Danube Christmas Markets

Our Viking river cruise exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional, food plentiful and delicious, and the included shore excursions were informative and fun. We bought a pre and post extension and both were amazing. We experienced smooth transfers, superior hotels that were centrally located and had delicious buffet breakfasts, and very helpful Viking hosts. We visited amazing ...

From the material we read about Viking we chose Viking as our river cruise for the Christmas markets While the excursions did not give us enough time to visit the Christmas markets we did go back on our own. The atmosphere of the ship along with the food, and the service was amazing. Our room Stewart met and exceeded every need that we had, and make sure we had the things we needed, and ...

No Germany Christmas Market

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I chose this cruise because of the christmas markets, but one week before the cruise we were told that the main market in Germany was going to be closed. It was not a new holiday, so how did Viking not work around this? We ended up not getting to any christmas markets in Germany, which was the main reason why I chose this cruise. We were all very disappointed. If I knew this early enough, I would ...

We have been wanting to do a Viking cruise for years, so we booked it when they were doing a sale. Worth every penny! All the crew on our ship were the best, they were all funny, accommodating, and very nice! The tours that were included that we did join in on were wonderful. I love the listening device that is provided. It made it easier to walk around and look at stuff while the guide was ...

Not up to Viking Standards

As we had river cruised with Viking previously, we expected a top-notch cruise experience. Overall, we had an enjoyable time, but there were several events that, in my opinion, were not up to Viking standards. First, after a day of cruising, we wanted to relax in the lounge with a few drinks before dinner. Each night, the program director would get on the microphone and give a long, detailed ...

I had never been to Budapest, Austria or Germany. This was my second European River Tour. It exceeded my expectations. I was part of a group of eight travelers. Throughout, we enjoyed exceptional food, service, and excursions. We were blessed with sunny comfortable weather, allowing us to explore off-ship, as well as on-ship on the comfortable roof-top. Amazing views of the Narrows, as well ...

This was our fourth Viking Cruise (second River). The primary reason we chose this particular itinerary was to see the Passion Play at Oberammergau in 2022. Viking has a well deserved reputation for excellence, and this cruise was no exception. We booked a French Balcony stateroom, which to us made more sense given the relatively little time we spent in the cabin other than to sleep. Ship was ...

We chose this cruise for several reasons: 1. We have been on other Viking river cruises and knew Viking river cruises to be delightful - everything you could ask for on a river cruise: the Viking staff, service, food, accommodations and daily excursions are so well orchestrated and first class. 2. We have always wanted to attend the Passion Play in Oberammergau. This play is only performed ...

We had cruised the Danube with Viking pre-Covid. We toured again to see the play, a once in a decade opportunity, and experience the Danube again, concluding with two additional nights in Budapest. The trip started with a delayed flight from Detroit to Washington DC to connect with the Munich flight. We called the Viking Emergency number and were connected in less than 30 seconds. The Viking ...
