Viking Egil Cruise Reviews

We choose Viking River Cruise on the Danube because of our experience with the Viking River Cruise on the Rhine during Christmas which was fantastic. On the Danube River Cruise, the crew took care of us and exceeded all our expectations. The food was delicious and staff were attentive to our culinary desires. In addition, the bar staff went out of their way to make our cruise memorable. Our ...

We chose this river cruise because we had been on the Rhine with Viking before and so enjoyed it. Perhaps August wasn't the best time to travel because we had to deal with low water levels in the Danube that kept us from getting to our final port. That, in turn, kept us from getting to experience our final excursion due to the distance involved in busing us there. Viking was willing to do it, ...

I am one of those naïve and gullible people who fell for Viking River Cruises because he relied on the exaggerated, positive descriptions by the parent company. “The World's Leading River Cruise Line, The Most Awarded River Cruise, Best Inclusive Value, and the Viking® Difference” sounded, great, generous, and luxurious. I admit I had not read all reviews available on the Internet that have rated ...

We booked this cruise primarily for the Passion Play in Oberammergau and enjoyed all ports of call. We had Viking throughout--Viking Air and the pre-cruise stay. A little trouble with airlines but who doesn't incur that now. Luckily, we made all flights and our luggage was at its final destination. We were three hours late coming into Munich but we called Viking and their agent met us at the ...

This was my 3rd Viking cruise and my wife's 6th. Overall, it was fabulous. The cruise director, Edina, was so very helpful and her tour of Budapest at night was a highlight. Maître d Martina was a joy - the food on this cruise was superb - a cut above the already superior Viking cuisine. The destinations were also wonderful as were the guides in each destination - Achim in Vienna, Ester in ...

The accommodations were great. The service was great. The food choices and quality were great. The sights from the ship were spectacular and the port choices were wonderful. The included excursions at each port city were informative. Language was not a barrier. Our program director was very accommodating and very helpful. She made sure each guest had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We were happy with the ports, and took advantage of the pre-extension to have time to enjoy Prague. This was our 2nd Viking river cruise, and our pleasant memories and experiences brought us back to Viking. The staff is so very welcoming and helpful! The local guides are knowledgeable. And, appreciated all the included excursions, as well as some of the ...

Many people had told us that a Viking river cruise was exceptional so we wanted to try it. It was everything and more than they said it would be. Plus we always wanted to see Vienna and Budapest so it was a good opportunity. What truly stands out about our river cruise were ALL the employees. It was obvious that these people in all categories of functions were very well trained and that they ...

My wife and I have been on 5 ocean cruises with other cruise lines and have always wanted to try a "river cruise", but Covid got in the way for the last 2 1/2 years. We were originally booked with Viking for Oct 2020 on the China cruise/air/land 3 week trip of a lifetime (including 2 days in Wuhan - no kidding). But with Covid, we had to cancel and rebook a different cruise a few times. But the ...

This was our second river cruise aboard a Viking Longboat and we returned because the first trip was such a fabulous experience! In honesty, Viking cruises are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! On Viking everything is top notch, from the staff, the tours, the itinerary, the food, the amenities and the whole experience. The tour guides are excellant and using the listening devices ...
