Itinerary sounds good, but that is only if you would enjoy an 8hr bus ride from Paris to the ship in Germany.
The first morning after eating a tainted breakfast and between 4-5hrs later, I came downwith the worst case of food poisoning anyone has ever had. Viking has decided not to include any medical personal in their crew, so I layed in my cabin for the next 3hrsrapidly dehydrating. When we ...
My wife and I have been on numerous cruises (22+) throughout the world on various cruise lines over the years. This was our fourth cruise with Viking; the previous cruises were in China, Egypt and the Grand European Tour. The Paris to the Swiss Alps Cruise started in Paris on July 20, 2019.
Our flight from Florida was arranged by Viking and flew through Frankfort, then to Paris. No ...
Literature was convincing and reviews were excellent.
On board dining was excellent and the service was just perfect.
Entertainment on board was interesting and informative.
Included tours were fantastic and the optional tours were even better, we went on as many tours/excursions as we could. Usually two each day.
Tour guides that were used were very professional and had a great deal ...
We booked our cruise based on our own research and our travel agent’s recommendation. It’s not often that our entire vacation ends up being better than we hoped, but this trip truly was. From the time we got to the airport in Raleigh, NC to the time we returned there, everything was handled by Viking with exceptional results. Every detail was well thought out and expertly executed.
The staff ...
The cruise was the area we wanted to see. We loved Paris and the beauty of the Alps. Our cruise was great. The food was exceptional and the service by all the crew members was great. We enjoyed the scenery and most of the tours. We would recommend Viking to any of our friends. We felt everything was first class and everyone tried to be very helpful. The cruise was very relaxing. The ...
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary my husband and I went on the Paris to the Alps Viking Cruise and we had the time of our life. Everything was so well orchestrated and taken care of there were no worries for us. We were met at the airport in Paris by the Viking director Boris and he was there for us from the time we landed in Europe until we left the Kvasir for Switzerland. He took care of ...
It was time to spend with family. The travel consultant we booked with suddenly disappeared soon after our reservation was made, and we seemed to get lost in the shuffle. Our file was turned over to "Customer Service", so the only time we received future information was if we called to ask a question. A few days before our departure, I had read on the internet that Viking was having issues with ...
We had never seen this part of Europe and wanted to see it. We were met at the airport in Zurich by the Viking representative and had a nice drive to Lucerne, where we stayed for 3 days prior to embarking in Basel. Lucerne was delightful, we stayed at the Hotel Schweizerhof, a deluxe hotel by the lake and by the chapel bridge. Viking guides there were excellent, Jacqueline showed us Lucerne ...
Disappointed. Exhausted. These are just two of the takeaways from my journey along the Rhine River aboard the Viking Kvasir and Viking Idi. About a week before our cruise, we were emailed that low river levels may necessitate changes to our itinerary. Once we were on the ship, the decision to deviate became more certain because of the low river levels. According to all of the information we ...
From our pre cruise stay in Amsterdam through our post cruise extension in Lucerne, Viking took care of our needs and logistics superbly. Every effort was made to insure our trip was above expectations. With the low water levels on the Rhine, our captain expertly navigated the River. A slight adjustment was made to our itinerary in Heidelberg to allow the captain to take advantage of tides and ...
