My friend and I chose this trip as it was advertised as the perfect way to spend Christmas. We are both widows with grown children who have families of their own. We believed this trip would be beautiful and would provide us with lovely memories. Boy, were we WRONG. Viking is an ok cruise line if all goes well. However if any issue comes up, you are very much on your own. Not only does ...
Thank you, Nancy4614, for sharing your experience with us. That said, while sometimes adjustments are necessary to preserve the integrity of your voyage, we're sorry to learn our response to...
Cruising the Danube combined with Christmas Markets was spectacular! Still had guided tours of the ports, but also got to take in the Christmas Markets. The ship was clean, up-to-date and well-kept. The staff were pleasant, professional, yet friendly. The guides for the included tours were excellent (for the most part), and there was a fair amount of time in each port to explore. We did not find ...
The river cruise was amazing. The tours of the cities were very detailed and fun. The food was amazing. Some dishes were surprisingly spicy but still very tasty. The guides that were hired were very knowledgeable and extremely nice. They were very compassionate about what they were telling us about the cities. On board the ship was incredible. It was very easy to navigate through and the staff was ...
We decided on this trip to celebrate our 50th anniversary. One of the things that attracted us to it was that it had a pretrip extension to Munich and Salzburg. My wife had spent a year studying in Munich, and I had never been there, so this was my opportunity to learn more about that part of her life. For my part, I was looking forward to the trip to Český Krumlov, since my ancestors are from ...
This was our first time on a Viking River Cruise and it will not be the last. They exceeded our expectations in every way. We were met at the airport and whisked to our hotel. We stayed at the 5 star New York Palace hotel in Budapest to begin our vacation. It's the nicest hotel we've ever visited! The excursions in and around the city were fabulous. All of the guides were exceptional. Once we ...
This was our first Viking Cruise. My husband and I have done over 35 ocean cruises. I chose Viking because of their reputation and we liked the itinerary. This was a rebooking from a covid cancellation. We did the Prague pre cruise package.
Pre cruise: We arrived in Prague on Thursday. The Prague airport felt new and very clean. The line for customs was long, but moved pretty fast. The Viking ...
Friends and family recommended. Everything from boat, staff, good and excursions beyond our expectations!
The activities director "George" was so wonderful. He kept us informed, on schedule, and made it really fun. The food was beyond delicious! We ate like kings and queens. We loved how the chef gave us a taste of foods from the region/country we were in...all the food was Delicious. I ...
We were lucky because the week before we sailed, there was a heat wave and the Danube was too low. For our week, it rained quite a bit, but mostly at night so walking tours were unaffected and it was in the 70s and 80s. So choosing the week to go, you get the luck of the draw. This is our second Viking River Cruise and it was just as great as the first. We were surprised that this time, there were ...
We chose this cruise to experience a different area of Europe after taking a Viking Rhine cruise 3 years ago. The ship (Kadlin) and crew were excellent. Viking had a plan in place for low water levels, but we were lucky and were able to enjoy the entire cruise on the river as planned. Cruise director George does a fabulous job- and sings pretty well too. The dining staff and cabin attendants ...
