1-10 of 48 Viking Vilhjalm Cruise Reviews for River to Europe from Budapest
We chose the cruise as it was to celebrate our 25th wedding Anniversary and we wanted to do something special. It started on my birthday and ended on our 26th Anniversary. We liked the idea of a small ship, less people and where we could see the shore at all times. Not only was that provided to us but we got treated like royalty. From the Program Director George to our cleaning lady Catalina ...
We had the explorer suite which is phenomenal! It was like our own apartment to view the whole trip. We spent time on the balcony sipping wine and viewing the beautiful Danube from Budapest to Passau. Leaving Budapest at night, the lights were amazing as we traveled under each bridge. We also went through 9 or 10 locks. I was aware of and watched two that were huge and very cool to experience. ...
We chose this cruise for my 5oth birthday celebration. Every second from take off to returning home the viking team was amazing ! Getting us to the ship from the airport ,the staff was incredible at helping us (with our lost luggage) and finding our way. The luggage was the airlines fault, yet viking took charge and it was soon delivered to our state room by end of the 1st night !.

After sailing the Rhine river with Viking, we knew we would have to enjoy more Viking river cruises. We selected the Danube Waltz cruise and had an incredible time. Spending 3 days in Budapest prior to embarkation, then 3 days in Salzburg and 3 days in Munich after debarkation, the overall vacation was unforgettable! The accommodations abord the ship were luxurious, the staff was outstanding, the ...
This was our first Viking River cruise, so we decided to travel through the land of our ancestors, German Hungarian. We had heard that if we could only go on one trip, the Danube was the one to choose. We traveled with 2 daughters and their husbands. We all agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. We found the pace to be comfortable and entertaining. The meals were well ...
We chose to go on this cruise as we had been invited to a wedding in Austria and were going to be in the area. I had never thought of visiting Eastern Europe, but it was a great adventure. Every city and town on the trip was beautiful. Budapest and the baths were great. Bratislava was quaint and lovely. Krems, Linz, Viennna, and Pasau, were all also great places to visit. The food on the ...
Wanted a smaller ship with a more personal experience, staff was personal and the ship was run by well trained staff and crew. The crew and staff also treated us like family- we had so much fun with all of the crew! any question we had it was answered immediately. All of the ports welcomed us and the captain guided us safely. The only thing I wish there would be on board is a small work out room ...
I was pleasantly surprised with the amputation of light that the boat has. When I walked in, I was impressed by the big entrance with skylights that made the reception area seem bigger. The crew was very delightful and the cruise director was very on top of her game always willing to help and tell stories. Her talks were very informative and educational. I didn’t particularly like my cabin as it ...
My husband and I went on the Danube Waltz cruise with my sister and her husband. The four of us had a spectacular trip! All of the ports and excursions were fabulous! I learned so much on each of the tours. We also did the extension to Prague and that was well worth it!
The food was delicious! I was concerned about meals, since I have a severe food allergy, but did not have any trouble at all. ...
I had often thought about going on a river cruise due to all the ads I’d seen. After talking to a close friend who went on one I was even more intrigued. Then I received word of an available deal that I felt I couldn’t turn down. From the very beginning with my contact of my agent Flynn everything was super easy and just as I was told it would be.
With excursions included, fantastic food by a ...
