"One night this particular couple got to one of the tables early and the 2 couples who arrived to set their wine bottle on the table were quite angry and yelled at them that that was THEIR table!!!So the last night, I gave up being able to listen to our tour director just so I could sit in one of the small tables against the wall in the Terrace to save us the right to sit there for our final night...."Read More

1-10 of 54 Viking Modi Cruise Reviews for River to Europe - River from Budapest
It was an opportunity to visit parts of the world In style, ie., quality service, excellent & tasteful cuisine, comfortable environments, etc. The variety of beautifully organized excursions at each ports provided memorable opportunities to see the sights, eat the food & meet the people.
It was to-date THE Most relaxing cruise vacation I /we have ever taken. The size of the ship & number of ...
There were two reasons we chose the Grand European Tour for our celebration - Budapest and Koblenz! My second great-grandfather Harmon Weber was born in Koblenz, moved to the US as a child and lived into his 90's and through two marriages. I loved exploring this interesting city even if I didn't know exactly where to look
As for Budapest, my Latin teacher from high school grew up in Budapest. ...
Everything about this cruise was terrific! All the side trips as well as the included trips were excellent.
The only side trip to Amsterdam was disappointing as we were not told ahead of time that our guide was leaving us on our own for 4 hours. The description of the trip did not state this. We were also not able to visit the Peace Palace in The Hague which would have been nice to know ...
Some of my siblings and I were on this trip together. We all were able to plan our vacations to our skills and sites and yet get together every night for a "family" dinner. We celebrated 1 birthday and 2 wedding anniversaries on the trip. The staff was exceptional, they anticipate your every need. They take such good care of you, we felt like kings and queens. And will actually miss some of them. ...
This was our first river cruise (two single ladies) and we didn't know what to expect. The crew on the Modi were exceptional. The food was very good. Our only disappointment were the included excursions as they were all walking tours and took up a great deal of time especially when in the ports where we didn't have a great deal of time to spend. I would suggest they upgrade their included ...
We have wanted to do a river cruise for a long time. Viking was always on the top of the list of recommendations among friends and acquaintances. We were scheduled two years ago, but Covid changed those plans twice. For this cruise in September we were concerned about air travel with the stories out there most of the summer. We were also concerned about river levels. I joined a Facebook group ...
I chose this cruise because I had read a book through the Scholastic Book Club when I was in middle school about a teenage girl's experience in WWII Budapest surviving the Nazi occupation, then liberation by the Soviets, then living under Russian rule, her escape to France. I wanted to see Budapest, and the cities along the river, some of which were near where my ancestors had immigrated from 2 ...
My husband retired during the worst part of the pandemic. We wanted to celebrate his retirement with a big trip and we researched different cruises. We loved what Viking offered and decided to book with them. We chose the 14 nIght Grand European Tour and we loved every minute of it. We began with extra days in Amsterdam and that was wonderful. We chose a time when the water level was low, but ...
This was originally booked in 2020 from Amsterdam to Budapest to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary but due to Covid-19 it was cancelled and rebooked to202. It was cancelled again and booked in 2022. And finally we got to sail in 2022 for our 52 anniversary. It was everything we expected and more. Going from Budapest to Amsterdam turned out to be great even though we were wanting to extend ...
Friends had told us about the Viking River Cruise, so we had high expectations. Those expectations were met for the most part. The food and service were very good. Most of the tour guides were top notch and all of them made the tour interesting. Onboard entertainment was good when they had outside musicians come onboard to entertain.
The highlight of the trip for me was two of the extra ...
