Viking Magni Cruise Reviews

This was my first Viking cruise and it definitely won’t be my last! Everything was fabulous (well, except for the non-stop rain, but that couldn’t be controlled). All shore excursions, both the included ones and the optional ones, were extremely interesting. The guides were all very knowledgeable and personable. I learned so much about European history. The food was amazing - I especially enjoyed ...

I had the opportunity to take a Rhine/Main/Danube Viking River Cruise in August 2023 on the Viking Magni (Originally scheduled for Baldur). As you continue to read through the review keep in mind Europe was experiencing some of the hottest temperatures for the summer of 2023. Early in the trip the sliding glass door to our balcony locked behind us. Fortunately, our neighbor was still in their ...

We have travelled with Viking 3 times. Twice pre-covid and now just recently this past August, post-covid. The company is night/day and not for the better. Our first trip was the Cities of Lights tour wherein high river levels caused severe deviations and constant bussing from Wurzburg. It was not pleasant but in the end the ships staff and PD as well as Captain tried to make up for the ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and time of year, hoping for a chance at some cooler weather than we're used to where we're from. As it happened, the two weeks of our cruise coincided with the hottest two weeks of the year for this region. This might not have been a big deal if there hadn't been generator and subsequent A/C issues on the boat. The A/C issues impacted our cabin as well as ...

The room has strong odor of sewage backup. This would spread of disease. Eventally lots of people were sick. They got diarrhea or coughing. I and my wife got coughing and took 3 weeks to recover. Reported the problem but had a bit improvment only. The bath room ventilation fan didn't run. We were told to change ship due to the low water level. The new ship has simila problem. You can hear water ...

I just took my first cruise ever. I chose Viking based on reviews and advertising about the extremely high level/quality of service. I unfortunately did not experience that on my trip. Many things occurred including with service during meals and servicing of my cabin, but the two biggest were that I was injured during dinner when the boat hit the side of the river/canal with the force of an ...

It afford us the opportunity to see many cities on Europe's rivers. The cruise overall was fun, interesting and diverse. I wish Viking would have more opportunities to explore cities on our own. It seemed the only way to get to cities was to take an excursion. Wish there were shuttles to leave the ship just to go into town. If you did not do an excursion, you were stuck on the ship. Viking ...

This cruise had been postponed since 2020 and it was worth waiting for. The Grand European Tour took my wife and I from Budapest to Amsterdam and along the way we saw many beautiful towns, cities and castles galore. We also made some very nice new friends--a result of "no-fixed seating" in the dining room--whom we have kept in touch with and will be visiting in the near future. The food on ...

Past experience with Viking was good. This was our 3rd Viking cruise. The first was Russia in 2019 and Italy, Greece, and the Adriatic in 2022. I honestly love Viking. We just had a bad experience on the Grand European river cruise due to the ship having some issues (3 of the 4 propellers were damaged). We splurged on the Explorer suite, of which there are two, on the back of the boat. I would ...

My husband and I are 70-ish and in pretty good health, although I do have some mobility issues (I use a rolling walker for longer distances). We felt this cruise would be a good way to see a nice selection of European cities in relative comfort. Our travel to our point of embarkation was NOT well arranged. Our wishes were not honored and our itinerary was, in consequence, ridiculously long, ...
