Overall the cruise was above average, but not great. The trip into the Black Forest was to a tourist trap. The dinner out for “German” food was at a German restaurant, but the food was not very good at all. German night on the boat had acceptable German food, but we’ve had much better back in the states. Otherwise, the food on the boat was pretty good. The boat staff were exceptional, ...

We had very high expectations from all the advance work we did before choosing Viking. We were NOT disappointed! The ship was a perfect size, the clientele was mature, respectful, friendly and all enjoying themselves. The crew was amazing. They seemed to exist only to answer our questions and provide for our comfort and enjoyment. The embarkation and disembarkation procedures were painless ...

We selected this cruise so my best friend could experience Europe without any stress or hassle. The ship was clean, and had everything you want or need. The staff was top notch, beyond amazing! Helped with anything and everything! Made it seem like they were your friends not just their job! Our program director Wez was exceptional! By the end of the first night our bartender, Marcio and others ...

Viking is the best! We felt pampered, the staff was amazing! There was evening entertainment on most nights. There was music trivia, a dj night and dancing. We enjoyed the tours, we choose some of the included tours and some that were additional costs. Our tour guides were wonderful. Some days we could just wander around the town. The sundeck was nice when the weather was nice. The part of the ...

Viking lived up to it name...all except when we left. Saw their adds on our local PBS station. Loved our trip from the start, the pick-up at the airport. Lunch was waiting for us on the ship. Since we flew in early, they got our room ready early. You get all the excise you need on their walking tours each day. The food on board was outstanding and the service was even better. It was the ...

I lived and worked in Cologne 50 years ago and had not been back since. It was time. I had already cruised the Elbe and Danube and this planned cruise was delayed due to Covid. The weather was cold but ok. Everything on the ship and tours was 1st class. The food was fabulous. I especially enjoyed the German night and the wonderful soups. Service was very attentive and the staff was great. I ...

We had a wonderful time on the Viking Hlin. We loved being on a Viking River Cruise in the Spring, so we were really looking forward to visiting the Christmas Markets. While we loved every stop with the included walking tours, it felt a little hectic and not as relaxing as the cruise in the Spring. Most days, we had two stops, which turned out to be a bit much for us. The weather was unseasonably ...

Had a wonderful time cruising the Rhine River and stopping at the Christmas markets in the various cities/towns. Great value for the money! Ready to go again and just trying to determine next location. Mentioned to cruise director that our excursion to the Mercedes Factory was disappointing ( the automation lines were down} and we received Champagne and a complete refund! It was a happy ...

Our friend had cruised with Viking before and asked us to join them on this trip. Not knowing what to expect we were completely impressed with everything. From first speaking with Donna Thomas who explained everything and answered our questions, to dropping us of at the airport for our return flight everything went smoothly. Again not knowing what to expect and never being to this part of ...

Getting to the ship was an adventure because our flight was delayed, resulting in potentially missing the ship. The first person we spoke to was awful: she told us to go to the first leg of our trip and "speak" to the people at the airport. This was the WORST advice ever. She did not know what she was doing and did not speak English well enogh. We hung up on her, called again and the next ...
