Great location, perfect venue for my interests and pace, and fair pricing for the total experience. Take your spouse. Take your friends. Take advantage of the excursions. Enjoy the food. Experience the culture. Enjoy the comfort of the ship while docked or on the way to the next stop. Talk with the crew. They are professional and unique and a wealth of information about their respective heritages. ...
I had heard of Viking River Cruises on television. They looked very relaxing and scenic. My wife and I said we should try one so we decided to commit to one. We picked The Romantic Danube and were not disappointed. The ship was state of the art and everything on board was first class. The crew of the Egil were so nice and accommodating. Our luggage was lost by the airline and that was ...
I have always wanted to go to Vienna, and Budapest. I am somewhat of history buff. Especially of the Hapsburg dynasty. So to see these places was something I wanted to do.
When I was a child there was this show about Austria post WW iI. After the Russians had left. During this show there was a segment on the Sacher Tort. I have always wanted to have a piece. I wanted to eat the real one at the ...
It was our first cruise and we were celebrating our 35th anniversary, I wanted my wife to see some of the wonderful cities I’d visited on work trips. The ship was very nice, clean and European style. The room, those small, was well appointed and had a small veranda, which we enjoyed sitting on whenever possible.
The water level was low so they had to make some minor adjustments. We were ...
The crew on Viking Egil was top notch! Everyone from the captain to the waiters and waitresses was fantastic. The cruise itinerary was great…we started in Budapest, sailed to Vienna, then Krems (Austria), then Passau, Germany. The water level was too low to make it to our final stop (Regensburg), but in true Viking style, they re-organized everything so that we made it to Regensburg (by bus with ...
I had been wanting to take a Viking River cruise, because of smaller numbers of people. Also, I love visiting European cities.
The food, the guides, everything ran smoothly and exceeded my expectations.
The hosts, wait staff, housekeeping, were all on top of their game.
One of my favorite parts was the day we were cruising in the Wachau Valley, incredible views from the top of the ...
Service was excellent, small ship-they remembered your name and preferences. Food was excellent and abundant, No buffets, all table service which was delightful . Highly recommend beverage package, excellent wines and servers very knowledgeable regarding vintage.
Yes River was low and could not dock at scheduled places, but that’s NOT Viking’s fault and they did everything they could-included ...
We chose the Viking Egil Romantic Danube as a last minute adventure, and were pleasantly surprised that rooms were available three weeks before sailing. Viking travel did an excellent job of arranging discounted flights and transportation to/from the ship.
We cruised (below the water line). We found the room to be comfortable, well laid out with large window near the ceiling that provided a ...
Cruise ship was outstanding-great service/wonderful staff and excellent cuisine
The free excursions-always in the mornings, were very good/well organized.
There were optional excursions available in the afternoons with lots of good choices for those with different interests in most cities.
Our only disappointment was that the cruise ship did not have bikes for its passengers-in some ...
We had such a great time in every port, as well as our time on the ship. We love that so much is included with the cost of our cruise, including an excursion in each port, wine and beer at meals, wonderful meals (something lacking on other cruise lines) as well as interesting cultural programs, and wonderful service. We enjoyed getting to spend a couple of days and evenings in several of the ...
