I was interested in visiting all of the places on the itinerary. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because we had to switch ships in the middle of the trip. It was not Viking's fault and they absolutely handled it like pros! Mother Nature was at fault. If I could have given a 4.9 I would ! The staff was wonderful, the ship was spotless, the food and drink were delicious, and the tour ...
We chose this cruise because it sailed to places we had not been and wanted to see. Our Cruise Director, Hotel Manager, Chef, and all other crew members were exceptional. Viking goes above and beyond to ensure a positive guest experience.
We enjoyed visiting medieval villages like Regensburg, Germany, and touring the Melk Abbey. A highlight and surprise was the classical Concert we attended in ...
Some of the things that have been picked up as criticisms by other reviewers are really to be expected. Water levels can change on the Rhine/Danube on your river cruise depending on the time of year, and a swap of boats was no problem whatsoever. We packed up in the morning, went on a day trip and rejoined a new boat, same cabin, everything looked the same with our baggage in the room, not a ...
Heard that Viking was the best river cruise line. Great service. Very quickly into the cruise we were greeted by our names and got to know the crew as well. Their personalized service was top level. They were quick to make accommodations. Our suite butler was absolutely wonderful. He definitely showed us what the Viking standard is in the upkeep of our suite and accommodations.
The food was ...
We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary on Jul 21, 2023. We decided to treat ourselves and chose the Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. We arrived a few days earlier to visit family in Amsterdam. Viking made all the arrangements and were were very happy. We truly enjoyed how Viking made the trip flawless, relaxing and even when we had to switch ships due to low water levels, it ...
We chose the Grand European River Cruise as it provided the greatest number of sites across several countries that we had never traveled to. Service on the Viking longship was extraordinary. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the meals were delicious with a lot of variety. One could choose from regional fare for standard items or even a combination of the entire menu. Our program director, Alec ...
We went at this time to see the tulips before the cruise began, which we did. As expected the weather was dicey, some good days some not.
The cruise itself was very good. Food was great, company was great. We purposefully did not sit at the same table every night in order to meet new people. For the most part the free tours and the "paid extra" tours were very good. We had trouble with 2 in ...
We originally chose this tour in 2020 and we all know what happened then! We chose this tour to experience the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers in one trip and because my heritage dates back to the 1700s in Germany. The trip was beyond our wildest expectations. The itinerary is fabulous as were the tours. Service on the ship was top notch. The food was excellent and plentiful. We felt at home ...
Wonderful, helpful crew, amazing sights and 'ate our way across Europe"!
All of the tour guides were fantastic an so knowledgeable.
In Passau we had a wonderful walking tour of the city. Our fantastic chef demonstrated Apple Strudel making, which was quite tasty!
In Linz we a had a bit of snow at the beginning of our morning walking tour, but the Viking provided big umbrellas kept us ...
Highly recommend this ship and the Danube river cruise. We started in Passau Germany and ended in Budapest Hungary. Thought we would love Austria the most but ended up loving Slovakia and Hungary the best. However, we loved the whole trip. The food was great. In every port we had fantastic guides. The included free excursions were really fantastic. They divided the ship up into small groups ...
