We chose Viking's Danube cruise for two main reasons-first was Viking's well deserved reputation for excellence and second, because of the availability of the Oberammergau add-on so that we could see the Passion Play, a bucket list item for us. This was our first river cruise, but it won't be our last. What a wonderful way to leisurely see interior Europe.
The crew was outstanding. Very ...
This was the first cruise for my wife, the second for me, and it was everything we had hoped it would be. The pre-cruise extension to Oberammergau for the Passion Play was excellent. The only wrinkle was beyond Viking's control-100 degree weather and no air conditioning in the hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The play itself was spectacular.
The staff was outstanding, friendly and ...
Viking is a class act! After a two-year delay due to the pandemic, my daughter and I were overjoyed to sail on the Viking Rinda. After Passau's charming sites and an excellent tour guide, we sailed past many small villages and vineyards on the rest of the cruise. It culminated in a spectacular evening arrival in Budapest. The Viking Rinda crew truly seemed to care about our happiness and ...
We are presently isolating in a hotel in Germany after having caught covid whilst cruising on the Danube despite being fully immunised, and are now feeling completely abandoned by Viking.
Prior to the cruise we had pondered long and hard over whether to postpone it for another year, due to the extremely infectious nature of the latest covid variant sweeping across Europe. To help us understand ...
We regret to hear the circumstances you describe, Harrbain, and appreciate you taking the time to detail your experience. We would be grateful for the opportunity to address your...
We always wanted to attend the Passion Play in Oberammergau. Letting Viking navigate the logistics of the play, CoVID, and then time on the Danube was very appealing. Viking feels more collaborative in experience instead of transactional. Even the few grumpy passengers were handled with grace. Attention to keeping us healthy and happy was evident.
There were some pre-trip frustrations with air ...
My wife and I enjoyed the cruise so much that soon after returning home we booked another Viking cruise on an ocean ship for November 2022. The accommodations are extremely nice and help to make the trip comfortable. For me, the food was exquisite. I have an allergy for many spices but peppers in particular. The chef did a fantastic job of preparing some incredible dishes for me. The ...
I had already. been in the Rhine and wanted to explore others places. It was a wonderful trip and would love to do another one next year! The food and service was fantastic. I loved the little games they played in the lounge in the evenings. Angel the piano player was fantastic and would play request. He was much better than the one on the Rhine cruise. The staff go out of their way to make ...
A Danube cruise was chosen as my wife had not been to any of the destinations and so in a week we experienced 3 different capital cities as well as some charming countryside.
We had previously cruised at sea through Celebrity and Princess so the river experience was familiar in many respects but arguably better due to guaranteed no movement and the ability to moor right in the heart of the ...
My husband and I boarded the "Viking Rinda" in Passau on April 3, 2022, and we disembarked in Budapest this morning, April 10, 2022.
This was our first Viking Cruise, and it will be our last.
5 out of 7 days our view from our French Balcony was blocked by another ship. We paid extra for the French Balcony as we hoped to enjoy the scenery from there while having a cup of coffee or a glass of ...
We're sorry to learn your experience wasn't the 5-star trip you envisioned, @Suzanne216. If you have not yet done so, we invite you to share this, and any additional feedback, to...
I had a wonderful time on my cruise, the crew was wonderful and very helpful. The food was delicious and I liked that they had meals connected with the regions that we went thought during the cruise. I would recommend it.
The cruise director was great and he made sure that everything went smoothly. The tours were good and the tour guides were very informative at each of our stops. We had ...
