Review for a Russia River Cruise on Viking Helgi

Sorry I am late posting this, but we were on the Viking Helgi for the first cruise of the season, which left St Petersburg (SPB) at the beginning of May. We also took Viking’s hotel extensions, in both SPB and Moscow and flights were included (as they are when booking in the UK). Our flight out was OK and the transfer driver was waiting to pick us up on arrival in SPB.
The hotel used in SPB ...

We had always wanted to travel to Russia and so pleased we finally did. Our cruise was the first of the season which was lucky in so many ways. The crew and guides were so enthusiastic and welcoming. The slight inexperience on the first couple of days quickly improved as they became more confident.
Our waitress, Diana, was an absolute delight, remembering our names and preferred teas after ...

We landed in St. Petersburg and were met by the Viking rep who gathered us and got us on the bus. We arrived on our ship and were in our room very quickly. The ship was older then the other Viking ships we were on. The layout was similar, but noticeably different, and clearly older. All of the same services were available.
Russia was more amazing then we had imagined. The museums, ...

This is my sixth Viking Cruise and the 22nd cruise Viking Cruise I have personally paid for (children, parents, in-laws) and it was a complete and total disappointment. The ship's Cruise Director and his staff were completely disorganized and when politely and confronted after several inexcusable mistakes, responded with, " this is our first cruise of the season and we're having to work out the ...

We chose Viking because we were cruising in a foreign country and wanted the best protection. Viking has an excellent reputation and we thought it would be a good choice. The trip was extraordinary in every sense of the word. Staterooms were well equipped and there was room to move about. Loved the Veranda! It was so nice to sit or stand there and watch our cruising. Every staff member was ...

This was our first Viking Cruise and we felt that it would be the best way to experience for the first time, St. Petersburg, Moscow and cities/villages along the way. The time spent in the two major cities was efficiently used; offering comprehensive opportunities. Excursion descriptions were accurate. We were given adequate time to explore some areas independently. On board lectures were ...

The last time i was in Russia, it was the USSR and I was 20 years old. This was our second river cruise, the first on AMA Vietnam/Cambodia and service wise, that was my reference point. Russia of 2017 is an entirely different country with a developing middle class, outrageous traffic in Moscow and a renewed sense of nationalism and attachment to the Russian orthodox church. Surprisingly - given ...

Although my husband and I are not cruisers, we thought it was the best way to see Russia and we were right. The itinerary and the excursions offered were outstanding. We had opportunities to see other places that were not included by taking the subway in St. Petersburg and in Moscow. The crew was superb and the guides Viking selected were very knowledgeable and helpful. We loved the trip and ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s
Have traveled the world during 27 years in the Us Navy. Never been to Russia before. Not only were we shown the country, our Viking guides provided us with in-depth political and social background to better understand the mind set on the Russian people in 2017.
We sometimes were breasted outboard of other cruise boats. On every such occasion, I noticed that our Viking staff manning the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
We chose Viking on the recommendation of a friend who had done the Waterways of the Tsars some years ago. It was everything that we had hoped that the cruise and experience in Russia would be and a whole lot more. The country is changing so rapidly. The grey impression of the Soviet Union is gone and in its place is a vibrant country that will challenge your perception of it.
We elected to ...
