From buying the trip, to working with Viking on excursions, extensions, and airfare, the whole process was smooth as silk. It was to be my first cruise and I didn’t care too much where we went, but it was on my friend’s bucket list to visit Normandy, so Paris to Normandy was a perfect fit for the group of us. I now love river cruises as they take all the hard work of planning off your shoulders. ...
As a member of the hospitality industry, I was blown away by the attention to detail that the entire Viking crew displayed throughout out journey. This was a family trip celebrating the life of our grandfather who passed pre-Covid. There were six of us and we ranged in age from 36-76 and every single one of us commented afterwards just how much fun this cruise was.
Upon boarding, I made a ...
Five years ago we took a different Viking River Cruise and knew we would be taking another.
Everything was so enjoyable. Beautiful ship and professional crew.
Wonderful service from all of the staff.
Interesting and informative tours and guides.
On our first cruise we boarded in Basel Switzerland and the ship began the cruise that day. When we arrived in Amsterdam we had to leave the ...
The itinerary on this cruise was outstanding, and the Radgrid's docking berth at Grenelle was extremely convenient, within walking distance of shopping and the Eiffel Tower! The daily included tours were, for the most part, both charming and interesting; we would suggest smaller groups so that the guides could keep us together and answer questions. Our tour of Giverny was disappointing; the ship ...
I am interested in WWll history. We chose this cruise as it checked my boxes. A pre cruise package in Paris, my favorite city, and a trip through Normandy to learn more about D-Day. We missed our connecting flight and were rerouted through Heathrow (ugh). We arrived in Paris many hours later to find our luggage decided to stay in London. Viking was there to meet us and transport us to the ...
Viking France's Finest was my first Viking cruise; first River Cruise; and first time at every one of the ports. The week on the Radgrid was followed by 7 nights on the Viking Heimdal from Lyon to Avignon. My friend and I did the pre and post extensions as well. 3 weeks total for the trip.
Viking is very well organized and is a class act. There were Viking reps at the hotels to answer ...
Our family was interested in honoring the fallen soldiers at Normandie in addition to visiting the various villages and towns along the Seine River. We also joined good friends who were members of an honorary class of West Point graduates to celebrate and participate in their class reunion. The service and professionalism and friendliness of the entire Viking staff made this trip an absolutely ...
Always wanted to see Paris. Traveled all over the globe but very little time in France.had to get it off the bucket list.. We started using Viking because we are both in our 80's. We don't need roller coasters on board ships, casinos, spas or 6000 fellow guests any more. The business model of Viking suits us fine. We have 2 more river cruises and one ocean cruise booked. Viking is my go to travel ...
We love this cruise getting to experience France! We stopped in a few small towns that were so charming and picturesque! The local food and on the cruise were phenomenal. The service was outstanding! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! I loved the daily itineraries with little articles about the area we were in. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and made the tours so impactful by putting the ...
Sister was already taking this cruise. Always wanted to visit Normandy beaches.Food quality and diversity were outstanding. Excursions and guides were high quality. Really liked chef’s recommendations. Would have preferred an extra day at Rouen and 2 days at Normandy beaches. Would have liked to see U.S. beaches, Commonwealth beaches, and Bayeux. Three day extension in Paris after cruise was very ...
