Since we had never been to Europe, I whined to the booking agent that I wasn't going to go unless someone held my hand the entire way! Brian assured me that would be the case...and Viking did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, there were smiling faces to help us with the smallest detail. It was more than great service. Each and every employee we encountered seemed to truly love their job, ...
I loved everything about the cruise -- great food and perfect portions. staff who went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for the guests. they all seemed to recognize us or knew our names very quickly. Marek, the program director, was fabulous -- he was funny, caring, knowledgable and professional. Loved all his programs. the tour guides at each city were excellent English speakers ...
Outstanding cruise. My wife commented that everything on the ship was exactly what you saw in the brochures -- there were no surprises. I was impressed with Viking's ability to quickly adapt to changing situations: there wasn't enough water level for the ship to get to Passau so we pulled over to the river bank in the middle of nowhere, dropped the gangway and there were 6 Viking buses waiting for ...
When we asked our close friends, another couple, to join us on Viking's Romantic Danube River Cruise, we asked ourselves, "What have we done? What if they don't like it? Maybe we should have given this some more thought...." But as the day drew nearer, we were all equally excited, and when we arrived in Nuremberg and stepped on board the Viking Delling, we entered a world of fun and excitement ...
We chose Viking to be able to enjoy a relaxing vacation without having to worry about the details. We were certainly not disappointed! The Delling is a beautiful ship, well-appointed with virtually everything that we could have wanted. The crew was outstanding – friendly and knowledgeable and took every possible step to facilitate the enjoyment of our trip. The shore arrangements were excellent – ...
This was a first river cruise having previously sailed on several large ship cruise lines. It was a very different experience and one that I found quite pleasant. Here are some of the differences and you can determine if this venue meets your needs:
-only 190 passengers; older demographic but most were physically fit since walking tours are part of the daily regiment
-many repeat ...
My wife and I have now taken two Viking River Cruises and without a doube enjoyed both with equal pleasure. Last year we returned from our first cruise with Viking and withing three wekks booked this year's adventure. Last year we traveled the Seine from Paris to Normandy; a great adventure.
This year we traveled the Danube from Budapest to Nuremburg.
We had decided to travel to Budapest a ...
We didn't know what to expect- this was our first ever cruise. It was practically perfect! Only negative was a day or two of rain, but you can't blame that on Viking! They thoughtfully had large umbrellas available for us to borrow.
We had plenty of storage available in our cabin-- very well designed, so the size didn't feel "small". We booked when the cruise was almost sold out, so we had just a ...
This cruise was the best vacation we have taken. Viking service was first class from the pickup at he Budapest airport to the final breakfast. Crew members were attentive, polite and professional in every department. The Viking Delling was well appointed and immaculate. Food service, taste and variety were excellent as was the drink service. Recommend the Silver Spirit Package. Tours were ...
This was our first cruise. We didn't know what to expect. We'd seen all of the ads on TV, so our expectations were high.
I must say, absolutely everything was perfect. Every detail was carefully thought through, from the moment we embarked until the moment we disembarked. The boat was practically brand new. The staff was very attentive-- they truly wanted this to be your best cruising experience ...
