My wife and I wanted to experience the Danube to Rhine cruise. Viking came highly recommended. We had Veranda Suite. The crew was terrific. They were friendly and professional. We went in early November given a decent price drop from the end of October identical cruise. We were lucky in that the rivers were high enough to allow us to sail all the way from Budapest to Amsterdam. Entertained ...
The cruise was an awesome, once in a lifetime opportunity to see a great deal of Europe without the hassles of driving or taking a train. Viking does EVERYTHING to make the trip run smoothly. We had an exceptional weather which helped a lot for the tour of various cities. The daily tour excursions that were included were awesome. We paid for 2 that were beyond the free daily tours and they were ...
Our first Viking vacation and first river cruise. We did the 2 day add-on in Amsterdam and 2-day add-on in Budapest to help time zone adjust and get a chance to visit Budapest, a city we've never explored before. Viking made the arrangements and frankly, this was one of the highlights of our vacation. That is not to say that we didn't enjoy the river cruise, but the hotels were centrally ...
We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus.
The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...
Cruise did not disappoint, and Viking was great to when issues arose. The Grand European Cruise was great with all the stops and planned events. Food fantastic and crew members were awesome! Definity a must for the bucket list
The process of getting luggage to the ship was seamless and the transportation arranged was spot on. The staff is there for your every need and will help in assisting ...
We really liked the itinerary. Had a rocky start when our luggage didn’t show at the Budapest airport. Spent the first 3 days of our trip with no luggage, but it really didn’t ruin anything. We lived in the couple of extra clothes we had packed in our carry on and our laundry was done free of charge until our luggage arrived. Meals were wonderful. We enjoyed eating most meals on the Aquavit ...
This is our second Grand European cruise. We so enjoyed the first one 3 years ago that we decided we would do another in the opposite direction. About half way thru the cruise we had to change ships to the Viking Rolf due to low water conditions. This ship was also excellent and was a virtual twin to the Viking Vali. Both crews were excellent and our cruise director also transferred to the new ...
We chose this cruise primarily because it fit in with our travel for a European wedding in our family and we always wanted to do a river cruise. We had our AAA agent arrange the flights for us and she did a great job getting us direct flights from Portland to Amsterdam, on to Budapest where we spent a few days and then another direct flight back to Portland from Amsterdam.
Overall I was ...
Viking offered some great incentives for their 25th Anniversary which was the nudge to finally sign up for a cruise. Why did I wait so long? Everything about the cruise was so well thought out from how they design the ship to how well they take care of their guests. I like the emphasis on preparing for the trip with book and movie suggestions. Their curated library and on-board TV also enhanced ...
Viking provides a top quality cruising experience. I was impressed by their attention to details. It was the little things I saw that often go unnoticed, but enhance the cruising experience. The common areas were kept very clean and tidy. I would see the staff wiping down the stairs and rails regularly. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and greeted you each time. The included ...
