Viking Budapest Cruise Reviews

We chose a grand European tour so we could see many sites on one trip. We chose Viking because of their high ratings, and we were not disappointed. The ship was nicely laid out with opportunities for indoor or outdoor relaxing. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food was delicious, and we appreciated the serving sizes- so much more appropriate than American restaurants. We did ...

We had been on the Paris to Normandy cruise and loved it. We booked the Explorer suite and were excited about the trip. This changed when we had to change ships because of the river level which meant we had a 3 1/2 hour bus ride to reach the new ship the Viliy. This transition wasted one day. We were often moored in industrial areas which did not allow us to explore the cities. In Cologne ...

Cruise did not disappoint, and Viking was great to when issues arose. The Grand European Cruise was great with all the stops and planned events. Food fantastic and crew members were awesome! Definity a must for the bucket list The process of getting luggage to the ship was seamless and the transportation arranged was spot on.

The cruise was an awesome, once in a lifetime opportunity to see a great deal of Europe without the hassles of driving or taking a train. Viking does EVERYTHING to make the trip run smoothly. We had an exceptional weather which helped a lot for the tour of various cities. The daily tour excursions that were included were awesome. We paid for 2 that were beyond the free daily tours and they were ...

Our first Viking vacation and first river cruise. We did the 2 day add-on in Amsterdam and 2-day add-on in Budapest to help time zone adjust and get a chance to visit Budapest, a city we've never explored before. Viking made the arrangements and frankly, this was one of the highlights of our vacation. That is not to say that we didn't enjoy the river cruise, but the hotels were centrally ...

We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus. The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...

We particularly enjoy river cruising, especially on Viking! Our cruise was from Bucharest, Romania to Budapest, Hungary. We chose this cruise because we were curious about the countries in this part of the Danube River. As we expected, we had excellent guides and excursions. The countries we visited are still recovering from the Communist era and the guides were honest in their appraisal of the ...

We had the explorer suite which is phenomenal! It was like our own apartment to view the whole trip. We spent time on the balcony sipping wine and viewing the beautiful Danube from Budapest to Passau. Leaving Budapest at night, the lights were amazing as we traveled under each bridge. We also went through 9 or 10 locks. I was aware of and watched two that were huge and very cool to experience. ...

The Viking crew was fantastic. They took care of everything, always a friendly smile and cheerful hello. The food and entertainment were wonderful. We witnessed lots of team work and professionalism at every level from the ship’s manager, cruise director and captain all the way down the chain including maintenance and housekeeping. It was so nice to have the entire tripped planned and to be picked ...

Our daughter lives in Germany and we wanted to try a River cruise - this was our first time. The itinerary was ideal and hit a series of stops that were very enticing: BudaPest, Wien, Krems, Pasau and finally Regensburg where our daughter met us at the end of the cruise. We were very fortunate to have ideal weather for the cruise which made it all the better. Discovered areas that we'd not ...
