Budapest Viking Lif Cruise Reviews

Excellent crew they give 5 star service. The shore excursions are very informative and in depth for each port. This was my first Viking cruise. The food was outstanding. Our room was very nice and comfortable eventhough we chose the lowest cabin is eas spacious enough the shower was much bigger than on a Princess cruise I went on. The average age of the passengers were mostly older than me but it ...

We had heard from several friends about how good this cruse is. So, we went in with high expectations. We have to say that Viking exceeded even those expectations. They covered the entire trip details from start to finish. Our flight from Washington D.C. arrived in Frankfurt at 5:20 am local time. To our pleasant surprise, there were three Viking personnel waiting for us (about a dozen of us total ...

We chose Viking at the recommendation of many friends and family who have been using Viking for their cruising company . We booked almost 2 years prior to our journey so most of the ships room inventory was available. We did not receive guidance with respect to best choice of rooms to meet our needs. My husband gets sea sick so we decided that the center of the boat in the lower deck would be the ...

This was our first river cruise. Everything went well. We were happy with the shore excursions except for the one in Budapest wherein we wasted so much time on waiting for toilet break for some and have to wait in the toilet premises. Room was always clean. Enough time should be allotted to shopping rather than rushing everyone. Emil and Allesandro from the Dining were great. Gabriel was ...

We paid for this cruise in 2019 for April 2020. A couple of weeks before take-off, we cancelled and rescheduled for 2021. The cancellation was because of covid, of course. A month or so later, we cancelled the 2021 cruise and rescheduled for 2022. In the meantime, we were able to have family members join us for their first Viking River cruise! This was our second Viking River Cruise. Our ...

Wanted to see these East European countries, their castles, churches, people, geography, their stories and histories. wanted to have real face to face contact and interaction with local people. The results were wonderful. I got to see all these beautiful countries, their unique features, their languages, their own stories. Danube river was wonderful with beautiful sceneries, sunrise and ...

I chose this cruise because I like to go to destinations that not everyone goes to. This cruise was great. The ship was amazing and the staff were excellent. The food was terrific. The hotels that Viking put us in were top notch. I would highly recommend this cruise as well as the post extension to Brasov/Transylvania (if you are ending the trip in Romania). I did all the included excursions. I ...

The romantic Danube and Budapest was an immediate draw for us. It was a part of Europe with such history, culture and not that easy to visit in the past - prior to 2000. The excursions were wonderful, the crew helpful and very nice, the food excellent and the chef and maitre’d accommodated my dietary restrictions to the highest degree. There is so much to see and learn about in these Eastern ...

This was the first overseas vacation (and cruise) my wife and I have ever taken, so we really don't have anything to compare. But we truly can't imagine how it could have been any better. This trip was scheduled to celebrate our 30th anniversary in 2020, so was booked in 2019. Of course, the pandemic delayed those plans but we were eager to go as soon as river cruises and countries started ...

For our 5th cruise with Viking (after Portugal, France, China and Med) we decided for our anniversary to explore the Central Europe on Viking LIF. Our expectations were very high, but the recent 2 weeks experience was absolutely terrific, far above all our previous cruises with Viking. The on board meals were wonderful but I will suggest the possibility to order half portion I hate food ...
