Our ultimate goal was to see the beaches at Normandy, and since we had such a great experience on a Viking Ocean cruise, we decided to try Viking's River Cruise from Paris to Normandy. The embarkation and disembarcation were done very smooth, as we have come to expect from Viking. We were not prepared for the enormou size of the Charles DeGalle Airport.
Since this was a river boat and not an ...
We were interested in returning to Paris and visiting the Normandy coast. We booked the pre-extension in Paris and found the tours offered were what we were looking for. The Viking representative in the hotel couldn't have been more helpful.We have taken other Viking River Cruises and never been disappointed. The food is great as is the service. The staff are very friendly and activities and ...
We chose Viking for two reasons: first, their support of PBS and secondly because of the ratings. We felt that we would get good value for the money and we were thrilled with the entire arrangement. First, the cabins were very well appointed and comfortable. We did have some plumbing questions about gurgling as we were on a lower deck, but that was minor. The heated floors and mirrors in the bath ...
The promotional price was good and Viking always gives great service. However, the included flights to and from France were fraught with delays and cancellations. The travel was the only downer to the trip. We had asked for consideration in assigning seats due to a medical condition and we were told that it was not possible on the return leg of the trip. This was very disappointing. The cabin ...
A friend of mine had taken Viking River cruises before and she was so happy with them I decided to try them. I don’t regret a minute. Food delicious, staff friendly and helpful. The activities in each city and tours allowed us to see things that Ocean Cruises are not capable of doing. Cabin was always clean and ready for us after an active day. The transportation from to the ship and also back to ...
We selected to cruise from Paris to Normandy as my wife wished to celebrate her birthday with a review of the Eifel Tower. On my bucket list was to visit the beaches of Normandy, and we both were excited about our side excursion to Oxford England to visit the very castle where Downton Abby was filmed. Overall, a great cruise experience and the staff and crew were fantastic. We met loads of new ...
I chose the Viking Paris to NormNdy River Cruise based on what I heard and was not disappointed in the least. The Crew was great and ship was beautiful. Food and the beverage service was first class. Excursions were awesome and onboard entertainment great. An Air France strike during the cruise caused some passenger concern but Viking was on top of the situation assisting in rebooking flights ...
The length, 8 days was perfect for us. The experience of having your hotel room follow you from destination to destination was an added perk. The ship and our cabin were 5 star. Cruising on the river watching the world go by on the upper deck was one of our favorite activities. Dining was beyond exceptional with a pleasantly varied menu. The outstanding service by a terrific staff, whether it be ...
We chose this River Cruise because of its serene nature and smooth boating. We like to see the locks and be able to watch the various little towns as we glide along. This was our first overseas cruise and we heard that Viking always does an amazing job.
The cabin was beautifully cleaned and kept every day. Our house keeper spoke wonderful English and was a pleasure to have conversation. The ...
Destination and price motivated our booking. We had a group of 14 friends who travelled with us. The staff of the Kadlin bent over backwards to provide top tier service in all areas of the ship. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and extremely professional. We were not docked in Paris but were transferred by motor coach. I would have preferred to be closer to Paris but shuttles ...
