What a marvelous river cruise! Let me just begin and end with that statement! I traveled with my sister and we experienced the Danube Christmas markets cruise in December of this year. The ship certainly delivered in all areas.
Cabin – we had a French balcony cabin for this winter cruise. The room was on the second (main) floor and the picture window with a sliding glass door and ...
Having lived in Germany for three years several years ago, we loved the Christmas season and markets. Our first Viking cruise was from Nuremberg to Budapest in 2019 - pre-COVID. We were so impressed that we decided to take another trip. The Christmas market trip was a "whim" trip so that we could visit and re-visit the Christmas markets. This time, we traveled from Budapest to Regensburg and ...

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 ...
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 ...
Great location, perfect venue for my interests and pace, and fair pricing for the total experience. Take your spouse. Take your friends. Take advantage of the excursions. Enjoy the food. Experience the culture. Enjoy the comfort of the ship while docked or on the way to the next stop. Talk with the crew. They are professional and unique and a wealth of information about their respective heritages. ...
I had heard of Viking River Cruises on television. They looked very relaxing and scenic. My wife and I said we should try one so we decided to commit to one. We picked The Romantic Danube and were not disappointed. The ship was state of the art and everything on board was first class. The crew of the Egil were so nice and accommodating. Our luggage was lost by the airline and that was ...
It was our first cruise and we were celebrating our 35th anniversary, I wanted my wife to see some of the wonderful cities I’d visited on work trips. The ship was very nice, clean and European style. The room, those small, was well appointed and had a small veranda, which we enjoyed sitting on whenever possible.
The water level was low so they had to make some minor adjustments. We were ...
