Amazing Viking River Cruise

We chose Viking because it has great reviews and the smaller size ship, lack of children, and smaller excursion groups appealed to us. The excursions that Viking offered were very intimate, things that would not have been possible on a larger ship or in larger tour groups. Like a lot of other holiday travelers, we experienced issues with our luggage...we did not get it. It was no fault of ...

Viking was well reviewed, their web platform very informative amd helpful and costs offered value. As to the actual services, coming delivered and provided wonderful travel experiences. Excursions we're well organized, safe, informative and appropriately social. Found them an excellent springboard orientation at every port. All services were well integrated and complementary; air, ...

Having never been to Europe before, I wanted to experience it in a more intimate setting. The ship was just the right size with just the right amount of people aboard and staff on hand. The shore excursions were small and intimate and made seeing the sights even better. The attention to detail on the ship far exceeded anything that I expected. I am planning another Viking cruise in August. We ...

Cruise was great, but the food was even better.

All stops and countries (except Germany) were new to us. We enjoyed everything except the Heurigan Evening. That was mediocre at best, and we felt we could have had the same experience on the ship. the venue had no locals except the server and the two musicians, and it wasn't the season for the new wine celebration. Since Vienna is such a music center we were very disappointed that we missed ...

Always wanted to try Viking. We were not disappointed as the whole trip was wonderful. No major issues, awesome food, comfortable accommodations, very interesting excursions. The only disappointment was our flight-seeing excursion over Passau, Germany was cancelled last minute. Overall, this was one of our best vacations ever! Our favorites were Budapest, Cesky Krumlov and Vienna. The ...

We chose this cruise because we've long wanted to visit Budapest and Prague, and extensions to both cities were available. Of course, we've also long wanted to cruise the Danube, especially to see Austria. Also, we'd heard so many good things about Viking cruises and we wanted to see for ourselves. We were not disappointed! Everything from start to finish was incredibly well-organized. Both of the ...

Whatever you do, do not catch covid on a Viking cruise

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We are presently isolating in a hotel in Germany after having caught covid whilst cruising on the Danube despite being fully immunised, and are now feeling completely abandoned by Viking. Prior to the cruise we had pondered long and hard over whether to postpone it for another year, due to the extremely infectious nature of the latest covid variant sweeping across Europe. To help us understand ...

I had already. been in the Rhine and wanted to explore others places. It was a wonderful trip and would love to do another one next year! The food and service was fantastic. I loved the little games they played in the lounge in the evenings. Angel the piano player was fantastic and would play request. He was much better than the one on the Rhine cruise. The staff go out of their way to make ...

Wonderful service, great weather and a lovely Danube cruise

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

A Danube cruise was chosen as my wife had not been to any of the destinations and so in a week we experienced 3 different capital cities as well as some charming countryside. We had previously cruised at sea through Celebrity and Princess so the river experience was familiar in many respects but arguably better due to guaranteed no movement and the ability to moor right in the heart of the ...

We booked this as a surprise birthday present for my husband, who had no idea we were even going away... The whole trip was a wonderful, unforgettably happy experience. We can't speak too highly of the 'Rinda' and the whole crew: George perhaps has to be singled out for his unflappable ability to move 100+ people to coaches and alternative tours, without losing anyone, and without ever losing his ...
