"This will be a recap of our recent Viking River trip, with the pre-cruise package, from Zurich to Paris.Would have been lovely on a 75F day, and would have welcome if the tour description had included a 50 minute stop at who knows where on one of the hottest days of the year - this after an already long coach ride...."Read More
This cruise was Paris to Zurich. I had never been on Viking before. I was immediately impressed by the evident organization regarding check-in, baggage labeling and handling, and room assignments. The cruise was well planned with multiple excursion choices. On excursions, every guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We had plenty of time during each of the excursions and enjoyed each. ...
We wanted to visit Switzerland for a long time. And my family history is from France.
Zurich was horrible I wouldn’t go there again. At least not at that time of year.
Also this isn’t a cruise where you are on the Ship a lot. There is a lot of busing. But the cruise is amazing, the staff even more so. In the future I’d prefer 11-20 day trips with no hotels and busing. But we will ...
Love Viking - Cruise Director did a great job. The places we went to were very interesting and memorable. The dining experience was excellent every day.
Great organization in getting us to and from the ship. The coach that was not a Viking coach that we had was not in very good shape and the seats were very tight. The Viking coaches were much better.
Loved the history lessons we ...
This cruise was a gift so it was picked for us. The fabulous service began day one being met at the airport and transported to the hotel where we were met with a friendly smiling face of Simon our cruise director. The 2 days in Zurich was wonderful the tour of the city was amazing.
Our trip to the Swiss Alps was breathtaking- the water and mountains was amazing.
The crew aboard the ship ...
Our overall experience was wonderful! Everyone was beyond helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I had never been on a cruise before, and don't have an interest in the larger Ocean cruises. River cruising sounded delightful, and it was! The food was delicious, the rooms, while a bit tight, are very well designed and high quality. We had a balcony, which I would recommend. Made a huge difference in ...
Viking offers the most outstanding cruises in the world! It is impossible to see all the sights and learn all the history of Europe but Viking presents a variety of wonderful cruises and pre-cruise extensions that are unsurpassed. This was our second trip with Viking and it proved to be as fabulous as the first (the Grand European Tour). On this trip, our time was filled with breathtaking ...
We have taken a couple of previous Viking cruises and were excited to see one that covered some different territory than our previous trips. The crew was outstanding and personable, and the services provided were top notch. We had a good balance of excursions and free time, and the length of travel was just right.
The tour guides at each port were clearly experts at their craft and their ...
The Rhine river boat cruise was so enjoyable! We loved that we could see so many different places in one vacation. It was helpful that all the excursions were planned out for you. We did purchase the extra excursion to the WWll museum. So glad we did!
We met so many people from all over. It was fun to get to know them. We liked that there were less than 200 passengers. It made it very ...
Detailed and personalized service from the beginning to the end. Best cruise ever! The staff were friendly . We have been to many cruises before and so far this is the best. From house keeping to the waiters , and the Chef was exceptional . I can't say enough about the foods. We had a variety of foods on the menu and every day was something different ...
I loved the itinerary, and it stopped at all the ports I have always dreamed to visit. The timing was perfect as far as when the ship left the ports and traveled the river. I felt I had a lot of time on my own to visit ports as I wished. The food was exceptional, and the service was unmatched! It’s such a small ship. It seems that everyone gets to know each other pretty well by the time it’s over. ...
