Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Hlin

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Our first Viking River Cruises. We Sailed from Basel, Switzerland on the 23d on December 2023 on the Viking Ship Hlin up the Rhine River to Amsterdam. Our Original Viking Sister Ship the Alruna was not available for this River Cruise. Both ships are similar in design and service, and we transition into our A Veranda Stateroom with ease. Several of the Viking Service Staff were present to help ...

This cruise was chosen by our daughter who saw a review of it in 2022 on Tik Tok. It sounded so interesting & different, so all 3 of us booked it together. A day or so before our departure, our ship was changed to the Hlin, because the Tialfi was delayed downriver because of flooding on the Rhine. It was a lovely ship. Decorated for the Holidays, bright, clean & comfortable. The staff could not ...

This was a 7 day river cruise with the option we chose to also stay 2 nights in Amsterdam at the Movenpick. When travelling with food allergies, this is the line to chose! The Maitre D' was on top of the situation at every single meal, and Viking always had delicious and inclusive options for those with allergies. The entire staff was friendly, professional, efficient, sometimes shockingly so! ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
Influenced by friends who sailed in May 2022, we booked the Christmas on the Rhine cruise with Viking for our honeymoon, November 2023. We’re in our early 40s and had an absolutely amazing time on this trip! The average and median age on the cruise was definitely 20-25 years our senior, but please don’t feel like you must be retired to enjoy a trip with Viking. While I think we were the only ...

We were meeting to cruise with friends, we wanted to see several cities and historic sights without the hassle of traveling. This took the guess work out of it. The planning was great! The awesome coordinating of transportation to each of the shore excursions was top notch. The buses were comfortable and the air conditioning was very appreciated since it was hot for September. Our guides were very ...

We have been on 12 ocean cruises and wanted to try a river cruise after hearing good things from friends. This was a much more intimate cruise with only 185 passengers. Service was excellent and we enjoyed many of the ports which were in walking distances of the ship. The included excursions were informative using local guides. We wished that there was more free time after the scheduled tour. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
We never thought of ourselves as "cruise people". We had no desire to vacation on a giant ship with thousands of other guests, especially children, and all of the amenities that we would not take advantage of (pools, casinos, night clubs, amusement park rides, etc.). Nor to travel to the same overcrowded tourist locations with dozens of other ships and tour groups. We definitely didn't want to ...

We had a previous bad experience on another cruise line, but decided to give Viking a try. It was wonderful! Every person on ship and every on-shore tour guide spoke excellent English; so, we could understand perfectly. The food on board ship, both in the restaurant and at the buffet, was excellently prepared and plentiful. The included tours and the optional ones we selected were superb--we ...

This cruise was aspirational for me because it navigated through my ancestral homeland. We were delighted by the crew and itinerary. Highlights included journeys into the countryside, wine tastings and the medieval villages. The pre-cruise extension to Lake Como and a journey through the Alps exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Shandor was exceptional and kept the group connected with each ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to cruise the Rhine. The staff was exceptional, as they always are. Shout out to Wez, who has to be the BEST program director ever !!!! I feel bad for people who have not had him as a PD. Patryk at the front desk was exceptional and did his best to get our luggage to us (which took 5 days). Lea, our cabin attendant was so very sweet and attention, always a ...
