Budapest to Europe - River Cruise Reviews

Incredible river cruise on the Danube provided by the magnificent AmaMagna! Talking with fellow cruisers one day up on the observation deck, we all remarked how it would be difficult to better the river cruise offered by Ama. Everything was first class: service, food, tours, staterooms, transfers, etc. The post-cruise time in Prague was equally as impressive. The tour director, Nikola, was second ...

Positives: Airport transport perfect Very Clean ship and room Excellent service and staff Intelligent and witty guides Good choice of foods (I have allergies so it worked well for me) and you could order anything you wanted off the menu. There were no rules. Beverage package Pleasant entertainment from 9-10 Very organized days that went off without a hitch Cheerful and ...

First river cruise and we were looking forward to visiting Budapest and Vienna. We felt that the brochure misrepresented the schedule of the sailing. We boarded in Budapest on the afternoon of the first day of the trip. Despite lack of specific information on which dock the ship would be, we found it easily. There were several crew members available to help carry our luggage down the several ...

The employees of the Scenic Amber were nothing short of amazing. They couldn’t do enough for us. From the moment we boarded the ship, they pampered us. Our cruise director, Cathy was so energetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and available. The restaurant and bar staff, especially Michael, Sandy, Alex, Aleksandar, Katerina, Viktorya, and Andrei were so professional, friendly and hard working. And ...

This Scenic Danube river cruise plus Oberammergau was a once in a lifetime event. Almost everything was perfect, and it was a truely five star all inclusive experience. I had a single cabin with a balcony which was especially built for solo travelers. This made the single supplement relatively reasonable. I especially liked the Scenic app which had a personal narrative keyed to each portion of the ...

I am one of those naïve and gullible people who fell for Viking River Cruises because he relied on the exaggerated, positive descriptions by the parent company. “The World's Leading River Cruise Line, The Most Awarded River Cruise, Best Inclusive Value, and the Viking® Difference” sounded, great, generous, and luxurious. I admit I had not read all reviews available on the Internet that have rated ...

We booked this cruise primarily for the Passion Play in Oberammergau and enjoyed all ports of call. We had Viking throughout--Viking Air and the pre-cruise stay. A little trouble with airlines but who doesn't incur that now. Luckily, we made all flights and our luggage was at its final destination. We were three hours late coming into Munich but we called Viking and their agent met us at the ...

Our wives decided on it. It was the summer of 2022. We cruised with pre trip in Budapest and post in Prague. Overall the trip was excellent. Only one extra excursion was disappointing. It was to a small settlement I can’t remember the name. Maybe if Viking asked me after the trip to write a review rather than a year later I would remember. COVID was in a surge as we departed Budapest on the ...

We chose to sail from Budapest to Amsterdam on the Emerald Luna. Initially we chose Emerald because of their all inclusive policy and option of active activities in addition to the regular tours. We were initially apprehensive as Emerald's offices have been difficult to reach since they were hacked several months ago. However, we received our documents the week before by email and our flights to ...

We chose Viking for their reputation, first. When they announced "free airfare" and $25 deposit, it was too good to pass up. At 60yrs. old, we were afraid we would be the youngest ones on the ship. That was far from the truth. We met really fun passengers older and younger than us. Viking took care of everything. We did as much or as little as we wanted, when it came time to tour or being ...
