Review for a Europe - All Cruise on AmaBella

We cruised on the AmaBella to the Christmas Markets. This was my first river cruise. I have been on over 65 ocean cruises, traveled to 108 countries and all seven continents. I have been cruising since 1980 when I was 18 years old and took my first cruise. The pre-cruise portion with Ama was just ok. We were booked in a standard room at a nice hotel. The cruise portion is where it gets bad. ...

We booked the top level cat 7 because we wanted it to be special even though it was expensive, almost twice as much as the lower levels. The water was low on the river and caused the cruise to turn into a BUS trip. Tauck did a terrible job of handling this. For the first six days they bussed us from place to place, packing and unpacking several times. While on the "BUS excursion" the food was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Sailed on a 15 day cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Scenic Ruby on August 28th, 2023. Flights and everything booked through scenic. On the boat the food, drinks, staff were fantastic but delayed and cancelled flights at both ends cause lots of stress. Because it was a Sunday no calls to scenic were answered and we had to organize alternate flights ourselves with no help from scenic. Our ...

Just returned from a great Danube Waltz cruise - BUD-Passau on the Ingvi. We had the included air. Did not use Air+ and had excellent flights (ATL-FRA-BUD and MUC-ATL). Layover in FRA less than 2 hours was plenty to go through immigration and get to next flight. Several Viking greeters met us and about 10 minutes later were on bus with 8 others to boat. Cruise Director Suzy hopped on bus, ...

Part of the charm of a Viking river cruise is the interaction with other passengers. Ship size and configuration creates a more intimate environment. In such an environment, Viking has a responsibility for the safety of its passengers when a communicable disease occurs on board. Viking failed in their responsibility to safeguard their passengers when Viking did not inform us that a passenger was ...

To celebrate my 75th birthday, as an early present from my husband, we decided to take a Viking River Cruise. We picked Viking because of their excellent reputation and ratings. We were impressed with the advertisements we saw on TV showing the ships docked in town; implying it would be easy to visit each stop. So in April 2022, we booked a 7-day Danube Waltz aboard the Viking Ingvi from ...

Review Are you under 70? Do you like an active lifestyle? Do you enjoy great food and wine? Do you like to socialize with well educated and cultured travelers? If so, DO NOT CRUISE WITH EMERALD WATERWAYS. We did the Danube River from Budapest to Bucharest. The average passenger was British, 75 years old, had difficulty walking, and complained about everything. I was prevented from taking a ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We had taken a Viking cruise from Budapest to Bucharest two years earlier, and thought that two weeks on a ship from Budapest to Amsterdam, passing through some areas that we had not visited before or had seen decades earlier, would be pleasant. Little did we know that Europe would experience five months without rain, that the rivers would be too low for the ships to sail, and that two-thirds of ...

We've had done 4 European river cruises over the years - 2 with Viking and 2 with other companies and we wanted to do the 2-week Grand European River Cruise as part of a relaxing October vacation. This trip, however, turned out to be a total disaster from start to finish - anything but relaxing! Viking has yet to offer us adequate compensation for our ruined vacation. and until they make things ...

Chose Scenic based on online reviews etc. Considered it to be one of the top river cruise companies. We were very disappointed at service levels and food. Breakfast and lunch were major disappointments with minimal options and “cafeteria-feel” in the restaurant area. Our first lunch on the ship offered salads and the only hot food option : “liver balls”! For the money paid to take the trip, ...
