Budapest Senior Cruises Reviews

We chose this river cruise because we had been on the Rhine with Viking before and so enjoyed it. Perhaps August wasn't the best time to travel because we had to deal with low water levels in the Danube that kept us from getting to our final port. That, in turn, kept us from getting to experience our final excursion due to the distance involved in busing us there. Viking was willing to do it, ...

We choose Viking River Cruise on the Danube because of our experience with the Viking River Cruise on the Rhine during Christmas which was fantastic. On the Danube River Cruise, the crew took care of us and exceeded all our expectations. The food was delicious and staff were attentive to our culinary desires. In addition, the bar staff went out of their way to make our cruise memorable. Our ...

Originally booked the cruise because family was going to be going as well. But, they were unable to come. We appreciated that this was an all adult cruise and our fellow passengers were of similar age. We enjoyed getting to know several different couples over meals. Thoroughly enjoyed the company of our fellow passengers. The entertainment on board was very good. The local talent had ...

We took a Viking cruise on the Rhine River and had a marvelous time. Several years passed before we could take another Viking cruise. So this year we cruised the Danube. It was a wonderful cruise; there were interesting tours available at each port. Viking does an outstanding job of providing interesting tours, wonderful tour guides from the local area, transportation when needed... one can ...

I chose Viking for its quality reputation and the trip from Budapest thru Vienna to Germany. Learned a lot of history about austria in WW2 and the cold war. The concentration camp is a must see. The ebike trips were nice. Vienna has so much. Dinners were like good meals in a nice restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Clientele was older (over 65 avg age) but even our ...

We departed Phoenix,AZ on July 12, 2022, bound for a Viking Grand European River Cruise boarding in Budapest, Hungry on the Viking Aegir. We are very experienced cruisers with 9 Viking cruises for myself and 12 for my spouse. Upon arrival we were greeted by Viking representative at the Budapest airport and boarded a bus telling us they had called the ship, and someone would be there to greet us. ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Viking. They couldn't have done more to make our trip even better than we expected. From the time we were met at the airport until we got back to the airport to return home, they were always there to help if needed. Even though we had to change ships due to low water levels, it was just an opportunity to see more of the country on our bus ride to the new ...

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 ...

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 ...
