scenery in Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg and France. Switzerland was our favorite as the entire country was gorgeous. We have beautiful mountains in Montana but the alps are ...

This was a 'bucket list' cruise which did not disappoint. We had sailed with Viking in China (5 stars) and this could not compare with that experience. That said, it delivered on all of its promises, with the exception of the hotel accomodation before and after. The experience on the ship was excellent, made better by the seamless planning and execution of the outstanding staff on board. By the ...

This was my dream vacation and it surely did not disappoint. Viking really knows how to take care of their quests. It will be hard to cruise with any other cruise lines. I thought the price was pretty good. It included airfare, pre and post cruise package, drink, package, and an excursion at every port. We did sign up for a couple other excursions while we were on the cruise but after ...

My sister & I chose the Viking Swiss Alps to Paris Cruise to celebrate her retirement & my 60th Birthday. We felt that a river cruise would be a great way to experience Europe. The Hild was a beautiful ship to cruise on. The service was exceptional & we so enjoyed being greeted by name everyday. Our crew were so helpful & accommodating with everything from housekeeping to travel arrangements. ...

We had always wanted to go to Europe and thought this a perfect way to see and learn as much as possible in the time we had. Our cabin was ample for the time we spent in it and the crew could not have been more accommodating or pleasant. The rooms were always clean and all we had to do was ask if we needed something. In every aspect, the crew was FABULOUS! This included the time we spent on ...

I wanted to see the German cities along the Rhine. The views of castles and vineyards were spectacular. The ship moves silently along the river. We felt pampered the whole way by the attentiveness of the crew and their efforts to fulfill their customers' wishes. Disembarking for shore trips was well managed, dividing the shipful of guests up into manageable groups for the tours. The shore ...

Disappointing, misleading and uncaring

Five days in advance, we checked with Viking because we heard that water levels were low, and we were told that "Everything is fine." That was totally untrue; the ship had been docked in one place for the previous two weeks! We had to be transported by bus, and spent 13 hours on buses in the final two days alone. Did not see everything that was featured. Viking did not offer alternatives that ...

We sailed the end of September and early October 2018 (not a choice in date sailed box). Never been to Sweden before. Best part was post cruise, wine tasting stops, "Highlights of the Alps" and Zermatt. Hotel Alex in Zermatt was exceptional I would highly recommend the post tour and Hotel Alex! The weather was clear and the Matterhorn was spectacular! This was our 5th Viking River Cruise ...
