My wife and I chose this choose to celebrate her birthday. The one place that she always wanted to go was to Provence on a River Cruise and was not disappointed. We also bought the Viking Paris Extension, which was well worth it. From the initial booking thru returning to our final destination, Viking always seemed to be there to cater to our every need. Upon landing in Marseille, we were ...

We had taken almost annually cruises on Oceania. We had heard many great things about river cruises and decided during COVID to book this to try them out. We tend to book 1 to 2 years in advance. Well we were surprised as Viking had a representative from the time we cleared customs, until we entered customs going home. We also purchased a pre cruise in Nice and post in ...

Celebrate 50th wedding anniversary. Viking arranged for round trip air and transfers. We were 2 hours late out of Denver and arrived in London late and missed our connection. Eventually we arrived in Lyon several hours late, just after midnight actually. NO ONE from Viking met us at the Lyon airport and no transfer was waiting, and the airport was essentially closed. Yet Viking knew our ...

After hearing many reports from others giving such good reviews of their River cruise holidays ,we thought we would give it a try after enjoying ocean cruises. In fairness the weather was not as good as it should have been, however our experience was definitely below par for the amount we paid. We were in a lovely, but very small balcony cabin, which felt quite confined. The food was not ...

Lyon and other towns have so much history, especially as the headquarters of the French resistance during world war II. Viking does a great job of education and the guest lecturer that came aboard was very informative. I loved Arles, with the roman ruins and Van Gogh's historical presence, and saw where he painted several of his paintings. The ship was kept spectacularly clean by the staff! ...

We have taken many large ship ocean cruises but this was our first river cruise. The experience was amazing! Beautiful ship, great food, wonderful shore excursions and a super crew to facilitate the experience. The ship was modern, clean and easy to get around in. The food was great. Local, fresh and the dining room was arranged to facilitate meeting and enjoying the company of others. At ...

We like France and this was a part of France we hadn't seen before. The overall trip was excellent, as were the side excursions (weather and forest fires are completely outside of Viking's control, of course). The only downsides were the sailing dates ensured that we arrived in Lyon on Sunday and couldn't see the interior of the cathedral (many stores were closed, too). Similarly, we toured Vienne ...

This was our third time traveling on Viking and we expected a delightful, carefree experience. Lyon and Provence did not disappoint but Viking did. From having us wait at the airport for an hour before taking us to the ship (for a couple that missed their flight) but arriving on board 7 minutes after the light lunch was closed down. After traveling all night there was no food until dinner. For ...

Truly a first-class operation!! ...
