Chose Viking based on its reputation and the recommendations of friends. Really appreciated how they went out of their way to accommodate us when COVID saw us have to reschedule our cruise two years in a row!
Yes, its "upscale" in terms of pricing compared to some other river cruise lines, but its well worth it. Excursions were well organized and efficient, informative. Really appreciate the ...
We wanted to visit Budapest because my husband had relatives that immigrated from there during WW II. Austria and Germany were countries we were eager to see, and we added Nuremberg and Prague for the WW II info and the beauty of Prague.The tour guides we had were friendly and knowledgable. The took great care to assure everyone was taken care of and accounted for.
We loved how calm and ...
Why this cruise? Wanted to spend a few days visiting friends in Budapest before cruise and have heard rave reviews from others about Viking.
The overall efficiency coupled with the totally guest-oriented staff made it a super experience! Every stop was well planned. Choices of available excursions were exactly what we wanted. This cruise was at the tail end of the COVID era and we had to ...
Cruise Director reviewed the disembarking process for Friday. He explained that everyone would get a notice of what time to leave the ship on Friday morning and would be given a box breakfast for the road and the assistance of a Viking agent through check-in at the airport.
At the bus parking area of terminal 2 the driver unloaded all 5 pieces of our luggage in the parking lot and got back ...

Danube River cruise: Budapest to Bucharest on Viking Vidar longship. 130 passengers (190 capacity)
Veranda staterooms: rather small and totally devoid of wall art; only color was from 2 turquoise throw pillows on the bed. One hard chair. Balcony barely large enough for 2 people.
Dining: main dining room was pretty much the only choice since the Aquavit ...
I had cruised on Viking to Budapest and wanted to return there and see close-up what I had only seen on the bus in Pest. I chose this cruise because I was interested in seeing the "rest" of the Danube and Transylvania. The countries of Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania were impacted differently than other European countries by history and communism. The culture, the food and the landscape were ...
We arrived in Budapest to begin what was for us an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks aboard the Viking Gefjon en-route to Amsterdam. This was our first river cruise and we vowed that we would do it again. The food, accommodations and service were all excellent as was that of our tour director. All of the guided tours and available upgrade tours were well planned and offered a variety of cultural and ...

We choose this cruise due to friends' recommendations. We were so very impressed with the service, arrangements, and how well Viking managed the cruise. Flying into a foreign country where you do not know the language can cause anxiety, but a Viking representative was right there at baggage claim to help us with the entire process. All "issues" during the cruise, such as COVID testing and ship ...

It was cancelled again and booked in 2022. And finally we got to sail in 2022 for our 52 anniversary. It was everything we expected and more. Going from Budapest to Amsterdam turned out to be great even though we were wanting to extend ...
