As our first river cruise, but not our first cruise, we enjoyed it a lot. Do not expect to have the luxuries available on a luxury ocean cruise, the choice of food, or the space and you will not be disappointed. A river cruise is a convenient way to see many sights along the Danube and the day trips provided give a nice overview of each stop. Most of the guides were excellent with the exception ...
We choose the cruise because of a long time desirer to visit Budapest, Germany and Vienna. The cities and towns along the Danube River did not disappoint, they were fabulous. The ship was disappointing for several reasons: 1. The rooms and shower are smaller than most cruise lines. The balconies are super small and not worth the additional price. 2. Food on this cruise was average at best. ...

We chose Viking for this river cruise based on our excellent experience from our "Mediterranean & Italian Sojourn" ocean cruise last year.
We found the Viking Var and the staff excellent in almost every aspect. Service was outstanding in the restaurant, cabin area, and found the pilots and ship's crew very friendly and willing to engage in great conversations.
The "upside" of the cruise was ...
We loved all the stops in Germany , Austria and ended up in Budapest which was a awesome city. The Viking on board experience is the best , service , foods , drinks , they really take care of you. We booked even the air travel with Viking , when arriving in Munich a Viking rep was waiting on us , took us to the ship. Also when leaving the ship they took us to our hotel in Budapest ( we did a post ...
We were supposed to go on this cruise in 2020 but had to postpone due to Covid. We had originally picked it due to the stores in Vienna and Budapest since we had never been there. We finally got to go in mid May and it was an amazing trip. As always, Viking is amazing. The service, attention to detail, food, and excursions were all amazing. This was our 4th Viking cruise and there will be ...
Truly this was a taste of Europe. It was great as it was an all inclusive experience, and I didn't have to worry about a thing once I stepped off the plane. It was great to have planned things to do all throughout the day to do (or not do) to your heart's content. Having an included excursion at each stop was great; we only paid for one extra excursion Anna Deutscher - she was phenomenal. I ...
I chose this Cruise based on the itineraries. Started in Budapest, Vienna, Krems, Passau and Regensburg. The tours were very cultural and educational. The Guides were outstanding and proud of their history and their towns. The EBike tours in Vienna and Bavaria were extremely nice. Being able to see the Lippizaner Stallions up close. The Viking Var staff were outstanding, they were very welcoming ...
A truly memorable experience with native perspectives on the region's history, epicurean flavors and aromas, recipes, all this and the life-long benefits of meeting dear sailing companions and fellow travelers.
Every nautical mile between Regensburg to Passau to Krems to Vienna and ultimately docking in Budapest was wonderful. The color, the history, the language, the music, operas and ...
This was our first river cruise and Viking did not disappoint! We were treated like royalty the minute we boarded. Our stateroom was bigger than I expected, the shower was a good size and Nick, our room steward could not do enough for us, even to looking for a lost earring. We dined in the dining room for each meal and were wonderfully served by Ryan who remembered our names instantly. The food ...
This was our second Viking cruise, we previously did the Rhine cruise. You can't go wrong with Viking. The level of service and quality of tours is really amazing. The itinerary for the Danube cruise is a great mix of large cities - Budapest and Vienna - and smaller towns - Passau and Regensburg. The beauty of a Viking cruise is that you know you'll see all the sights in each port and enjoy ...
