Viking Ingvi Cruise Reviews

Our family decided (again) to cruise with Viking for our Christmas holiday. My husband and 2 daughters ages 22 and 21 have been travelling for Christmas and by far our Viking trips have been our favorite holiday vacations. Honestly, out Viking customer service rep recommended Christmas on the Danube, and what a great recommendation it was! The Christmas markets made this cruise exceptional for ...

This was a dream of my wife to do this. She and I were not disappointed. The countries we traveled are special in their own right, but the addition of the Christmas markets and decorations made it even more special because it really added the experience of mingling with the people and local culture. It is a PERFECT time and way to experience these countries. The Viking organization was ...

We chose this cruise mainly for the Christmas atmosphere, the interesting and unfamiliar locations, and the Christmas Markets. The weather was a bigger influence than we planned on. We weren't expecting so much ice and snow and such cold temperatures. The tours were mostly good and the scenery was amazing. I wish we could have had more time in the markets. When you book your excursions, they ...

We were interested in European Christmas markets and this seemed the easiest way to see a bunch. What a great decision. The Viking Ingvi crew was wonderful. The steward took excellent care of the our cabin. Dining staff made mouthwatering meals and the selection of local foods for dinner was exciting. Our rule when traveling is to not eat what we could have at home and the menu did not disappoint, ...

Background: I think most “reviews” do not provide much actionable information. They just relate whether the people liked it, or not. I, on the other hand, am always looking for detailed info that is not available from a top-level tour/cruise review site. I am looking for “behind the scenes info” and to benefit from the experience of somebody else like me who has done this already and found the ...

We have been wanting to do this cruise for sseveral years and finally did it. We were able to catch the begining of the Christmas Markets in Vienna and Budapest and they were wonderful. We are happy we did not go on the specific Christmas Market cruise since we found the same vendors and items for sale at the several we visited. The tours were very nice and just the right length of time. We ...

To celebrate my 75th birthday, as an early present from my husband, we decided to take a Viking River Cruise. We picked Viking because of their excellent reputation and ratings. We were impressed with the advertisements we saw on TV showing the ships docked in town; implying it would be easy to visit each stop. So in April 2022, we booked a 7-day Danube Waltz aboard the Viking Ingvi from ...

We had heard about river cruises and wanted to try one. Viking had wonderful ratings and a great deal! So we signed up. I have to say that it was better than I had expected! The included excursions were very informative and well done. I wish we had more time on them to get off the bus, but they hit the highlights and several times we were able to go back on our own for a more in depth experience. ...

I'd been intrigued by Viking river cruises for years but thought they were a bit pricey. The deals this year have been amazing, though, so I booked two river cruises. The Rhine Getaway was nice, but it was too hot (late June) and that made it harder to enjoy the port cities/towns. The Danube Waltz in October was more fun for me. If you are cruising to see lots of castles from a distance or want to ...

They think of EVERYTHING! I love everything about Viking. From the minute you step aboard, everything feels right. The staterooms are beautifully appointed. The cuisine is superb, the staff is attentive and helpful, you can get specialty coffee all day long, along with little treats at no extra cost. The ship is beautiful. The common areas of the sides of the ship are all ...
