My husband and I chose this cruise almost a year in advance in anticipation of coming months of recovery from surgeries we both needed. We thought (rightly it turns out) that having something wonderful to look forward to would help us to focus on getting better. In particular, we chose the Danube River Cruise at Christmas because we wanted to see the many beautiful, glittering Christmas markets ...

Review What a marvelous river cruise! Let me just begin and end with that statement! I traveled with my sister and we experienced the Danube Christmas markets cruise in December of this year. The ship certainly delivered in all areas. Cabin – we had a French balcony cabin for this winter cruise. The room was on the second (main) floor and the picture window with a sliding glass door and ...

Having lived in Germany for three years several years ago, we loved the Christmas season and markets. Our first Viking cruise was from Nuremberg to Budapest in 2019 - pre-COVID. We were so impressed that we decided to take another trip. The Christmas market trip was a "whim" trip so that we could visit and re-visit the Christmas markets. This time, we traveled from Budapest to Regensburg and ...

The Viking crew was fantastic. They took care of everything, always a friendly smile and cheerful hello. The food and entertainment were wonderful. We witnessed lots of team work and professionalism at every level from the ship’s manager, cruise director and captain all the way down the chain including maintenance and housekeeping. It was so nice to have the entire tripped planned and to be picked ...

Our daughter lives in Germany and we wanted to try a River cruise - this was our first time. The itinerary was ideal and hit a series of stops that were very enticing: BudaPest, Wien, Krems, Pasau and finally Regensburg where our daughter met us at the end of the cruise. We were very fortunate to have ideal weather for the cruise which made it all the better. Discovered areas that we'd not ...

Been receiving Viking brochures for several years but were turned off by the high prices. Since we are now retired, we decided to splurge and we are so happy we did. Turns out the high cost is well worth it for the experience. Included excursions in all ports, excellent meals with wine and beer included, nightly entertainment, and constant pampering by the attentive crew made our experience ...

It was available during the time frame we were available and it was the right amount of time for us. Plus who would not want to see Vienna & Budapest and sail on the Danube Rive on a Viking Cruise. Unfortunately it rained for three days. The river was too low to be able to go to the original destination then the river was too high to sail, The crew were fabulous and constantly changing ...

This was our Third time on Viking river cruise. The other two were 5 star trips. This time, Mother Nature played a large role in the disappointment we had. It should be said that the staff, Cruise director, Hotel Manager and the Captain were totally engaged in trying to provide a great experience in spite of the River issues. Meals were excellent Room attendants were top notch its just the ...
