Viking Basel Cruise Reviews

RHINE RIVER CRUISE (2023-09-24 TO 2023-10-02) EMBARKATION 9/24 UBER driver arrived 10 minutes early than 5 AM reservation but that was fine. $2.90 airport surcharge, booking fee $9.14, reservation fee $5.00. LAS to ATL went off without a hitch, wheelchair was waiting right in the jet way and took us to the Delta lounge. Then arranged wheelchair to go to the gate for CDG. CDG is a maze ...

This was a special anniversary for my wife and myself. We had never been on a river cruise prior to this but we had heard positive feedback and wanted to give it a try. The cruise itself was fantastic, very relaxing and well organized all around. We had several included excursions as well as we went on a few additional excursions. All of them had fabulous guides and really added to our ...

The service aboard this ship was astounding! Literally no stone unturned. There were a dozen of us friends together and we all loved it. Amazing tours! Especially loved the WWII tour in Colmar. Great excursion. Bike riding through the windmill area in Kinderdijk was also a highlight. The local guides for each tour were exceptional!! A good mix of humor and history and the groups were small. We had ...

We chose this particular trip as our first-ever cruise. The duration seems right, not too long, since we did not know if we would like it. The trip was amazing from our pre-extension in Basel to our departure in Amsterdam. Viking thought and managed every detail. The quality of service and personable staff were excellent. Anything I asked for to make our stay more comfortable appeared in our ...

My friend and I celebrate our Birthdays a day apart. We decided in January to take this Cruise. My friend had never been to Europe and I had not been to this particular region where both sides of my family came from to the United States about One Hundred years ago. The day we flew, there were some hiccups due to weather and we bolted to the gates to make our flights. The Viking team ...

For years my wife has wanted to see castles so the Rhine River cruise seemed to fit the bill. Even before we left the communication and detail of the pre-trip experience gave us confidence and comfort that everything was prepared and ready to go. We booked our flights through Viking as well in hopes it made the entire experience seamless. It was. From the moment we boarded the flight to ...

First time on a Viking Cruise. (Was on a river cruise.) We stayed in the lower stateroom on the ship. The rooms were fine, super clean and bright. River cruise boats are small, so the trip to the upper decks are short and sweet! Cash saved was nice, versus paying for a balcony that wasn't really needed! The ship was super clean! All staff was very friendly, Cruise director was great, Daniel. ...

We had several friends who took this cruise and we did a lot of research. We have taken several ocean cruises and wanted something different. Good itinerary , great food, lots of choices, great breakfast buffet and you can add French toast, eggs benedict, etc. at the table. Plenty of time off ship to do things. Older crowd then we are in early seventies. Met lots of people. A lot of walking but ...

We have travelled extensively throughout the US and Europe, but never on a cruise. The reason we never did a cruise is that we were not comfortable with a huge cast of thousands on a gigantic ship. So a river cruise was the perfect introduction. I have spend a lost of time with companies working on improving customer experience. Whatever the secret ingredient is that Viking has in hiring ...

This was my first cruise ever, but I was traveling with five friends who had all been on cruises before. Two of our group had previously been on Viking. I had heard nothing but good things from friends and acquaintances who had taken Viking before, and they all were very positive in their comments so I was really looking forward to a great trip and I was absolutely not disappointed. The ship ...
