This was our first river cruise. We had wanted to try one and finally took it a few months ago. We flew to Amsterdam and left from there. Sadly we did not choose to stay there for the extra time, we regret that. Next time we will add the days. everything that we experienced exceeded our expectations. From our ship to our crew, to food and excursions. We saved and purchased the cheapest tickets. ...
I really loved the cruise. I've never been on a sailing with more than 25 people before, so I'm not an expert. But since you asked, I'll give you my opinion. First the good (and great) things. The accommodations were much better than I expected. The rooms were really quite large, the bathrooms more than adequate (Be aware that sometimes it can take a few minutes for the toilets to flush. There's ...
Having sailed with Viking before, we chose to experience the Rhine because we were ready to explore the history and attractions of the Rhine. We were not disappointed.
The Idi was a comfortable ship with a staff that was consistently concerned with our comfort and safety. The food was great - usually displaying some traditional meal of the area through which we were traveling. The "touristy" ...
We had seen the ads for Viking and when it came time to chose a cruise we looked at the top reviews and decided it would be a great choice. They had the perfect itinerary for what we had wanted to see. So in honor of our anniversary and my husbands 60th birthday we booked our adventure. It definitely far exceeded our expectations. The staff of the Idi were so delightful and attentive. The ...
My friend talked me into talking this trip, and I'm so grateful he did! We had the most amazing experience traveling with Viking.
First we changed the arrival date and airport a week earlier than the ship's departure and toured Venice and Milan, Italy on our own. Took the train to Basel where we started our Viking cruise. This was our first experience with Viking and we loved it!
The ...
We chose this cruise because friends had taken it the year before and really enjoyed it. The cabin was small but everything fit and the bed was comfortable. The excursions were the heart of the trip. Most of the local guides were outstanding, and the group size was perfect to see and hear everything. It was pleasant to relax in the lounge at night. The glassblower was interesting. The staff on ...
We very much liked the fact that we traveled to a new city each night and had a full day to enjoy the sites. We would definitely go again. In fact we booked our next cruise for 2018.
The food, service and cabin were great. There were a variety of excursions that gave you a excellent experience of the of the city that we were visiting. Each one guided by a native of the city we were touring. We ...
A friend of mine told me about . This will be her third. We have traveled together for many years and she knows what i like. Everyone was so professional and sweet and upbeat, the rooms were just perfect(we had the lower deck with a window, it was just right for our things and the bed was comfortable and the bathroom floor was good and warm. I loved it and the tour guides and the schedules were ...
Friends had raved about their trips with Viking so we took a cruise up the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel. We were amazed by the attention to detail and the genuine enthusiasm of each member of the crew from Captain Schlee to our personal cabin steward and everyone in between. We tell the story of the afternoon when we cruised the Middle Rhine passed castles and The Loralei. It was threatening ...
First time "cruisers"...fabulous..we'll be back. In fact, already signed up for fall 2017. Exceeded our expectations. Staff, sights and entire cruise experience was "double thumbs up". Food was plentiful and first rate....but not over the top. Service was prompt, courteous but not overbering...friendly and genuinely interested in getting "it" just right. Cabins were clean, fresh and furnished ...
