Viking Embla Cruise Reviews

My expectations, which were high, were exceeded in every aspect. The attention to passenger convenience and comfort, the attention to safety security, the choice of knowledgeable tour guides, the fabulous food, and schedule organization were managed with precision and expertise. Everyone on the staff treated the guests with the highest degree of courtesy and professionalism while exhibiting great ...

We started in Budapest and ended in Passau. Loved Budapest. Visited the white raven sky bar in the Hilton. Such great views Need reservations even for a drink only. Ship was clean and comfortable. Staff were so friendly and they treat you like family. Enjoy day time sailings to enjoy the views from balcony or top deck. Concert in Vienna was above my expectations. Enjoy the excursions be ...

We went on the Embla for our 30th Anniversary. I really liked the River Cruise because it was adults only, the food was really good, the staff was friendly, you make new friendships and get to see parts of the world you have never seen before. We would go to sleep and wake up in a new place. I would suggest paying extra for the Cesky Kumlov on foot tour. It is a beautiful village with quaint ...

We chose Viking because everyone we had talked to that had been on a Viking river cruise said it was the best sailing experience they had ever had. Add us to the list of those who will recommend Viking to anyone that asks. The included excursions were well organized and provided insights into the history and current highlights of the port we were in. The one suggestion would be to time the ...

After an awesome cruise on the Rhine with friends a couple years ago, we joined the same group for a next cruise plan. Unfortunately, that cruise was postponed due to the pandemic - twice. Finally, we were back together for a second cruise on the Danube. Our expectations were high, and we were rewarded with another grand adventure Viking River Cruise. This time we scheduled a pre-cruise in ...

Being that it was our first Viking River Cruise, or any kind of cruise, the questions abounded. But from landing in Munich to begin our journey, to the boarding of the River Boat Embla, we quickly discovered that the Viking Crew had everything in hand and all of our questions, and those even not thought of were answered. It was actually such a whirlwind adventure we didn't even realize how great ...

The staff was great. The food was great. The tours were great. The room was good except for the temperature being either freezing or burning alive hot and water pooling on the balcony (no drain hole on edge). Unfortunately 5 out of 6 in our group contracted Covid19. Looking back there was lots of people coughing and talk about a lot of people having chest congestion. Needless to say this put a ...

I chose this cruise as I wanted to try a river cruise on Viking. They were having a sale and the price was right. I loved the ship, the cruise line, the ports, the service, etc. The weather was ok, warm at the onset, some days of rain but I expected that and there is no way to prevent that. The room was spacious and well appointed. The meals were excellent. The ship was beautiful. I really ...

We chose this cruise because of the location- Prague to Budapest- and because 3 couples from different areas of US wanted to experience a trip together. Our hotels were located near sites and public transportation. There was a long and then rushed bus ride from Prague to Passat but then we boarded and the adventure continued! Wait staff was first rate- always ready to meet our needs. The cruise ...

Pre-cruise hotel in Munich (Hilton) was fine. We needed to place a call for A/C fan not working. Tours were good and interesting. Local restaurants were few, we needed to secure rides to get dinner. Pre-cruise hotel in Salzburg (Sheraton) was nice and close to shopping and restaurants. Tours and tour guides were outstanding. Our Viking representative for these four days was great. We ...
