My husband and I (retired, 65 and 70) have been indulging in high end travel since we became empty nesters, but our last cruise was in 1997 with kids. We’ve been receiving catalogs from Viking for years and this year the lure of unpacking only once was strong and Europe at Christmas was enticing. On the positive side - We booked our own travel and made our way to the Magni without any ...

First time in a river cruise and the experience was awesome inside and outside of the ship. Places and tours were amazing and full of history … the tour guides were completely knowledgeable about everything and made the experience very interesting. Plenty of food and beverages in the ship, never got thirsty or hungry. All the food from the 4 countries were delicious (Hungary, Austria, ...

This was my first Viking cruise and it definitely won’t be my last! Everything was fabulous (well, except for the non-stop rain, but that couldn’t be controlled). All shore excursions, both the included ones and the optional ones, were extremely interesting. The guides were all very knowledgeable and personable. I learned so much about European history. The food was amazing - I especially enjoyed ...

The itinerary was the cities we wanted to visit in and around the Rhine and Danube. We always wanted to do a Viking river cruise after seeing commercials and reviews for years… The crew was very fun and very attentive to our needs and small issues were handled quickly and efficiently. While the weather was a bit cold and wet, umbrellas were always available. We did ask for robes and slippers in ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and time of year, hoping for a chance at some cooler weather than we're used to where we're from. As it happened, the two weeks of our cruise coincided with the hottest two weeks of the year for this region. This might not have been a big deal if there hadn't been generator and subsequent A/C issues on the boat. The A/C issues impacted our cabin as well as ...

We have travelled with Viking 3 times. Twice pre-covid and now just recently this past August, post-covid. The company is night/day and not for the better. Our first trip was the Cities of Lights tour wherein high river levels caused severe deviations and constant bussing from Wurzburg. It was not pleasant but in the end the ships staff and PD as well as Captain tried to make up for the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I had the opportunity to take a Rhine/Main/Danube Viking River Cruise in August 2023 on the Viking Magni (Originally scheduled for Baldur). As you continue to read through the review keep in mind Europe was experiencing some of the hottest temperatures for the summer of 2023. Early in the trip the sliding glass door to our balcony locked behind us. Fortunately, our neighbor was still in their ...

The room has strong odor of sewage backup. This would spread of disease. Eventally lots of people were sick. They got diarrhea or coughing. I and my wife got coughing and took 3 weeks to recover. Reported the problem but had a bit improvment only. The bath room ventilation fan didn't run. We were told to change ship due to the low water level. The new ship has simila problem. You can hear water ...

It afford us the opportunity to see many cities on Europe's rivers. The cruise overall was fun, interesting and diverse. I wish Viking would have more opportunities to explore cities on our own. It seemed the only way to get to cities was to take an excursion. Wish there were shuttles to leave the ship just to go into town. If you did not do an excursion, you were stuck on the ship. Viking ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

I just took my first cruise ever. I chose Viking based on reviews and advertising about the extremely high level/quality of service. I unfortunately did not experience that on my trip. Many things occurred including with service during meals and servicing of my cabin, but the two biggest were that I was injured during dinner when the boat hit the side of the river/canal with the force of an ...
