Lisbon River Cruises Cruise Reviews

We have been traveled on Viking 4 times before and they never disappoint. From the ship, food, side excursions and crew one can not ask for a better vacation. The scenery, was so beautiful that I could not believe it was real. Meeting the captain daily and the rest of the crew made for a very pleasant, caring time. Our cabin was on the middle deck and suited our needs. Most of the time ...

Portugal is a beautiful country, and a river cruise is a great way to do it. The Viking Hemming crew was exceptional, the tour guides were very enlightening and the travel in the Mercedes bus to the off-river sites was extremely comfortable. No complaints at all. We found the food to be excellent, and the servings were perfectly apportioned. The wait staff was very courteous and brought us ...

One of the top rated cruises we have ever been on. I can not say enough about Viking. The crew, the food, the trip each day were superior. We so enjoy both Lisbon and the river of Gold. Exploring each day was an adventure and the people on board were so wonderful. I recommend this cruise to all that I speak with. We fell in love with Lisbon and the Douro valley. The wineries, the ...

We chose this cruise because of interest in Portugal. From our arrival in Lisbon to our departure from the ship in Porto, Viking handled everything perfectly. Transfers were on time, Patricia ( our cruise director) was on top of everything. The hotel in Lisbon was excellent , the transportation team was the best. Once we were greeted on board the Osfrid by the ship’s crew, we felt we were ...

We always knew we wanted to take a second river cruise after our wonderful experience on the river cruise from Vienna to Amsterdam many years before. We also love Portugal after visiting the Lisbon area twice before and wanted to explore the Douro River in the north. Our experience was again more than we could have imagined. The small size of the ship and number of passengers, the staff, the ...

Our on-ship Torgil experience was up to Viking's usual excellent standard: the crew was professional, capable, incredibly courteous and simply fun. The food was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed these folks. The Torgil is a bit older and smaller than the long ships, which means less common area. This would not necessarily be a problem, but for the rain that precluded full use of the top level. ...

We heard positive reviews of Scenic, but this cruise was better than expectations. We began with the precruise in Lisbon, where we had a nice review of the city and met a small group from our cruise (@ 20 people). This group consisted of some of the most interesting and fun people we've met, and we became friends quickly. Once on the ship, not only did we meet more interesting passengers, but ...

We traveled with another couple. Our second river cruise ever. The Douro River cruise is very different from other Viking River cruises. The Douro is very quiet. Ships can only sail at night. And there are no castles to view along the way. All your excursions take you up and away from the River. So your included and optional trips can be longer than most. And you’re not able to just get off the ...

We chose Portugal’s River of Gold because we enjoyed the ports, people and cuisine of Portugal on ocean cruises. This cruise gave us a chance to explore more of Portugal’s interior at a slower, more relaxed pace. We started in Lisbon with two days of sightseeing excursions with a stay at an excellent hotel. We traveled to Porto to begin the river cruise along the Douro; during the trip we ...

I always wanted to see Portugal. I was not disappointed. After 2 years post covid I didn't know what to expect . I was pleasantly surprised that it was very well maintained and the crew was awsome. We we lucky the weather was warm and sunny. The tours that were included was just as awesome as two years ago. I highly recommend this trip. The Fatima tour what better than expected ...
