Budapest Viking Ingvi Cruise Reviews

Our family decided (again) to cruise with Viking for our Christmas holiday. My husband and 2 daughters ages 22 and 21 have been travelling for Christmas and by far our Viking trips have been our favorite holiday vacations. Honestly, out Viking customer service rep recommended Christmas on the Danube, and what a great recommendation it was! The Christmas markets made this cruise exceptional for ...

Background: I think most “reviews” do not provide much actionable information. They just relate whether the people liked it, or not. I, on the other hand, am always looking for detailed info that is not available from a top-level tour/cruise review site. I am looking for “behind the scenes info” and to benefit from the experience of somebody else like me who has done this already and found the ...

We were interested in European Christmas markets and this seemed the easiest way to see a bunch. What a great decision. The Viking Ingvi crew was wonderful. The steward took excellent care of the our cabin. Dining staff made mouthwatering meals and the selection of local foods for dinner was exciting. Our rule when traveling is to not eat what we could have at home and the menu did not disappoint, ...

We had heard about river cruises and wanted to try one. Viking had wonderful ratings and a great deal! So we signed up. I have to say that it was better than I had expected! The included excursions were very informative and well done. I wish we had more time on them to get off the bus, but they hit the highlights and several times we were able to go back on our own for a more in depth experience. ...

My daughter and I took this cruise to celebrate big birthdays for both of us, and we are really glad we did! The staff on the Ingvi was fabulous and left us wanting for nothing. The room was impeccably cared for, the amenities were first class and the staff was very professional and friendly - especially Marcius, our waiter. He anticipated our needs, made great suggestions when we were unsure what ...

We (me, husband and our 2 best friends and travel buddies) traveled from Budapest to Passau upon the Viking Ingvi in June of 2022. To be honest I could go to the grocery store with these three and have a blast, but this trip was truly amazing. With just a few hiccoughs, it is one of my top five vacations thus far. We enjoyed it so much that we literally booked the Rhine Getaway for June 2023 the ...

We have travelled with Viking many times (12 I think )in the pre Covid times. For this trip we met up with friends that we had met on a river cruise in China five years previously. Making friends is one of the joys of river cruising . We had the extension in Budapest staying in a first class hotel in Buda. Viking always have used superb hotels on all our trips. This trip met all our expectations. ...

This was my wife’s and my first Viking Cruise. And I will have to say it was one of the best vacations we have ever took. The ship, food and service were remarkable. The ability to explore 4 European countries was well planned and executed. The onboard and off board activities were great as well. Both the free and paid for activities allowed us to explore portions of each country and experience ...

This was our second Viking River cruise. The first was fantastic, so we went on another. We decided to go somewhere a little different. We have friends born in Hungary, so that a great excuse to see a little of their country as well as some others. The weather was cool and rainy at times, but the cruise director kept out spirits up. Everything went well. We had to be Covid tested everyday but ...

Viking is definitely the best. We did the Danube… Budapest to Passau. We originally flew to Prague and spent several days there and then took the train to Budapest to pick up the ship. To begin with the service was exceptional. Everyone, from guest services to the folks who cleaned our room, went above and beyond our expectations. We especially liked our waiters. They knew us by name and were at ...
