Viking Vilhjalm Cruise Reviews

This was our first Viking River cruise, so we decided to travel through the land of our ancestors, German Hungarian. We had heard that if we could only go on one trip, the Danube was the one to choose. We traveled with 2 daughters and their husbands. We all agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. We found the pace to be comfortable and entertaining. The meals were well ...

We chose the Danube Waltz because the countries visited and the region were on our bucket list. The thing that stands out the most to me is the organization and seamless process Viking creates to make the journey so comfortable and stress free. From the color coded bag tags, to the Viking ambassadors that met us at our arrival airport to the departure transfers the stressful parts of the trip were ...

We did the Rhine a few years ago and wanted to try the danube. This cruise was a little different as most of the cruising was done at night. Just different from the Rhine where we saw more scenery. Tours were good, but we did not take advantage of the optional tours, there were a few that we should have done. Thought they were a little more pricy that I would have expected. Food was great and ...

I really enjoyed myself on the Viking cruise along the Danube. The smaller ship allowed me to get to know lots of my fellow passengers. The activities in the evening were terrific and increased the sense of community found on the smaller ships. I appreciated the special touches, like the Mozart chocolate that greeted us as we returned from our excursion in Vienna. I also was delighted to find ...

We have been on numberous ocean cruises previously but our last 2 were with Viking. We quickly became converts to the Viking experience. We love the smaller ship size, adults only and the genuine care that each of the ship staff provide for the guests. One of the best parts of the smaller ship is the people you meet along the way, from the guests to the staff! You see the same people a lot and ...

When we signed up for the Viking River Cruise “The Danube Waltz” I have to admit it was the dates as much the journey that we liked. My step-daughter was traveling in Spain with a school trip and I wasn’t going to stay in the states while she saw Spain. So my wife and I were excited to find a river cruise through a part of the world we had never visited with the fact same dates. The kicker was ...

We chose to go on this cruise as we had been invited to a wedding in Austria and were going to be in the area. I had never thought of visiting Eastern Europe, but it was a great adventure. Every city and town on the trip was beautiful. Budapest and the baths were great. Bratislava was quaint and lovely. Krems, Linz, Viennna, and Pasau, were all also great places to visit. The food on the ...

We chose Viking because many of our friends had done their river cruises before and loved them. We chose this cruise because we had always wanted to visit Budapest, Vienna and (especially) Prague. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived in Prague, Viking staff took care of everything. An incredible, well-oiled machine. The boat itself was wonderful, and once again, the Viking crew ...

We will be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year and really wanted to splurge on a fabulous trip. Due to concerns over low water levels last summer and fall, we opted to book our cruise in May. As Mother Nature decided to make up for her performance last year, we had nearly a solid week of cool temperatures and sometimes heavy rains. Several of the heavier downpours occurred during our ...

Our travel agent suggested Viking Cruises. It was perfect! The stateroom was spacious and lovely. The included tours were educational and informative. Having walking challenges, it was nice to have the leisure tour options. And with guidance of the tour guide and Viking reps, I was able to use a taxi twice to save my walking strength. The meals were excellent. I would have preferred an ...
