Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Baldur

I would do it all again.

Needed a winter vacation and have always wanted to try a Viking river cruise. We took a Christmas market cruise on the Danube from Budapest to Passau. Viking handled everything including flights and transfers and it was seamless for me. Next time I might book my own flights to cut down on transfers, not have to leave the ship at 4 am, and upgrade with miles, but for my first time, it was very nice ...

The three of us - my husband, I and our son - took a Danube River cruise on Viking Baldur from Budapest to Passau the week before Christmas. It was cold and raining or pouring most of the days. However, despite the miserable weather, our overall experience with Viking was fairly good and I would give it 4 stars if not an extremely unpleasant event that took place the last night and a return ...

1) almost no restaurants in the United States serve robusta coffee--the savings isn't that great, and the coffee is just pathetic.... If for no other reason, that is sufficient for my not cruising again on Viking. Moreover I couldn't even drown it out with cream because the cruise only had skim milk (ultimately, the maître d' did purchase some half-and-half--kudos). 2) I have wine with dinner ...

We chose the cruise as it was to celebrate our 25th wedding Anniversary and we wanted to do something special. It started on my birthday and ended on our 26th Anniversary. We liked the idea of a small ship, less people and where we could see the shore at all times. Not only was that provided to us but we got treated like royalty. From the Program Director George to our cleaning lady Catalina ...

Review What a marvelous river cruise! Let me just begin and end with that statement! I traveled with my sister and we experienced the Danube Christmas markets cruise in December of this year. The ship certainly delivered in all areas. Cabin – we had a French balcony cabin for this winter cruise. The room was on the second (main) floor and the picture window with a sliding glass door and ...

Having lived in Germany for three years several years ago, we loved the Christmas season and markets. Our first Viking cruise was from Nuremberg to Budapest in 2019 - pre-COVID. We were so impressed that we decided to take another trip. The Christmas market trip was a "whim" trip so that we could visit and re-visit the Christmas markets. This time, we traveled from Budapest to Regensburg and ...

It was nice, but the ocean cruises are much more luxurious

I wanted to see Vienna & Budapest, so I got that accomplished. Frankly, though, I think that I would've preferred to simply rent a car and drive to these places for a whole lot less money. The ship was basically a floating hotel - there isn't much in the way of amenities on the ship other than a restaurant & lounge (which wasn't really much different than the restaurant). The piano player got ...

First time in a river cruise and the experience was awesome inside and outside of the ship. Places and tours were amazing and full of history … the tour guides were completely knowledgeable about everything and made the experience very interesting. Plenty of food and beverages in the ship, never got thirsty or hungry. All the food from the 4 countries were delicious (Hungary, Austria, ...

Friends had recommended this particular cruise. It was our first Viking and river cruise experience. The cabin (Explorer Suite) was wonderful. As was the food. But it was just too cold to make use of the sun deck. Budapest and Vienna were great. Although we are not into classical music, we highly recommend the Vienna concert. It was an excursion highlight. As, of course, all of the Christmas ...
