We surprised my mother on this cruise and it was a surprise to us how much we loved the smaller river cruise. The pre and post trip excursions were amazing, the ship and staff were top shelf, and the tours and guides they provided were excellent. Our favorite tours were the night tours! My hubby thought he would be bored on a small boat but he loved it and we were never bored! Budapest and Prague ...
This was our first experience with Viking. It was wonderful. A great way to explore Central Europe. The food was unbelievable. The tours and cultural experiences were over the top. Something for everyone. We have always appreciated classical music experiences. Sitting in on an intimate concert with the world famous Vienna Boys Choir was unreal. There were just forty guests in a beautiful ...
Wanted to go to the Oberammergau Passion Play. I enjoyed all of the cities we visited which I had never been to before; and was thrilled with the Passion Play. This was my first river cruise and I enjoyed it very much. Great staff and friendly passengers. It was a small ship (I am used to ocean cruising), and I was able to meet quite a few people. We did the two extra nights in Munich which ...
We chose Viking first of all because they are great and then we chose to do Omeramergau because it was such a great opportunity to see the Passion play along with a land tour and then a 7 day cruise all in the same trip. The people we met during the land tour was also on the boat with us and we all knew each other by the time of the cruise which was great! The staff was great and very ...
My friend and I booked this cruise on the recommendation of a co-worker. They were absolutely right. The Viking staff took care of us from the time we landed in Budapest until we left for home in Germany. They very polite, helpful and fun. Our cabin steward took excellent care of our room. It was always picked up and clean. The dining staff made sure we had hot food and anything we wanted to ...
We agreed to go on this cruise with relatives. We don’t think we would have chosen the Danube over other opportunities with Viking, but what a surprise. Czech Republic was the biggest surprise. We are already talking about going back! Of course, we wish we would have more time in Passau, Linz, Krems, and Vienna, extending the three days in Prague and Budapest was wonderful. Just sitting on the ...
In April we cruised the Danube River celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary. We embarked in Passau, Germany. Along the Danube we visited Linz, Austria, where the Danube was Blue. We walked the Market Hall, the Mozarthaus, the Renaissance Landhaus tower and Hauptplatz, the city’s main square and New Cathedral. In Krems, Austria we visited the splendid Benedictine Abbey of Gottweig. We saw the ...
We always wanted to cruise on a river... So pleased. All was better than expected. The crew was awesome. Are stops were out of this world our tours were spot on. Food was delicious. Thanks!!!
This trip was very relaxing. We enjoyed our daily guided excursions with folks who actually live in the area where we toured.
We loved listening to the piano player and our cruise director. Everyone ...
This was our 2nd trip with Viking - and the 2nd river cruise of the same itinerary - and it was amazing! We'd do it again tomorrow.
The ship is immaculate, the crew was fantastic and the food (and drink) was excellent too. The excursions were also amazing as Viking employs local guides who are a part of the community you are walking/touring around.
No kids, no gaming, no "zoo" of people, ...
We've cruised with Viking 3 times. Each time it gets better- more shore excursion options (even biking) and always an intimate look at each town we visit. Viking is not the typical tourist vacation. They make an effort to help guests understand each place we visit. Viking staff are amazing! Knowledgeable, helpful and they seem to love what they do. The ship architecture is beautiful- Scandinavian ...
