Budapest Viking Var Cruise Reviews

Truly this was a taste of Europe. It was great as it was an all inclusive experience, and I didn't have to worry about a thing once I stepped off the plane. It was great to have planned things to do all throughout the day to do (or not do) to your heart's content. Having an included excursion at each stop was great; we only paid for one extra excursion Anna Deutscher - she was phenomenal. I ...

I chose this Cruise based on the itineraries. Started in Budapest, Vienna, Krems, Passau and Regensburg. The tours were very cultural and educational. The Guides were outstanding and proud of their history and their towns. The EBike tours in Vienna and Bavaria were extremely nice. Being able to see the Lippizaner Stallions up close. The Viking Var staff were outstanding, they were very welcoming ...

This was our first river cruise and Viking did not disappoint! We were treated like royalty the minute we boarded. Our stateroom was bigger than I expected, the shower was a good size and Nick, our room steward could not do enough for us, even to looking for a lost earring. We dined in the dining room for each meal and were wonderfully served by Ryan who remembered our names instantly. The food ...

This was our second Viking cruise, we previously did the Rhine cruise. You can't go wrong with Viking. The level of service and quality of tours is really amazing. The itinerary for the Danube cruise is a great mix of large cities - Budapest and Vienna - and smaller towns - Passau and Regensburg. The beauty of a Viking cruise is that you know you'll see all the sights in each port and enjoy ...

We had a great time. On board staff was excellent. Social Director did an outstanding job; full of energy. They did everything thing they could to make our trip excellent. It was the 1st cruise of the season for this crew and boat. Had a problem with one of the engines. Had to leave Budapest early and got to Vienna almost a day late. Viking let us re-arrange or cancel excursions with full refund. ...

We have been on 20 or more Ocean cruises and wanted to try a river cruise. We loved the itinerary, starting in Budapest with an overnight allows you to take in that beautiful city in All it’s nighttime glory. Next stop Vienna for another overnight we took the optional bus tour to Bratislava and it was well worth it on the second day there. Then it was on to Krems for a visit to Visit the ...

We have done other cruises before, but by far this was this best cruise we have taken! The crew was amazing, from the Captain of the cruise, to the director of the cruise who managed to learn every passenger's name and utilized it each time we met, to the servers who gave us the best dining experience each time, to the crewmen who took care of the ship, were all excellent! All the crew ...

Service was wonderful, caring and staff would provide over and above responses. The excursions were all very informative, and had many delightful moments. There was enough time to rest and see things on our own in most cases. Viking service was coordinated and when a pilots strike delayed our arrival, staff from the Viking Embla took care of us as if we were passengers on their ship. "We ...

We booked this cruise in the midst of the Pandemic and were glad when we were able to travel! While our embarkation date was the day Lufthansa Airlines suffered a major strike and dozens of fellow passengers arrived 1-2-3 days late and many others lost luggage (on multiple airlines), from the time we reached the ship, almost all was lovely. We took the northbound route with an extension in ...

We had heard about the Viking cruises from friends and were excited to try it out. We were not disappointed. I can't say enough about our cruise. The ship was was clean and modern. The crew was amazing! By the second day they knew our names and what we drank. The chef provided a yummy menu with plenty of options. The food was excellent! The tour guides for on-shore excursions were ...
