The cruise was a "Girls Only" trip for several who had previously travelled with Viking and we KNEW how fabulous it would be! The cabins were extremely well laid out with more than enough room for clothing storage, relaxing after a full day of adventures or just to leisurely sit on the balcony sipping a warm brandy as we cruised down the beautiful Danube. The food selection had something for ...
I went with a group of friends and had the time of my life. The professionalism of the crew was outstanding. George, our cruise director, was simply the best. The educational aspects of the group tours was impressive, the food delicious and the onboard entertainment and crew were number 1. I loved having the ship to come back to every day while visiting multiple countries. The onboard cabin ...
This was our sixth Viking River Cruise and we have enjoyed them all, The staff are always excellent, The organisation is superb and we meet new friends,
The food is excellent and the restaurant service could not be faulted. particular mention of Ryan and Ladice.
The entertainment manager Ryan worked tirelessly and had to over come low water problems.
One of the great pleasures it to meet ...
Only been on one cruise before and that was on an enormous Royal Caribbean ship in the Caribbean which we didn’t enjoy as too many people, too impersonal, and all dockings were at awful ugly tourist trap towns like Ocho Rios in Jamaica where we couldn’t get off the ship because of fights in the streets and the dirty Cozumel in Mexico.
This cruise on the Viking Var was exceptional. There were ...
We had done the Rhine and couldn't wait to go again. I can't believe this is even the same cruise line. The crew was very standoff-ish. But, we made nice friends and the first few days were decent. Then, at Gottwieg Abby, we were informed that due to a broken lock, we would have to do a boat swap with Tor that night. We'd pack, they would transfer our luggage to another boat while we were ...

We had been planning for our Romantic Danube cruise on the Viking Var for over a year. Eight of us were traveling together to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We have never spent this much money on a vacation ($12,000) before and we were so excited to cruise from Budapest to Nuremburg. The first four days of our trip was a dream. The crew on the Var was fabulous and we could not have been ...

The cruise was great, the food was really good, the tour guides were pleasant and knowledgeable. It was easily the best vacation my wife and I were ever on. We enjoyed the smaller setting with only 178 guests on our cruise. The crew was fantastic. We enjoyed getting to know other passengers. The food was much better that the other cruises we have been on. It was a nice experience to go to ...
Just what we were looking for. We needed to get out of town during that time and this provided a no fuss way to do it. During the trip we had no worries or concerns about transfers, baggage, meals or entertainment. The necessities were taken care of seamlessly and the added value was extraordinary.
The ship was spacious and clean, I never felt crowded or 'herded' as I have on other trips. I ...
Always wanted to see Christmas markets in Germany/Austria. Saw an email three months prior to the trip with pricing offer that seemed too good to pass up. Have done several ocean cruises in Europe - this was our first river cruise. We really enjoyed the slower pace, the ease of walking right to the center of town from our ship (unlike ocean ships where you sometimes must get transportation from ...
We just returned from a “Romantic Danube” river cruise, which not only did not meet our expectations, but left us feeling miss-led. I say that because we were communicating with friends taking similar Viking itineraries weeks before our travel who made us aware of the nightmares they were experiencing.
Nightmares as defined by numerous bus trips and lack of cruising time and being on board of ...
