Viking Gymir Cruise Reviews

We felt this was a bucket list trip. We enjoyed it so much we are going to try and plan and budget for another. Staff and services were top-rate. Excursions were well-planned and executed. You don’t have to pay extra for good value sight-seeing trips. The guides were knowledgeable and usually entertaining. If you do pay for extra excursions they are usually worth the extra cost. The cabin ...

Grand European river cruise was not a disappointment! Great way to explore multiple towns along the three rivers. Service was outstanding and food was delicious. Loved that they had food options at meals from the region you were currently in. Entertainment onboard was really good. Excursions were very well organized and free time on our own free time on our own we never felt unsafe. Staff was ...

Let me begin this letter by introducing myself as an experienced traveler. My husband and I are avid cruisers, but also have traveled extensively through Europe by automobile while living in Marseille, France and Copenhagen, Denmark. We have sailed on Royal Caribbean , Holland America, Celebrity, Cunard and Regent Seven Seas; each of these cruise lines has their attributes and meets a particular ...

We had planned this cruise as a 10th anniversary present, but COVID postponed it. It was definitely worth the wait! There were a few things that made this trip the best vacation we’ve ever taken. 1) service—I have very specific dietary needs. The maitre d and staff made sure that those needs were met and that I was never deprived of any of the amazing food on board. I never felt deprived or ...

My husband and I sailed on a Viking Ocean Cruise and loved it so much that we decided to try a Viking Riverboat Cruise. Our experience on the Mediterranean Odyssey was 5-Star. The Grand European riverboat, however, had some flaws and we can only give it 4 stars. Pro's for the Riverboat experience: FOOD!, Cabin with balcony, Included excursion guides were the best, disembarkation, Cruise ...

The whole experience was breathtaking! The people were wonderful on our ship, very entertaining! Our servers knew our names and knew our wants probably by 2nd or 3rd day AMAZING! Carl was our director and was my savior when i was in a small town and felt ill - my husband and i were going to take a taxi back to ship and Carl came out of nowhere and took care of EVERYTHING! The nightly ...

The Viking personnel took care of our every need from beginning to end. We booked 3 excursions which required additional fare; all three were very valuable. Viking made the excursions accessible for our wife by providing accommodations to the Leisure group on all included excursions, as necessary. We were amazed at the way everyone could have time on their own on excursions but everyone was ...

We were interested in a longer European cruise that was on the Rivers in Europe. We loved this cruise. We had the best time. We liked the smaller size, with less than 190 guests and 50 staff. We were treated like royalty and enjoyed getting to know the staff as well as the other guests. We enjoyed playing cards and chatting with others in the evenings. Typically we are in bed by nine, but ...

Our 14 night Viking Grand European Tour River Cruise was absolutely perfect in every way - the riverboat Viking Egdir is maintained in excellent condition and appeared to be as new as the day it was built. All facilities were always kept super clean. Our veranda stateroom was luxurious, very comfortable and very quiet. It also included a heated floor in the shower and bathroom, a super quiet ...

An ocean cruise on a floating hotel with several thousand people held no appeal for me. A river cruise to historic cities appeal to me because of my interest in history, cultures, and current events. There was just so much to see and experience that it cannot be summed up on a few sentences. The cruise was exceptional. The entire crew, like Sue, Chester, Neni, Flavia, Haren, Mhark, ...
