Budapest Viking Skirnir Cruise Reviews

This is our third Viking River cruise. The last two were 8 day cruises and we wanted to try something a bit longer. As usual we were met at the Budapest airport by Viking staff and they expeditiously got us and our luggage to the Skirnir. WE were shown to our suite by Ole Christensen the Hotel Manager and given a tour of the suites features and operations. This was the start of a cruise where ...

Our ship was changed from the Modi to Skirnir . No matter. They are all almost identical. We toured fromBudapest to Amsterdam and extended our cruise by adding 2 days in Amsterdam. If you don’t, you arrive in Amsterdam and depart for the airport immediately. They crew was wonderful. The ship was great. Comfortable rooms, great food, and entertainment in lounge in the evening. We learned of the ...

Wow, where to begin. We went on the Viking ship Skirnir. November 28- December 6, 2022. From when we first booked this cruise and until our departure, flights were changed several times (and we had to scurry to arrange upgraded seats each time on our own because “Viking doesn’t handle it”). Our ship was also changed at the last minute. When we got to the airport, we were told our flights were ...

We had heard so many rave reviews about Viking and this cruise that we had to go. We were totally blown away by the service, the staff, the accommodations, the food and the care and attention to detail every member of the staff and crew showed us. Our meals, crafted by Chef Russell, were amazing. And Chef Russell was very entertaining when describing each night's regional meal. Shout out to ...

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 ...

We took the Viking European River Cruise of two weeks during the second week of May. It was excellent in all respects, including the weather. Having taken a Viking Pacific Ocean Cruise of 31 days in January, I was impressed then with the daily Covid-19 testing, the accommodations, activities, and the training of the crew. The same high level of experiences was evident in our river cruise of two ...

This was a gift cruise from my parents. What an incredible experience. From the initial booking of the cruise to the final leg of our flight, all we can say is that it was so organized and easy. The online site for information and booking our excursions and keeping abreast of our travel information. It all worked so well. The flights were fantastic and once we arrived on the ship, ...

We had the “River Cruise” on our list of “must dos”. The itinerary was 15 days which seemed (and was) just the right amount of time to relax and experience several very different cities. We loved the cruising experience snd cannot say enough about the Crew. From the extraordinary tour director to every last wait person or cabin steward. All were kind, caring and professional. The Value of the ...

My husband and I had never been on a cruise before, but going on a river cruise down the Danube and Rhine has always been a dream of mine. We took the 14 night Grand European Tour and it was an exceptional experience, the Viking Staff were so personable and friendly, attentive and helpful, most of them knew us by name. The ships are beautiful and modern, the food is out of this world and the ...

I travelled with two friends after my recent retirement. After making all arrangements I broke my ankle in April. So I went in cruise in a boot. Not optimal but I made it work. I only had to cancel one excursion. I can’t say enough about the entire staff. They were excellent, pleasant, informative, helpful, always cheerful and made sure if our comfort. Rooms were kept up. Food was excellent and ...
