This was my 4th Viking cruise, and my 3rd river cruise. My first cruise was the Rhine Getaway 2016-09-25 on the Viking Lofn. This time, I traveled with a friend who was going on her first cruise and wanted to do the Rhine Getaway so, figuring that I likely missed a lot the first time, I did this cruise again. And it was so much better than the first time! No doubt that was partly due to my ...
This cruise was a referral by family members who suggested something different than the typical ocean cruise. We have been on numerous cruises including the Caribbean, Alaska, and the Mediterranean but never a river boat cruise. We experienced a fantastic cruise that coupled history and luxury. From the moment we boarded the Viking Rolf, we knew we would experience something completely different. ...
First time going on a river cruise and Viking did a great job all around. We lucked out with mostly very favorable weather and only had one issue with low river levels forcing a stop at Mannheim/Ludvigshafen (not much of great interest to see) as the port near Speyer (intended destination) could not support the Rolf. We're experienced travelers in our 60's and have been on a number of ocean ...
This was a belated graduation gift and a significant birthday celebration trip, that was worth every single penny. I loved how small and personal the experience was, and I loved the fact that we were not pressured to do things like you find on some of the larger cruise ships. The gentle and quiet relaxing pace of cruising along the Rhine was so relaxing. I am glad we went with the balcony option ...
I can’t say enough good things about this experience. My husband husband and his siblings started to plan and book this trip in June 2022. There were 10 of us altogether. A month later my husband passed away but I decided to still go and my sister came with me. The only thing that would have made this cruise better is if my husband had been there. It really was magical. We got to see so much ...
Well, what can I say. Viking river cruises met our expectations and then some. We did not have a bad excursion guide the entire time and we had 8 of them. The food was good and there was plenty of it to go around. I asked the chef, the first night we were there, if my wife could get rice with all her lunches and dinner. He answered that half his crew were Filipinos and he had plenty of rice to go ...
This was our first Viking cruise and we were not disappointed! The food options were great, the stateroom was comfortable and well appointed but it was the staff that made the difference! From our wait staff in the dining room to the housekeeping staff, everyone made sure we felt valued and appreciated. The personal touches made our experience intimate and so comfortable. For example, a bottle of ...
Viking was great in every aspect. so organized. The airport transfers were made simple and stress free. Our hotels during the excursions were exceptional and well located in the towns and villages.
all excursions were educational with very informed guides to explain history , culture and many interesting facts.
The ship was exceptional, well organized , clean with all amenities anyone would ...
We went on this cruise (May 2023), with a group of friends (12 people). All aspects of the cruise were excellent. The check-in process, the experience with changes we made to our dates and flights prior to the start of the cruise. Everything was excellent. The staff was absolutely amazing - Miko, Sebastian, Florin, Alfredo, Sara, the chefs, and really everyone else. The process was very easy! ...
My aunt and two cousins and I had planned this trip since 2018! We were so excited and Viking never once let us down! Everything was top notch, and as a professional organizer I was blown away! Food, service and excursions were all exemplary. The staterooms were so well laid out with lots of storage space. We did not experience one moment of discontent. Renee is an excellent PD and worth her ...
