Budapest Senior Cruises Reviews

We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus. The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...

Cruise did not disappoint, and Viking was great to when issues arose. The Grand European Cruise was great with all the stops and planned events. Food fantastic and crew members were awesome! Definity a must for the bucket list The process of getting luggage to the ship was seamless and the transportation arranged was spot on. The staff is there for your every need and will help in assisting ...

Luxury crusing at its best. Although our tour was booked on the Jewel, we actually sailed on the sister ship the Jade, due to prior water level. On arrival we were greated by friendly staff that quickly became like family. The rooms are spacious and beds are top quality. Our personal butler, cabin steward, bar staff, wait staff, activities crew members and all others behind the scenes were ...

We had the explorer suite which is phenomenal! It was like our own apartment to view the whole trip. We spent time on the balcony sipping wine and viewing the beautiful Danube from Budapest to Passau. Leaving Budapest at night, the lights were amazing as we traveled under each bridge. We also went through 9 or 10 locks. I was aware of and watched two that were huge and very cool to experience. ...

We particularly enjoy river cruising, especially on Viking! Our cruise was from Bucharest, Romania to Budapest, Hungary. We chose this cruise because we were curious about the countries in this part of the Danube River. As we expected, we had excellent guides and excursions. The countries we visited are still recovering from the Communist era and the guides were honest in their appraisal of the ...

Due to high water levels we started our cruise on the Scenic Ruby from Budapest. We joined the Scenic Crystal in Rudesheim. We we were therefore able to compare the two ships. Ruby is older but basically the same as Crystal except Crystal has Deluxe Balcony rooms which we had booked. The Ruby was in better condition than Crystal. Crystal had ripped and stained carpets. We found the staff, ...

Been receiving Viking brochures for several years but were turned off by the high prices. Since we are now retired, we decided to splurge and we are so happy we did. Turns out the high cost is well worth it for the experience. Included excursions in all ports, excellent meals with wine and beer included, nightly entertainment, and constant pampering by the attentive crew made our experience ...

The Viking crew was fantastic. They took care of everything, always a friendly smile and cheerful hello. The food and entertainment were wonderful. We witnessed lots of team work and professionalism at every level from the ship’s manager, cruise director and captain all the way down the chain including maintenance and housekeeping. It was so nice to have the entire tripped planned and to be picked ...

Our daughter lives in Germany and we wanted to try a River cruise - this was our first time. The itinerary was ideal and hit a series of stops that were very enticing: BudaPest, Wien, Krems, Pasau and finally Regensburg where our daughter met us at the end of the cruise. We were very fortunate to have ideal weather for the cruise which made it all the better. Discovered areas that we'd not ...

This was our first-ever river cruise experience. We did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos about the experience so we felt pretty well prepared for the trip. What we found is most people's pros/cons experiences were pretty consistent with ours. Knowing what we know now we also would have planned our trip differently. I'll explain. This journey started in Budapest with one night ...
