We had a cruise cancelled at the beginning of the pandemic so we used the credit to take this longer cruise. Other than the awful Viking Air service, the cruise itself, especially the crew, was outstanding. The most enjoyable parts were extra shore excursions that were in very small groups, especially the "vigorous" hikes. However, I wouldn't call any of the hikes vigorous (and I'm 68 though I do ...
My husband and I took the Viking Ocean Cruise to Alaska and loved everything about Viking. We heard many people on the cruise say that they met their 'cruising' friends on the River Cruises, and how small and friendly the river cruises were. We can honestly say that after this cruise, we agree with ALL of the positive statements we heard about the Viking River Cruises. The cabins were perfect, ...
This was the 3rd time I tried to river cruise with viking . The first time was cancelled because of Covid. The second I cancelled because I wanted to see the tulips in Amsterdam. This trip was at the right time for me. I cannot walk very far and as a result I need to use an electric scooter, the staff assisted me every time I left the ship. I was able to store my scooter in my stateroom. The ...
We chose this departure to align with flower bloom at Keukenhof Garden in Amsterdam. Weather, water levels and crowds were all good. Food on the Magni was great. They included cuisine from each country we visited and the menu options were very good. Service on board was fantastic too. Only down side was the Covid threat that bounced a few people off of the cruise. I like that Viking is adults ...
A wonderful trip. Started with three days in Prague, and walked one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The hotel they provided was very nice, and central to our travels. From there, we bussed down to Budapest. Again, a very comfortable trip and immediately loaded onto the river boat. The whole boat was comfortable, and our suite was more very nice and had a lot of storage area, a nice ...
Countries visited, the cruise was excellent. Service was outstanding from all departments, crew members were polite and ready to assist at all times. The cities visited were interesting with the excellent guides for each tour. It was nice sitting near the bow experiencing the scenery during the voyage. The small number of passengers was delightful which made it easy to find seating every day.

I choose this cruise for all the places it went, loved the day on the rhine with all the castles. Many excursions to choose from . Loved the day in Salzburg, the Heugrian dinner, Gottweig Abbey. Cologne Cathedral.
The staff was very efficient, friendly and helpful. The meals were terrific . We went during covid so every one was tested every day. this gave every one a good felling of extra ...
As usual, Viking service was up to standard, the same as before the pandemic. VERIFLY app for the pre-voyage verification of vaccination was free and simple to use. The entire 110passengers and 50 crew were vaccinated and tested daily (100% NEGATIVE the entire cruise). Masks were appropriately worn and provided (KN95 for most countries). Cleaning packets given as we left or boarded the ship. Buses ...
A river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam was on our bucket list for many years. We started with a pre-cruise extension to Prague, which was a great walking city. The river cruise ship was comfortable and filled with friendly travelers. The cabin was small but well-designed and there was no need to stay in the cabin except when sleeping. Being able to sit outside and watch as small towns passed by ...
This was my first Viking River Cruise. Impressive is an understatement. From the moment my spouse and I landed, Viking arranged absolutely everything. A true vacation began with professional onboard Viking staff and epic destinations.
The only real setback is the lack of a fitness center or group exercise activities. There is a walking track on the top deck, but if you are a runner like ...
