This river cruise was a great experience! I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a small boat so we were able to meet more people and form better relationships with those around us. The onboard entertainment was better than I had expected. There was great music and activities on board during sailing days and as well as other days. The enrichment programs were very well done and gave us a greater ...

Was on our bucket list and was so impressed with all aspects of the cruise, staff, food, service and the excursions. One the nice things about the Viking River Cruise was that it had only 190 passengers so that you got to meet a lot of new people and it made it more friendly. Everyday brought a new adventure and the crew members always had smiles on their faces. They bent over backwards to be ...

This was our first river trip and it was recommended to us by AAA. The air travel was on time and the tourist seating was comfortable and adequate. Our arrival time in Basel did not allow extra time to spend time in Basel, and we were excited to explore the ship and our cabin. Arrival on the ship was gracious, friendly and efficient, and we would learn that this is the way of the Viking Vidar. ...

Our cruise was so much more than we expected! The ship, the food, the crew, and the tours were amazing! We loved the ship from top to bottom! Attention was paid to every detail from the warm welcome to the coffee bar to the beautiful restaurant and lounge! Our cabin was stocked with every amenity we could think of and the bed was so comfortable and the view was spectacular!! I think my ...

Over a thousand years ago, the Vikings sailed their long ships throughout Western Europe. They braved the seas and glided over the river systems, conquering wherever they went. Today, you see a bigger, sleeker and much friendlier version taking over the cruising world. In 2011, we saw our first of many Viking River Cruise commercials on PBS. Okay, PBS doesn’t do commercials (haha), but their ...

My husband and I booked the Rhine cruise through Costco which we felt gave us great value with extra perks. I don’t think Costco sells Viking anymore but they should! The trip was great. We enjoyed a balcony room that was very comfortable with a lot of space to put things and move around. The balcony gave the room a feel of being bigger than it was. One couple in our group took the small window ...

We chose this cruise to explore the scenic Rhine River, especially the mid-Rhine castles. The German food and hospitality was excellent. What we hadn't expected was how beautiful Basel was. The whole city, but especially the Altstadt, was beautiful, the people were very friendly, the transportation was outstanding and the food was excellent. The Vidar was well maintained and clean. It almost ...

I’ve wanted to cruise the Rhein for many years. My relatives have been on two Rhein cruises with other companies and enjoyed them very much. A friend recommended Viking after returning from a recent cruise, After researching many river cruise lines, Viking seemed to be the best choice. The Rhein River cruise was excellent. The most important thing to me was the cleanliness of my cabin and the ...
