Fantastic crew, wonderful ports of call with easy walkability into towns. The menus were beyond our expectations and the local region dining choices were fantastic. I liked that I could mix and match items from the classic menu with the regional choices. Our cabin was basic, but well laid out and had everything we needed. We didn't mind the "fishbowl" window, but there was a lot of noise from ...

We chose this cruise because of our previous experience with Viking. Staff, food, accommodations, excursions - everything was wonderful. We loved the excursions we chose, especially the Alsatian wine tasting. The winemaker/owner was fantastic and he provided a wonderful selection of wines for us to taste. The Colmar World War II excursion in France/Germany was quite moving. The Dine in ...

We've never been on the Rhine but were on the Danube with Viking. On this trip, Viking continued to provide outstanding service, immaculate boats, terrific food, and interesting day trips. We particularly enjoyed the pre-trip and post-trip experiences. These enabled us to go at a slower pace, and were enhanced by a Viking guide. On board, the dining was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxed ...

We chose the cruise because it was time to get back out there after the pandemic, plus the offer of free airfare was a contributing factor. We had never traveled with Viking but of course had heard of them. When we booked our tour, we didn't realize that there was only 1 elevator on the ship, from the main floor to the second floor. We knew we had a tiny room but the 14 stairs to go up for meals ...

My wife and I have talked about going on a Viking Cruise and especially the Rhine Getaway! I cant begin to tell you how wonderful our trip was. From the moment we stepped off our airplane, Viking personnel met us in the airport to get us safely to where we were staying. We spent 2 days first in Switzerland and it was truly Amazing. The Cruise itself was magical, from the Staff we had who went ...

After looking longingly for years and then having to put vacations on hold during Covid, we jumped at the opportunity to take a Viking River Cruise. We are so glad we did! We chose the Rhine Getaway cruise and the Viking extensions in addition to the river voyage. Our visit to Como, Italy set the tone for everything that followed. A truly wonderful Viking Program Director named Sam met us at ...

A relative recommended it. She was very pleased with it. I was amazed at the quality of the personalized attention given by the crew and servers. The food, drinks, and service were amazing. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to rest and enjoy great sites along the Rhine! We boarded our ship in Amsterdam and disembarked in Basel. The sightseeing and included guided ...

This was our first Viking river cruise. We had booked in 2020 but due to COVID it was cancelled. We rescheduled the Rhine Getaway for Aug 4, 2022. We had 2 night pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam. We really enjoyed touring the city with the guide and on our own. We stayed at the Movenpick which was convenient and close to our ship when it was time to board. Our room was a French Balcony (C). We ...

We have wanted to do a river cruise for some time based on feedback from friends. It was everything they promised. The small boat was much more user friendly and comfortable than large ships. The ports and free excursions were interesting. The food and service was outstanding. The entire event seemed much more relaxing than an ocean cruise. The French balcony cabin was small but a large lounge ...

Everything about the cruise was excellent!! From the time our plane landed in Amsterdam until we flew home from Basil they had all necessary paperwork, shuttles, and luggage all ready to go. Viking did a tremendous job taking care of everything and everyone! All excursions we were offered and took were excellent. Meals were fantastic! Room was just a little small but not much time in there anyway. ...
