"There were one or two other glitches like the sound system not working consistently and the lounge area being freezing cold at all times but the staff really worked hard to make the ship ready for us.We had previously gone on the Rhine Valley cruise with Viking, had a wonderful time and wanted one a bit longer so we chose the Grand European going from Budapest to Amsterdam...."Read More

Terrible cruise

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 ...

We've looked at various Viking cruises for the past few years on-line and catalog. Having never travelled to the continent, we chose the Grand European Tour to experience as many cultures, ports, and excursions as possible. We enjoyed a 3 day pre-cruise extension in Prague that was fabulous. Our hotel was located just one block off the pedestrian walkways to the Old Town Square. The energy of ...

We chose this specific cruise for it’s incredible itinerary and wonderful selection of optional excursions. This part of Europe is filled with beautiful vistas. The culture and history of this area fascinates us. Viking’s reputation for excellence was well met. Our dining experience was was simply wonderful! Our waiters were so very caring and personable. They quickly learned our names and our ...

We booked this in 2019 just before the pandemic as a retirement gift to ourselves. It was worth the wait. The focus on the river cruises is on the places you’re visiting, not what’s going on with the ship. The Viking Staff made the trip extraordinary. They were attentive, friendly, positive, and helpful. We booked one, two, and sometimes three shore excursions each day so we were always on the go. ...

We chose this cruise because we decided if we were flying to Europe, we may as well go for two weeks. The pre and post cruise add-ons were just a last minute decision when we were booking the cruise. We really didn’t know what to expect. We loved Prague and Amsterdam. We enjoyed most of the included tours and most of the extra ones as well. We aren’t interested in some of the things one finds on ...

Not at all what I expected. Short daily excursions you were rushed through then herded back into the boat. Not nearly enough time to explore on one’s own or enjoy a coffee or a beer at a local cafe. At one of the Palace tours the garden viewing portion was missed completely due to time constraints to get us back on board. To simply be bored on the ship once we arrived back there. For 3 days ...

We had previously gone on the Rhine Valley cruise with Viking, had a wonderful time and wanted one a bit longer so we chose the Grand European going from Budapest to Amsterdam. We had a somewhat bumpy start since the ship had to be changed at the last minute. As a result, there were a few things not working well though the staff tried very hard and were always professional. As we embarked, the ...

We were anxiously awaiting this cruise which we had postponed from 2020 to 2021 to 2022 due to Covid. We have watched the Viking videos of one of the most scenic itineraries; Budapest - Amsterdam. If anything, the videos undersold the beauty of the cities along the way and the stunning views along the river. The crew were incredible. Everyone seemed to make it their personal mission to ensure ...

Trip was absolutely amazing with pre-cruise excursion to Prague. We have taken aver 30 ocean cruises, but this was our first river cruise and Viking did not disappoint. Cruise was also referred to as the ABC (Another Big Castle/Church) Tour! Our cause of stress was COVID testing, so I will discuss this first. Viking required us to have COVID test prior to boarding flight overseas. However, ...

We loved every moment of our time with Viking. With our early arrival, we explored Budapest and found it a charming city with wonderful architecture. Our hotel was amazing. It was like a palace with its grand staircase and stained glass ceiling in the breakfast room. Absolutely beautiful. While on board, we enjoyed the ship and it's activities. Our activities director was amazing. She ...
