Budapest Viking Baldur Cruise Reviews

Needed a winter vacation and have always wanted to try a Viking river cruise. We took a Christmas market cruise on the Danube from Budapest to Passau. Viking handled everything including flights and transfers and it was seamless for me. Next time I might book my own flights to cut down on transfers, not have to leave the ship at 4 am, and upgrade with miles, but for my first time, it was very nice ...

We chose this cruise because of a sale. We had included airfare and a great price so we took the plunge! It was everything you can imagine! We were pampered, fed amazing food, taken on beautiful excursions, had incredible sights from the boat, and made friendships that we treasure! I have Celiac disease (a food allergy). Every morning, the maitre de met me and gave me a menu with choices for ...

we loved the whole experience with the cruise. the service and amenities were delightful. staff were outstanding and kind. the program director seemed to be everywhere at once — on tours, giving lectures, he was amazing! the food on board was excellent and one had many choices at each meal. we recommend the silver beverage pkg for the most wonderful wine options. interestingly enough, the ...

The Danube River and up through the Rhine River have always been appealing. The scenery was just like the picture books and advertisements. The Activities Director would fill us in on what to expect the next day. He covered everything from what to wear, what not to wear, where to get money exchanged and where to get a cold beer. The chef would come in after the update and let us know the ...

My wife and I have cruised with Viking five times, and, although we have enjoyed them all, this was our favorite trip. As always, the hospitality, food, and service were outstanding, and our stateroom was always kept clean and comfortable. The tours were also excellent, and all of the guides did a great job. We greatly enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the Danube, Main, and Rhine rivers, and ...

Had been on the same cruise some years ago and wanted to do it again to see more sites. Overall the guides and ship crew were exceptional. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone interest in traveling abroad. The Guides were varied and knew the local history very well. They also had a good sense of humor and made it even more interesting to the tourist. The person in charge (Marko) was very ...

The Grand European river cruise included so many of the places we wanted to visit in Hungary, Austria, Germany and Netherlands, including Budapest, Passau, Vienna, Nuremberg, Cologne, the windmills of Kinderdijk, Amsterdam, and many other interesting and unique stops in Germany. In addition we took optional excursions to Salzburg and Munich. Both were very worthwhile and well done. The morning of ...

It was a deal that we could simply not refuse. Traveling on a Viking Cruise is just a pleasure for the common individual as well as anyone else. The staff and officers make your journey a comfortable and convenient experience. The food was excellent, the excursions were very educational and informative, and the weather was very good for those traveling. Our vacation almost did not take ...

Great cities, fantastic food, colorful and very informed tour guides, and extremely friendly fellow travelers. Only disappointment would be selection of items on german themed dinner night. Optional tour of Schönbrunn Palace had to little free time to explore palace grounds and gardens. This was our first cruise with Viking and we are already recommending it to our traveling friends. We ...

I have visited 41 countries over my last 90 years and this cruise was the best vacation I have ever had. The entire operation was very professional, and it was obvious that everyone involved was well trained and motivated. It was my first river cruise, and it is a wonderful concept, staying in one room while visiting several countries and cultures. The dining room was especially well done, the ...
