Truly all inclusive

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Egil

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

The Viking crew was fantastic. They took care of everything, always a friendly smile and cheerful hello. The food and entertainment were wonderful. We witnessed lots of team work and professionalism at every level from the ship’s manager, cruise director and captain all the way down the chain including maintenance and housekeeping. It was so nice to have the entire tripped planned and to be picked ...

Our daughter lives in Germany and we wanted to try a River cruise - this was our first time. The itinerary was ideal and hit a series of stops that were very enticing: BudaPest, Wien, Krems, Pasau and finally Regensburg where our daughter met us at the end of the cruise. We were very fortunate to have ideal weather for the cruise which made it all the better. Discovered areas that we'd not ...

Best Vacation Ever

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Egil

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Been receiving Viking brochures for several years but were turned off by the high prices. Since we are now retired, we decided to splurge and we are so happy we did. Turns out the high cost is well worth it for the experience. Included excursions in all ports, excellent meals with wine and beer included, nightly entertainment, and constant pampering by the attentive crew made our experience ...

This was our Third time on Viking river cruise. The other two were 5 star trips. This time, Mother Nature played a large role in the disappointment we had. It should be said that the staff, Cruise director, Hotel Manager and the Captain were totally engaged in trying to provide a great experience in spite of the River issues. Meals were excellent Room attendants were top notch its just the ...

It was available during the time frame we were available and it was the right amount of time for us. Plus who would not want to see Vienna & Budapest and sail on the Danube Rive on a Viking Cruise. Unfortunately it rained for three days. The river was too low to be able to go to the original destination then the river was too high to sail, The crew were fabulous and constantly changing ...

Great location, perfect venue for my interests and pace, and fair pricing for the total experience. Take your spouse. Take your friends. Take advantage of the excursions. Enjoy the food. Experience the culture. Enjoy the comfort of the ship while docked or on the way to the next stop. Talk with the crew. They are professional and unique and a wealth of information about their respective heritages. ...

My first river cruise

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Egil

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I had heard of Viking River Cruises on television. They looked very relaxing and scenic. My wife and I said we should try one so we decided to commit to one. We picked The Romantic Danube and were not disappointed. The ship was state of the art and everything on board was first class. The crew of the Egil were so nice and accommodating. Our luggage was lost by the airline and that was ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

I have always wanted to go to Vienna, and Budapest. I am somewhat of history buff. Especially of the Hapsburg dynasty. So to see these places was something I wanted to do. When I was a child there was this show about Austria post WW iI. After the Russians had left. During this show there was a segment on the Sacher Tort. I have always wanted to have a piece. I wanted to eat the real one at the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

It was our first cruise and we were celebrating our 35th anniversary, I wanted my wife to see some of the wonderful cities I’d visited on work trips. The ship was very nice, clean and European style. The room, those small, was well appointed and had a small veranda, which we enjoyed sitting on whenever possible. The water level was low so they had to make some minor adjustments. We were ...

The crew on Viking Egil was top notch! Everyone from the captain to the waiters and waitresses was fantastic. The cruise itinerary was great…we started in Budapest, sailed to Vienna, then Krems (Austria), then Passau, Germany. The water level was too low to make it to our final stop (Regensburg), but in true Viking style, they re-organized everything so that we made it to Regensburg (by bus with ...
