Viking Lif Cruise Reviews

This was our first river cruise. Everything went well. We were happy with the shore excursions except for the one in Budapest wherein we wasted so much time on waiting for toilet break for some and have to wait in the toilet premises. Room was always clean. Enough time should be allotted to shopping rather than rushing everyone. Emil and Allesandro from the Dining were great. Gabriel was ...

We were interested in an area of the world where we had limited experience. Well organized, extremely competent staff and smooth operation. We enjoyed the excursions, the food and the professional, genial staff. Rooms were clean, well designed and comfortable. Public spaces inside and out were spotless and appealing. The cruise director was outstanding, personable and, remarkably, knew our ...

We were aware of Vikings reputation for quite some time.(we're not typically cruise people). To say that they far surpassed our expectations is an understatement. The accomodations, service and itinerary were exceptional. (We did book a Veranda Suite, since I am 2 meters tall.) We whole heartedly recommend this cruise. The staff is super attentive to your every need and anticipates these, often ...

A teacher-friend and I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the added perks Viking offered at the time we booked. My friend had been on an ocean cruise previously; I had traveled extensively in Europe and Asia, but had not been on a cruise. It was such a fun trip!! We met so many fun and interesting people, both fellow travelers and staff! A river cruise involves a smaller boat, thus ...

We chose this cruise, primarily, because it was a Viking River Cruise. Two years ago we had chosen the cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg. This was cancelled (and rescheduled) due to lockdown but was eventually cancelled as a result of the war Russia was waging in the Ukraine. Fortunately, we were able to exchange our cruise from that one to the cruise down the Danube. It went to places we had ...

I have been on two other Viking cruises and this was my third and longest, all in with after- trip, 3 weeks. As with the other two, I cannot say enough about our experience. Life-changing, excellent in every way. I cannot think of one thing, large or small, to find fault with. Wonderful crew (everyone), great ship, perfect stateroom, fantastic food and drink and amazing excursions. Once you go ...

We paid for this cruise in 2019 for April 2020. A couple of weeks before take-off, we cancelled and rescheduled for 2021. The cancellation was because of covid, of course. A month or so later, we cancelled the 2021 cruise and rescheduled for 2022. In the meantime, we were able to have family members join us for their first Viking River cruise! This was our second Viking River Cruise. Our ...

Wanted to see these East European countries, their castles, churches, people, geography, their stories and histories. wanted to have real face to face contact and interaction with local people. The results were wonderful. I got to see all these beautiful countries, their unique features, their languages, their own stories. Danube river was wonderful with beautiful sceneries, sunrise and ...

I chose this cruise because I like to go to destinations that not everyone goes to. This cruise was great. The ship was amazing and the staff were excellent. The food was terrific. The hotels that Viking put us in were top notch. I would highly recommend this cruise as well as the post extension to Brasov/Transylvania (if you are ending the trip in Romania). I did all the included excursions. I ...

The romantic Danube and Budapest was an immediate draw for us. It was a part of Europe with such history, culture and not that easy to visit in the past - prior to 2000. The excursions were wonderful, the crew helpful and very nice, the food excellent and the chef and maitre’d accommodated my dietary restrictions to the highest degree. There is so much to see and learn about in these Eastern ...
