We were encouraged to join my brother and his wife on the Danube Waltz, we seized the opportunity and we are so happy we did. Everything about the trip from the accommodations on the boat, the food, every aspect of the service was perfect. We felt safe, comfortable and well taken care of the entire cruise. The effort the restaurant staff, "hotel" staff, cruise director and the ships crew ...

We had an amazing time aboard this ship. It was such a smooth sail. We barely knew we were moving unless we looked out the window. We were impressed with the piloting by the captain. His parking skills are amazing! The crew was incredible and attentive and friendly. The excursions were fun and informative. The tour guides did such a great job of teaching us about their homes and history. We ...

We did the Danube Waltz last August 2022. This was our first river cruise. We had free airfare, but upgraded to business class to travel from Chicago to Amsterdam. We will now only fly business class to Europe. We also got the drink package for free. We are not big drinkers…mostly only ordered a cocktail before and after dinner. The staff was wonderful. The service was fantastic. The ship was ...

Disappointing Viking River Cruise

Eight days on a fully booked cruise with crowded dining and tour buses, I guess it was inevitable that Mr virus would take up residence in the patrons. Frank got to spend the last three days of the cruisea with a sore throat, headache and fatigue. By the end of day 8 of the cruise, it was apparent infection was widespread on the boat with one poor soul taken off on a stretcher. Too many people in ...

The cruise was much more than I anticipated. The overall experience was by far above expectations. The cabin, food, service and excursions were wonderful. I would recommend this company for all your river cruising. The cabin was always cleaned early and refreshed with towels. The refreshments in the refrigerator was a great selection. Fresh cookies in the room in the afternoon. Beds were ...

Originally booked the cruise because family was going to be going as well. But, they were unable to come. We appreciated that this was an all adult cruise and our fellow passengers were of similar age. We enjoyed getting to know several different couples over meals. Thoroughly enjoyed the company of our fellow passengers. The entertainment on board was very good. The local talent had ...

We took a Viking cruise on the Rhine River and had a marvelous time. Several years passed before we could take another Viking cruise. So this year we cruised the Danube. It was a wonderful cruise; there were interesting tours available at each port. Viking does an outstanding job of providing interesting tours, wonderful tour guides from the local area, transportation when needed... one can ...

I chose Viking for its quality reputation and the trip from Budapest thru Vienna to Germany. Learned a lot of history about austria in WW2 and the cold war. The concentration camp is a must see. The ebike trips were nice. Vienna has so much. Dinners were like good meals in a nice restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Clientele was older (over 65 avg age) but even our ...

We wanted to try Viking because we had heard so much about them. We were hesitant, because it is more expensive than other options. Our cruise, booked with another couple, was rescheduled 3 times due to the pandemic. We chose both the pre and post cruise tours in Budapest and Prague, respectively. We were treated like royalty every step of the way. Not only were the destinations beautiful, but the ...

The travel arrangements made by Viking were superior. The only drawback, as first Viking passengers, was we did not book Viking from our hotel at the end of the cruise to the airport and had to arrange our own transport. we chose the extensions in both Budapest and Prague. The hotels were absolutely great and the excursions worthy of the extra cost. Almost every excursion included both ...
