Amazing Itinerary

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Vali

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 ...

Amazing views along the Danube, too much downtime and horrible dining arrangements

This was our first-ever river cruise experience. We did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos about the experience so we felt pretty well prepared for the trip. What we found is most people's pros/cons experiences were pretty consistent with ours. Knowing what we know now we also would have planned our trip differently. I'll explain. This journey started in Budapest with one night ...

The Romantic Danube was the name of the cruise, that's the 1st reason we decided to take this cruise. Then the ports of call were the second reason. We were a little disappointed that a bus ride for all excursions was necessary to see the ports. We had envision getting off the ship and walk into town or city.. The worst was the Strassburg tour. A 9.5 hour excursion turned into 15 hours!! On ...

The staff was great. The food was great. The tours were great. The room was good except for the temperature being either freezing or burning alive hot and water pooling on the balcony (no drain hole on edge). Unfortunately 5 out of 6 in our group contracted Covid19. Looking back there was lots of people coughing and talk about a lot of people having chest congestion. Needless to say this put a ...

We heard great things about Viking and were excited to take the 7 Night Romantic Danube cruise. The cruise and excursions were great until the day before we were to disembark and our last night on the river boat. The boat was unable to dock in Regensburg due to high waters. On our last day of excursions, we were bused into Regensburg for the walking tour and the Weltenburg Abbey & the Danube ...

1) Biggest concern--illness on board that Viking covered up My husband and I just returned from cruising the Danube on the Viking Ingvi. While we went on this cruise with great anticipation, the cruise quickly turned disastrous. Many people became sick by halfway through, coughing and dropping out of excursions because of sickness. My husband and I both became sick on Day 6 of the 8 days, as ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I went along with my wife and some friends for this cruise to see parts of central Europe along the Danube and enjoy the winter Christmas markets. For ME, it didn't really work. Others really enjoyed it. There was a large social group travelling together and they turned the trip into too much of a party boat. It was difficult to have low key interactions with other travelers. The tours ...

I chose this cruise because of my desire to visit the Christmas Markets along the Danube. My friend and I booked about two years out, in the middle of COVID to have something to look forward to as we got through those long months. I had heard wonderful things about Viking but our experience was not as wonderful as I had hoped, beginning with the airfare that we included in our reservation. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Found being on board very boring without much to do outside of the excursions. We do not care to drink and socialize for an hour before dinner, during dinner and then after dinner. The popular Aquavit dining area would not be available as people felt it was okay to save seats ahead of time with their personal items. Very limited TV selections and often no internet connection available. ...

My group with 14 people took our first time river cruise with a friend recommended Viking Company. Here are my opinions below: 1) The water level is too low to sail on the river between Amsterdam, Netherlands and Cologne Germany. So The company used the bus for this section. We have to carry the luggage every day. And the food of lunch and dinner are not satisfied. It's ...
