Budapest to Europe - River Cruise Reviews

My husband tested positive with Covid on day 4 of the 7 day cruise. He had no symptoms. I was negative. They took us back to Vienna and we quarantined for 5 days. We missed half of the cruise, a tour, and a 3 day extension trip in Prague (all prepaid of course). Total costs were about 5K each. Here are all of the misleading and untrue statements we heard repeatedly before our trip and during ...

We booked the Viking Romantic Danube cruise with a group of friends. Altogether, there were nine couples, however, four couples decided not going at the last minute due to the pandemic. I am so glad that we did go with the cruise, as it's such a great experience. What I liked most is the daily activities (short excursions) arranged by the Viking. These short excursions were guided by experienced ...

To begin with the advertisements of Viking on our local Public Broadcasting Station more than piqued my interest. I did A LOT of research in choosing a cruise line. Our friends cruise every year and they choose another line and love it. I compared several and Viking always came out on top. I have toured western Europe on my own and loved all the meticulous planning. I hesitated having someone ...

We cruised on the Danube River on a special interest cruise with Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag. The ship is beautifully decorated, it's modern and very luxurious compared to some other river ships we docked with along the cruise. We stayed in a Panorama Balcony Suite and these are a great way to see the views as the large window can be opened all the way down so you can lean out and see ...

Finally we can travel again and we got to take our cancelled 2020 cruise with Avalon, down the Danube. Overall we were very satisfied with the beautiful boat and cabins. Housekeeping was also excellent, keeping the room clean. Also the bar service was very good and included beer and wine. The cruise director was top notch and kept us well informed and handled all problems very effectively. Most of ...

Had an amazing time sailing along the Danube. This was my first time on a river cruise and it is the perfect way to see so many beautiful cities in one trip. The Panorama Balcony Suite was beautiful with amazing views ever changing from the drop down balcony. The pool, bar and restaurant are all great spaces to relax and unwind, with attentive staff providing a wonderful and friendly ...

We paid for this cruise in 2019 for April 2020. A couple of weeks before take-off, we cancelled and rescheduled for 2021. The cancellation was because of covid, of course. A month or so later, we cancelled the 2021 cruise and rescheduled for 2022. In the meantime, we were able to have family members join us for their first Viking River cruise! This was our second Viking River Cruise. Our ...

This was my wife’s and my first Viking Cruise. And I will have to say it was one of the best vacations we have ever took. The ship, food and service were remarkable. The ability to explore 4 European countries was well planned and executed. The onboard and off board activities were great as well. Both the free and paid for activities allowed us to explore portions of each country and experience ...

We chose this departure to align with flower bloom at Keukenhof Garden in Amsterdam. Weather, water levels and crowds were all good. Food on the Magni was great. They included cuisine from each country we visited and the menu options were very good. Service on board was fantastic too. Only down side was the Covid threat that bounced a few people off of the cruise. I like that Viking is adults ...

A Danube cruise was chosen as my wife had not been to any of the destinations and so in a week we experienced 3 different capital cities as well as some charming countryside. We had previously cruised at sea through Celebrity and Princess so the river experience was familiar in many respects but arguably better due to guaranteed no movement and the ability to moor right in the heart of the ...
