Viking Basel Cruise Reviews

Overall staff was GREAT!! But the Hotel in Lake Como was not the best. Issues with electric in room and one of the front desk (female) was not very helpful. Food was excellent, transfers without an issue. Included exclusions were good. We were a little disappointed in some of the paid exclusions. Would like to have had more time to explore in each port, and maybe add additional ports. Meet some ...

We know people that did this same cruise and loved it. It was great to see many towns/cities along the Rhine. The hospitality was excellent. We really enjoyed the food as well. The tour guides on the excursions were all excellent. We especially enjoyed our excursion to the monastery with wine tasting and dinner. The other excursion we loved was the pub crawl. We met many wonderful people on ...

Chose this cruise based on our experience with the Viking Danube Cruise. Love the vessels, and the staff provided wonderful service, accommodations and dining. Included tours were excellent and just right for our physical capabilities. We had a comfortable experience and were able to enjoy each of the destinations. Our cruise director was attentive and was able to accommodate our desire for a ...

My partner and I are recently engaged and were looking for a romantic spot to get married. We chose the Viking River Cruise so we could explore foreign countries with the intention of returning with our friends on another cruise to get married. We selected the Njord to explore the Rhine. We were very satisfied with the choice of excursions, our cabin, front desk service and dining. However, ...

My aunt and two cousins and I had planned this trip since 2018! We were so excited and Viking never once let us down! Everything was top notch, and as a professional organizer I was blown away! Food, service and excursions were all exemplary. The staterooms were so well laid out with lots of storage space. We did not experience one moment of discontent. Renee is an excellent PD and worth her ...

We had very high expectations from all the advance work we did before choosing Viking. We were NOT disappointed! The ship was a perfect size, the clientele was mature, respectful, friendly and all enjoying themselves. The crew was amazing. They seemed to exist only to answer our questions and provide for our comfort and enjoyment. The embarkation and disembarkation procedures were painless ...

The cruise allowed 3 sets of our family members to spend vacation together. Viking staff on board were absolutely fabulous! I honestly can not say enough nice things about them. The rooms are comfortable with nice mattress but be warned. Even though you may pay extra for a balcony room, Viking docks often right along side another Viking ship, so you lose your nice privacy and view. Walking ...

We chose this cruise because it ended up in Amsterdam where we booked the extension so we could see Keukenhof Gardens in their prime. The whole trip was wonderful. Viking representatives were right there when we landed in Basel and helped us transfer to the boat. Viking is so well organized and every excursion went seamlessly. Service on board is top notch and we truly enjoyed the great meals. ...

I chose this cruise specifically for the immersive educational experience as well as getting to know as many places as possible in 8 days. Although I’ve gone on local / domestic cruises in So Cal, I didn’t research International cruise lines; but, I was informed that Viking was one of the best so I just took a leap of faith! The boarding experience, transportation and customer service is ...

My wife and I did this cruise 5-years-ago for our 35th anniversary. Of course we placed a lock on the railroad bridge, as have over 350,000 others over the years. To celebrate our 40th anniversary we decided to take this cruise again - almost to the day as five years ago. Our intention was to be in Cologne on the 39th - our anniversary, and to attend Mass at the Cologne cathedral . We were able ...
