Rhine river cruise: We chose this cruise for our 40th wedding anniversary celebration
Disappointed that testing for Covid required
Everytime we got up in the dining room, they were there with a mask to put on
The food was excellent. Also, we were never notified when people tested positive on the boat. I feel it was our right if we had been sitting with them at dining. There was allot ...
Viking River Cruises in my opinion are the best way to see the towns along the worlds interesting historical rivers. The ship provides your transportation, hotel, restaurant and evening entertainment, the crew provide the best service, truly people who enjoy their work. Always there to help make your trip fun, informative and exciting. Plenty of excursions available to choose from, always an ...
This was our first cruise of any kind, delayed two years by the pandemic. We did not book air travel or pre/post cruise extensions with Viking so this review applies solely to the Rhine cruise and Viking's customer service. All experiences with Viking were truly excellent. From the moment we stepped on the boat, everyone we met with Viking made us feel welcome, learned our names and did everything ...
Originally scheduled in May, 2020, we chose this cruise because it offered everything we wanted to complement our European vacation: a variety of historic, beautiful venues and the promise of an excellent onboard experience. We chose Viking because of recommendations from friends and were not disappointed. From the moment we boarded the Viking Hiln, it was clear that Viking makes it a priority to ...
We chose Viking because we had heard wonderful things from friends who had traveled with Viking. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived in Amsterdam Airport, we were met by Viking personnel. I loved not having to worry about all the details that a trip like this involves. We did the extended excursions on both ends of the cruise, which we highly recommend. The hotels and ...
This cruise had originally been scheduled for 2021 but had to be re-scheduled due to COVID. We were traveling with friends who had taken this cruise before and loved it so much they wanted to do it again. We liked the itinerary too. We started with a lovely pre-cruise extension in Lucerne. Beautiful city! We also did a Lake Lucerne boat ride to/from Vitznau and took the cog railway to the top ...
This was our first European river cruise; we chose Viking because of its reputation and reviews. I must say Viking DID NOT disappoint! Despite traveling during a time when COVID-19 was concerning, I & my traveling friends felt confident and safe traveling aboard Viking Hiln. The staff was professional, friendly, and capable! I especially appreciated that there were only 82 guests aboard; it was a ...
As the title states the only worry we had was boarding the plane in Springfield Missouri. Viking is waiting for you just outside the security area at the Basel airport. We booked a the two day pre-trip extension in Basel and the hostess was amazing going out of her way to take care of our needs. We give her a grade of A plus. After our extension we were bused to our ship where we were greeted by ...
We had wanted to travel with Viking for year. Finally booked our first river cruise for 2020, which was rescheduled during the pandemic. Everything lived up to and surpassed our expectations. Wonderful, caring crew! Fabulous food at every venue. We enjoyed our late- night visits to Mamsen's for split pea soup and the burgers at the Pool Grille were wonderful. High tea was a lovely treat! ...
We choose this cruise through our AAA travel agent. We have been on the large cruise ships before and found them too noisy, too crowded, lots of children around. This was perfect for us, people around our age, loved the excursions. made some great friendships. We saw our Captain almost every day and enjoyed seeing the wheelhouse. Our servers at mealtimes were so friendly and eager to please. ...
