First time cruise for my husband and I . Loved Loved the whole experience . Will do again in the near future . Totally impressed upon arrival in France when we were met by staff and immediately taken to a clean modern shuttle that took us straight to the ship , Same with disembarking , luggage was collected and dispatched to the proper transportation vehicle depending where people were going next ...
Everything on our cruise was wonderful. Enjoyed the cabin, the public spaces. Tours off ship were great. Really enjoyed Ken's talks & the commentary on the tours. Also, thank him for his pictures, we bought the thumb drive & really enjoyed them. Food was terrific, the best scrambled eggs EVER! (Any chance getting the recipe??) Thanks so much. We're looking forward to doing the Rhone Lyon ...
Neighbors recommended Viking and have been on many Viking ships including Ocean Cruises. My husband and I have done extensive ocean cruising and were mainly interested in the river cruises.
We did back to back cruises, called France's Finest. Both of the ships we were on were wonderful. We were aboard the Delling and the Rinda. We did enjoy the Delling a bit more than the Rinda. The ...
We are seasoned ocean cruisers with 24 cruises under our belts and wanted to try River cruising. We’ve sailed on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, Costa, Princess and Holland America. Needless to say this was our first Viking River Cruise . . . we purchased it over a year in advance, paid in full, due to the special deal (it was a great deal) we decided on making it an, “all ...
Our first river cruise with Viking...we were met at CDG airport upon arrival by the Viking staff, whisked to the motor coach for transfer to the Viking Rinda docked in Le Pecq, outside of Paris. Lovely location for walking on your own. A wonderful lunch was served and then our cabin was ready. Our cabin had a French Balcony on the second floor which I highly recommend. It is easy to make new ...
this was our second VRC cruise - my husband surprised me two years earlier with a VRC cruise on the Danube for our 40th wedding anniversary - which was amazing!! so we planned another one and included several family and friends - this time from Paris to Normandy and back...we all enjoyed every minute of it - the staff was warm, friendly and engaging...the food was excellent - every night a ...
The choice of optional and regular excurisions were not as great as other cruises we have been on. Otherwise, the ship was great, service was great and the food was good. It seemed to me that Viking wanted to put a river boat on the Rhone river and then tried to come up with things to show their passengers. Some of the tours were too long. Some were too boring others were very good. The tour ...
Wonderful Viking river cruise along the Seine River in Western France. Peaceful and relaxing countryside cruising to the historical and emotional WWII beaches and U.S. Cemetery at Normandy. Viking does it right. Well planned excursions; free time; excellent food and exceptionally clean ship. Ships staff were excellent and very accommodating. River cruising brings with it a smaller number of guests ...
We were especially interested in the combination of Paris and the Normandy Beaches aspects. The ship, staff, food, shore excursions, and all travel logistics were excellent! Not as many castles as some other cruises, but very much enjoyed the Seine River views of French villages and countryside. Had time to explore Paris, both on our own and with guided tours, both before departure and last day ...
We chose the Normandy cruise because it was a place we had wanted to visit. Several couples from our development had been on this Viking cruise. Also our travel agent recommended Viking cruises.
From the beginning of the cruise to the end we were treated royally. Viking met us at the airport and took us to a Viking bus. When we ended our cruise the reverse was true. Viking has thought of ...
