Solid Gold Cruise

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

McQuade
6-10 Cruises • Age 80s

We had never been to Portugal, so this cruise seemed like a good way to learn about the country, its people, products, and history. We were not disappointed! We especially enjoyed all of the winery visits and port wine samplings! Program Director Radim was very knowledgeable about all things Portuguese, as well as details of each port of call along the Douro River. He was also in Madrid, where ...

Douro River Cruise

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

SaS78
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Our on-ship Torgil experience was up to Viking's usual excellent standard: the crew was professional, capable, incredibly courteous and simply fun. The food was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed these folks. The Torgil is a bit older and smaller than the long ships, which means less common area. This would not necessarily be a problem, but for the rain that precluded full use of the top level. ...

Nice, but I wouldn't do it again

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Being loyal Viking cruisers, we decided a Douro River cruise was in order. There were four in our party and this is our collective review of our cruise. We booked the pre-cruise extension but came in a day early and booked the room for the extra night ourselves. The Hotel Tivoli is nothing short of amazing and we were so glad we booked an extra night – we could have stayed there ...

Great first cruise

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

Bepobas
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We wanted to visit a place neither of us had been before. This sounded like an interesting itinerary. The food was excellent. Service was also excellent. Our time on the ship exceeded our expectations. Day trips were variable- programmed for the slowest in the group. I understand accommodating for people who are less able to walk distances, but it often felt like we were held back. We felt like ...

A beautiful adventure

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Viking maintained its expected excellent level of service in its Portugal's River of Gold cruise. The itinerary provided wonderful opportunities to learn about and explore the Duoro River region and to venture into Salamanca, Spain (and Santiago de Compostela, Spain on the post-trip). We visited cities, small towns, many wineries, markets and beautiful churches. We enjoyed and learned in all ...

Portugal

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

jjm2252
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

Portugal and Spain are the only two countries I haven't been to in Europe and I heard both were worth visiting. Truly loved Portugal, especially the people who know how to enjoy food and wine. Our Cruise Director was very informative and did a great job. Same with the Chef, Captain and all the staff and tour guides. I like how we visited with locals on our excursions which helped give us a real ...

Beautiful & Peaceful

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

victoriasecret
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Our first big trip since covid. (We were doing a cruise supposedly from Singapore to Hong Kong in February 2020. I say supposedly because Hong Kong closed down its port the day we got on the ship, our stops in Vietnam closed their ports as we were sailing). We started touring Portugal on our own, and then met up with Viking in Lisbon. My husband got food poisoning our 2nd night with Viking ...

We went on this cruise to celebrate our friend's 70th b-day, but Covid hit and we ended up celebrating her 72nd b-day. I didn't research the cruise at all so I didn't know what to expect, but I have never heard a bad review for Viking River Cruises before. You won't hear a bad one from me either! We had a simply wonderful time! Portugal is beautiful, the food is delicious, the people are ...

April 2022 - Spring Cruise on the Douro

April 2022 - My wife and I have been on numerous cruises (24+) throughout the world on various cruise lines over the years. This was our fifth river cruise on Viking. Our Douro River Cruise started in Lisbon, Portugal on April 4, 2022. We took the pre-cruise option. This was our first trip out of the USA since 2019. Our flight from Florida arrived a few days early so we could enjoy Lisbon ...

Enjoyable Cruise

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Torgil

topshamme
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

The crew, as always, were very attentive & helpful. My husband uses a wheelchair, & we know before starting, that he won’t be able to partake in all the excursions, but he likes being on the ship! The meals & wine were outstanding. We also did the pre-cruise extension in Madrid & the post-cruise extension Road to Santiago, which were very interesting. We’d been to Madrid before, so we wanted ...
