Viking Var Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because the price was TERRIFIC and we wanted to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was the first time that we decided to cruise with Viking, so we were anxious to see how Viking cruises compared with another river cruise company. Overall, they were comparable in every way, but Viking was more expensive. (except for THIS particular cruise) We thought the included ...

First. I think Viking is the best river cruise company around. Second. If we had done the Romantic Danube first and the Rhine Getaway second I think my review would be different. But the Rhine Getaway was so fabulous and magical that it is hard to compare. Our trip was also during an unusual low tide with ongoing airline travel issues - both problematic. That said - here are the highs and ...

The Daube cruise and pre-trip to Prague and Nuremberg surpassed our expectations . The Viking crew is outstanding and have you covered from the time you arrive until you depart. The ship was wonderful, well appointed, excellent food, and stable. We did have to embark one port farther down river due to low water, but a dat excursion brought us back to Regensburg so we did not miss it. The ...

We liked the itinerary, and after another river cruise company cancelled our trip a month before sailing (GCCL/OAT), we felt lucky to find this trip on Viking. I think in the long run, this was a much better choice, for less money! The crew is outstanding and truly make you feel welcome. Many knew your name by the second day on board. The drinks and food were great. We were told we might be ...

First river cruise and we were looking forward to visiting Budapest and Vienna. We felt that the brochure misrepresented the schedule of the sailing. We boarded in Budapest on the afternoon of the first day of the trip. Despite lack of specific information on which dock the ship would be, we found it easily. There were several crew members available to help carry our luggage down the several ...

Viking dropped the ball on our Munich-Nuremberg transfer but will reimburse our private transportation cost. After that it was smooth sailing (though the Viking pre-cruise Nuremberg Hotel Le Meridian Grand Hotel had small rooms and poor A/C though a very good breakfast and sauna. We thought the larger Veranda Suite was just right with its additional French door in the bedroom, though more ...

Our wives decided on it. It was the summer of 2022. We cruised with pre trip in Budapest and post in Prague. Overall the trip was excellent. Only one extra excursion was disappointing. It was to a small settlement I can’t remember the name. Maybe if Viking asked me after the trip to write a review rather than a year later I would remember. COVID was in a surge as we departed Budapest on the ...

There is no question that Viking is the top cruise provider, and this river cruise exceeded our high expectations. Every Viking associate, on ship and on shore, was well trained, and always willing to do whatever was needed for us. Without exception. We will definitely be back! Viking’s market is couples, not families with young children. The cities visited have only limited accessibility ...

Cruise Director reviewed the disembarking process for Friday. He explained that everyone would get a notice of what time to leave the ship on Friday morning and would be given a box breakfast for the road and the assistance of a Viking agent through check-in at the airport. At the bus parking area of terminal 2 the driver unloaded all 5 pieces of our luggage in the parking lot and got back ...

We wanted to visit Budapest because my husband had relatives that immigrated from there during WW II. Austria and Germany were countries we were eager to see, and we added Nuremberg and Prague for the WW II info and the beauty of Prague.The tour guides we had were friendly and knowledgable. The took great care to assure everyone was taken care of and accounted for. We loved how calm and ...
