We chose Viking River Cruises because we had heard so many excellent things about them from previous customers. The date and cost of the cruise also fit into our plans. We have been on the larger cruise lines and liked them, but Viking is a totally different, positive experience and totally exceeded all expectations we had. The rooms were very nice, the heated floor in the bathroom was totally ...
Travel to Europe, especially Germany was high on our "Bucket List". We researched several other "River Cruise" companies but chose Viking because of their itinerary, excursions and reputation. We were not disappointed because the beauty of each country and travelling along the Danube, Main and Rhine were fabulous. The sights along the Rhine with all the castles and vineyards were breath-taking. ...
We were anxious to see the beautiful landscapes along the Danube,the Rhine & Main River, and to visit all the cities on the tour, from Budapest to Amsterdam. A cruise with Viking was a relaxing and secure way to see Europe, as we learned on our first cruise last Fall, on the Viking ship Rolf, from Paris to Normandy. Our ship Mimir was as beautiful as we expected, and our only regret was that we ...
I was asked to be a traveling companion by a good friend. I agreed immediately, since a river cruise was already on my bucket list. It turned out to be an absolutely great trip. It was my first river cruise, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. The inclusion of a shore excursion at each stop as part of the package is a great idea. The optional excursions I selected were all great. I ...
We wanted to see the interior or Europe and thought it would be great to do it via rivers. The ability to travel on water from Budapest to Amsterdam captured our imagination. Everything went exceptionally well. The ship was clean, fresh and modern. The crew were fun and always attentive. Half way into the cruise, we felt like we knew the staff. The program director was great fun and very ...
Wanted to travel in Europe, and this seemed like a great alternative to a regular tour, where you are living out of suitcases and spending your waking hours traveling to destinations. Loved the idea of having a home base. The ship was beautiful and well-appointed. The cabin was more comfortable than I thought it would be. The staff was exceptional. Our Program Director was incredible! She ...
We choose this one as our first River Cruise as we had heard it was a good introduction into the world of River Cruising. It also offered a variety of destinations. We experienced some very unusual things on this cruise which was not the norm and saw different ports than was on our itinerary. The ship had a broken part and therefore, we had to go slower on the river and often did not make the ...
This was our first ever cruise, river or ocean and now we are spoiled for only the best. They seem to plan for everything that could possibly happen and make any changes seemless. The staff was unbelievable. We were pampered all the way. Food was amazing. We love to dance and the nightly lounge entertainment was perfect. We danced every night to great classics. We upgraded to the Veranda ...
We love cruising so we can see many places, but stay in just one "hotel." We found ocean cruises to be rather hectic with crowded shows and activities on board to keep you busy when you just want to relax, and too much time where the view is just the ocean. This river cruise had exactly what WE were looking for. Comfortable, relaxing, always a lovely view, staff were friendly and helpful, the ...
My first river cruise with Viking was the France's Finest Cruise. It was absolutely perfect and extraordinary in every way. Wasn't sure Viking could match the perfection when I signed up for the Grand European but I now know to never give it a second thought about Viking's capability to provide the perfect blend of extravagance, excellent culinary experiences, and entertainment on board, while ...
