First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I went along with my wife and some friends for this cruise to see parts of central Europe along the Danube and enjoy the winter Christmas markets. For ME, it didn't really work. Others really enjoyed it. There was a large social group travelling together and they turned the trip into too much of a party boat. It was difficult to have low key interactions with other travelers. The tours ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

I wanted to see Germany and Austria, also to see the Christmas markets. My friend asked me if I was interested in going to Germany, and since my heritage is predominately German, I accepted. The food was AMAZING, and wonderful. Our servers learned our names and preferences the first day; they were wonderful and I hated to leave them behind. There were so many itineraries and things to do; I ...

After hearing how great Viking was from many, people, we found the whole experience to be quite disappointing when compared with Oceania and Tauck. We booked business class air and a suite for the Danube at Christmas. They make you pay in full far in advance. Working with Viking is extremely difficult. The air department, which you pay extra to be able to call are constrained by rules and ...

We go on cruises 2 to 5 times per year but this was first experience with a river cruise. Though the cruise was very nice there were just too many things we didn’t like that will keep us from trying again. Ports: Every port stop was great! However, we did expect there to be a bit more variety in the Christmas Markets at stop. We found very little differences (with the exception of the food) ...

My wife and I did the Paris to Prague river cruise about 8 years ago and really enjoyed all the tours of the museums and history. Wonderful castle tours and guides that knew all the history, so it was past time to do another cruise. We decided we really wanted to visit Budapest and decided upon the Romantic Danube river cruise. This was very different from 8 years ago, by signing up for ...

The difficulty in writing this review is in keeping it simple. So perhaps a bulleted list: 1. Cruise Director (Jochgum "Joey" Schuijt) was phenomenal - he kept us informed, engaged, and interested the whole time. 2. The Maitre D' (Aryen) was the perfect food guide, tipping me off which way to go with each meal. 3. Chef Milos brought the goods! A wide variety of dishes and flavors the ...

The overall cruise was excellent. Everything was first class from the cabins, meals and service It was also very nice in that meals and activities on board were not formal. We tried to sit at the same section for dinner every night as our waiter was outstanding. We got personnel attention from him. The only drawback to the trip was the pre and extended cruise excursions which were not as well ...

Worry-free vacation! Viking takes care of airline tickets, transport from airport to hotel, transport from hotel to boat, even transport for extensions. There is also a representative on site with suggestions for activities and restaurants during extensions and on arrival. Viking also takes care of luggage, just identify on arrival and at other various times, Viking staff loads the luggage and ...
