Awesome!!!

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

This was a great trip. The staff on this cruise were exceptional. The service was great and so was the food! This wasn’t your run of the mill “buffet” food, this was well prepared, high quality food. Wine selection was top notch. We have taken several cruises and this one was by far the best. Shore excursions were well planned. Communication was really good. Due to tidal changes, itinerary had ...

We have sailed on Viking before and we enjoyed it. This cruise surpassed our expectations. The staff was attentive and good natured. The food was delicious and varied every night. If you are lucky enough to go on this cruise, go for it. The dinner in the chateau made me feel like I was in a Hollywood movie. The extension in Paris was also fun. Although the weather was not cooperative. We were well ...

Great crew

This cruise was a bit more relaxing because there weren’t as many excursions. It was very interesting and we had a great time. The crew was amazing. They worked very well together and helped where needed. Georgi and David were delightful and we sat at their table every evening! The demonstration by the chef and the maitre’d was interesting and funny. These two had a great time performing for us. ...

Bordeaux Experience

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Where to begin! I have friends that have taken over 9 Viking journeys both on the River Cruise as well as an Ocean voyage and they spoke so highly of the staff and complete experience from booking the trip, the tours and extras that are offered like the silver spirits package and more. I had to share in the experience first hand. This was my very first cruise ever and I must say, Viking did ...

Wine, wine and more wine

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Neither of us had been in that region of France before. We like wine so it seemed like a good choice. It was less than expected. This was our first time on Viking, though we have taken other river cruises with other companies. Viking has a reputation of being more "top of the line" but we did not experience anything overly special about the cruise, the ship or the crew. The food was excellent. ...

Bravo, Bordeaux

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Viking River Cruises came highly recommended by friends we trust, so we were confident in booking with Viking. The opportunity to add on three nights in Paris post-cruise was appealing to Angela, who had never been to France, and the cruise through Bordeaux appealed to Tom, a wine enthusiast. All-in-all, this experience ticked all the boxes for us. The bonus was all the wonderful and interesting ...

Learned everything I wanted to know about wines but was afraid to ask!

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

This was our 6th Viking river cruise and we have been running out of rivers. We read a lot about the Dordogne river region, we knew nothing about the Garonne river, and wanted to see the area and the city of Bordeaux. We can see now that compared to our past river cruises, this part of France was not as picturesque and interesting. It was really all about wine. While appreciating the opportunity ...

Wine and food. And wine.

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

HeartTravel
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We had not been to this region of France and enjoyed seeing the area. We learned more about wine in a few days than in a lifetime! As usual, we enjoyed meeting the other people cruising with us, and the food was great. It's so convenient to sleep in the same stateroom every night, and still have a variety of experiences. There were plenty of excursions and down time, if we wanted it. The plane ...

We chose the cruise after watching many Viking commercials during the pandemic and were impressed with Viking's image. Additionally, we had friends who had great experience on Viking cruises and we trusted their recommendation. W We chose this particular cruise because we wanted to sail on a smaller, less crowded boat and really wanted to explore the Bordeaux region of France. Based on research ...

Fabulous trip for wine lovers

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Forseti

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

This is the second time my wife and I took this cruise on the Viking Forseti. We were on one of the original voyages back in April 2014 and said then that this is the only vacation trip we would ever do twice. The boat and crew are fabulous. The food and wine are terrific. The excursions are unbelievably educational, entertaining and delicious. The fact that only adults are allowed on board is ...
