Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Var

My wife and I wanted to experience our first river cruise together, so we selected Viking, strongly suggested by our travel agent. The Romantic Danube cruise took us from Hungary to Germany offering many historic venues.
The pros: Superb on board service. Excellent food preparation and selection.
The cons: #1 - Apparently because of limited docking space, Viking needs to dock ...

We chose Viking for this river cruise based on our excellent experience from our "Mediterranean & Italian Sojourn" ocean cruise last year.
We found the Viking Var and the staff excellent in almost every aspect. Service was outstanding in the restaurant, cabin area, and found the pilots and ship's crew very friendly and willing to engage in great conversations.
The "upside" of the cruise was ...

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 ...

Cruise Director reviewed the disembarking process for Friday. He explained that everyone would get a notice of what time to leave the ship on Friday morning and would be given a box breakfast for the road and the assistance of a Viking agent through check-in at the airport.
At the bus parking area of terminal 2 the driver unloaded all 5 pieces of our luggage in the parking lot and got back ...

I loved the itinerary. I enjoyed the excursions and our post excursion stay at the Four Seasons in Budapest could not have been better. I LOVED the crew. I hated the noise in the Explorer Suite, #341, on the Var! It sounded like a jet was landing on top of us and the vibration was so severe it had glasses clinking on the furniture. The Viking staff was incredibly helpful and responsive and since ...

We sailed from Budapest to Passau, Germany. We have done many ocean cruises, but this was only our second river cruise, and our first with Viking.
We chose the smallest stateroom, assuming we wouldn't be there very much. It turned out that, for some reason, the room was very, very noisy. We lost one night of sleep, the first night, due to the noise. When we complained (at about midnight, when ...

This would have been a five-star rating had we not had to switch ships. The possibility of such a switch needs to be brought to the forefront of discussions when booking with Viking. It appears to be quite common certain times of year, which should be cleary addressed. My wife has M.S. and this switch was difficult for hew, flying in the face of our choosing this mode of transportation (so we ...

We chose Viking's Budapest to Nuremburg River Cruise. We were on the same cruise as cpeverett in a review dated Sept. 2015. I echo the same comments without exception. Viking went over the top in accomodating our mid-cruise transfer from the Tor to the Var.
The food was varied and of excellent quality. There was copious amounts too. The only additonal comment that I feel compelled to make ...

We spent the first half of our Danube cruise on the Tor then transferred to the Var as a result of the ship change due to low water levels. If we had been on the Tor all week this would have been a five star rating. The difference between the staff on the two ships was like night and day. The staff on the Tor was outstanding. They smiled, called us by our first names and couldn't do enough to ...

My husband and I joined some friends and we planned this River Cruise through Viking. A week before setting sail, we called several times to check on the possibility of having to change ships due to the Danube being too low to navigate. (other friends had taken the trip 3 weeks prior to us and they had to change ships). Once we boarded, we asked again and no one seemed to know. As it turned out, ...
