Viking Alruna Cruise Reviews

This cruise was a long time dream and lived up to my expectations. The route was ideal, the ship was comfortable, the crew were exceptional, warm and friendly and the food was 5 star. I can’t say enough good things about the talented cruise director, Claudia, and the friendly efficient food service staff. The variety of scrumptious food at every meal would appeal to even the most picky eater. ...

We saw part of the Rhine years ago on a trip. We wanted to explore it more and this cruise lined up with places we wanted to visit. This was our first river cruise and our first Viking cruise. Everyone we encountered with Viking was amazing! Logistics were taken care of, the ship was clean and comfortable, the staff and crew were amazing and the excursions were informative and fun. I can't say ...

Choose this cruise because I always wanted to visit Germany and my wife likes castles. The middle Rhein part of the cruise fulfilled both of our wishes. We basically enjoyed EVERYTHING. The food on the cruise was top notch and never disappointed. There was something for everybody. We especially enjoyed the regional dishes on the menu every night. The breakfast buffet was amazing and we tried to ...

We chose this cruise because it fit in with our other travel plans in the U.K. We liked the idea of starting in Basel, Switzerland because we really like Switzerland from a previous trip. The cruise had us stopping in cities in Germany, France, Switzerland, & Holland, all in 8 days: pretty neat. We visited the Black Forest, saw how cuckoo clocks were made, saw many beautiful cathedrals and ...

We chose the river cruise because we wanted to see inland countries. We made our own way to the ship as we came to Amsterdam early for a couple days on our own. When we got to the ship they immediately took charge of our luggage which was put into our room. From then on it was like the entire crew was waiting on only us as they strived to make sure every item was to our satisfaction. Our daily ...

Everything was top shelf, from the cleanliness, staff, programs, organization, and service, to the crew approachability, professionalism, and guidance. The food, drink, and accommodations were superb. The value was incredible! The ship ride and stability was amazing... quiet, smooth, calm, and hypnotic. Very relaxing! The daily excursions were great. The on and off board system work ...

We decided to do a Viking River Cruise because we wanted to see several countries on one trip with only unpacking once and not having to coordinate driving and the logistics of hotels and where to go. Viking did not disappoint. A once in a lifetime trip. We were able to go to so many places we would have never have gone to. It was so easy to unpack and relax! Loved Black Forest and Speyer! ...

We chose this cruise to sail the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel, which included the scenic Middle Rhine, and offered interesting excursion stops along the way. The cruise was very relaxing and we were well taken care of by the crew of the Alruna. The food was great as advertised. Although one of the local tour guides was all talking and virtually no walking, the other guides were knowledgeable ...

We have done several ocean cruises but this was our first river cruise. The Rhine is known for castles and cathedrals and this cruise visited 4 countries, Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland, so it seemed to be a good choice and did not disappoint! One of our best vacations ever! Viking did a great job with all the details from airport transfers, hotels, excursions and of course dining. ...

This was my first Viking cruise and it was fantastic, better then I ever expected. The staff was outstanding, the tour guides hired by Viking were knowledgable and entertaining. My only complaint was the cruise was over to fast. The food on board was eating at your favorite restaurant every night. The nightly port talks by the program director were great and very informative. Real helped set up ...
