Basel to Europe Viking Sigrun Cruise Reviews

Christmas on the Rhine - that’ll be special and nice I thought. What a crushing disappointment that turned out to be, onboard Viking Sigrun. Chose Viking off the back of good online reviews and those of friends who had travelled with them, and expectations were high. Before even starting the trip Viking delivered disappointment . This trip was booked in the previous March and in June ...

My wife and I selected a Viking Rhine River cruise with Lake Como pre-extension for our 15th anniversary gift to each other. Although our expectations were high based on prior research, I have to say that the Viking ship, staff, and cruise experience delivered a fabulous experience. We were blessed with favorable weather and water levels for our cruise dates. The onboard experience was fantastic: ...

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 ...

My wife and I had a lovely time on our cruise from Basel to Amsterdam. The highlights were the service and the food, both really amazing. Also, all the guests we met were fantastic and fun. The tour stops were interesting and enjoyable, if a bit sanitized compared to what we're used to. The Black Forest bike tour was a highlight, along with Cologne, Strasbourg and Speyer. There were a couple of ...

Loved the itinerary stops, staff, and food! This was our second Viking River cruise and it did not disappoint. The staff went above and beyond in their service to us. We were on the bottom level of the ship. Both my husband and I use canes for mobility. Coming up and down the bottom staircase and going to the outside top deck from the bar area was challenging at times but we were able to utilize ...

The crew and staff were outstanding! The food was beyond 4 Star-so much so that on days we could have eaten in the port city, we chose to come back to eat at the ship. Our wait staff made our trip so enjoyable and we looked forward to interacting with them each meal. The chef even came out after most dinners so ask about the meal and chat a bit. Evenings in the lounge were casual and fun. ...

This cruise was selected due to the Viking reputation and the free air fare promotion from Viking. We added the Lake Como pre cruise extension and the Amsterdam post cruise extension. The total for the trip was 14 days counting the overnight flight. Lake Como was incredible. It is beautiful and the food is great. On board the Viking Sigrun, everything ran smoothly. Our cabin was clean and ...

First time on a river boat cruise and would definitely do such a cruise again and definitely would use Viking. Onboard attention to detail was superb. Excursions were well planned, well organized and very fun. Particularly liked the castle tour and the WWII tour of the Audi Murphy experience. WIFI/Internet was disappointing but was acceptable. Appreciated the chef having main menu items that were ...

We wanted to renew old connections with Cologne, Strasbourg, Koblenz and Amsterdam. The trip was a success in that respect. We made wonderful memories in each of these locations, and had dinner with old friends in Cologne. Viking supported this goal beautifully. At every turn we were surprised with the perfection of Viking's detailed planning and execusion of our excursions, the extension ...
