We cruised the Danube for our 30th Wedding Anniversary in April, 2018. We are an active couple in our low 50's and have traveled independently for many years. Viking's Danube Waltz 8 day River Cruise was a great alternative to ocean cruises (no seasickness). We found Viking to be the right level of "luxury" for us -- comfortable without a lot of frills we don't need or desire. It seemed to ...
This cruise was so so fabulous in every way. The itenerary was the most wonderful cities and the accommodations were 100% first rate.
The cruise staff on the Villi are excellent, From the cruise director Gary to Martin to Marta , they were so friendly and treated us like guest and even family at times. The food and excursions were the very best. We are preserved on another Viking cruise next ...
We have done many ocean cruises and did short (1 day) cruises on the Rhine River, and had thought for some time about trying a river cruise. When we finally got around to talking about it and doing it, we decided on the Grand European. Once we have flown from the US, we wanted to stay as long as possible. It turned out we were on the first trip of the season. The shopkeepers in all the towns ...
We found the commercials on T.V. to be very appealing and liked the idea of a river cruise. We investigated a few other companies that offered river cruises but liked the offer made by Viking.
From the moment we set foot on the boat we received superb attention and treatment. What stood out for us was the trouble that Martin went to arrange for our boat to get to Vienna earlier than scheduled ...
I lived in Germany for 20 yrs. and was unable to tour these countries ! The cruise was very relaxing and not to much rushing around. The food was excellent and service great.the tours were also very interesting . I'm a little handicapped ,and my cabin was on the floor below reception and no elevator ! But everyone was helpful with the walker being taken up and down the stairs ,but it made me ...
We initially chose to cruise at Thanksgiving because Viking was offering great deals. But we quickly fell in love with the Christmas markets in each town and village. We picked up Christmas gifts of glass, and wood and ceramics. We drank way too much gluwein and loved it.
There was a particularly good art museum in Lintz just off of the place where we docked.
We were also completely wowed by ...
Spent 3 days in Prague and got to know the city; shuttle busses allowed independent exploration; took the provided 41/2 mile walking tour and although she moved fast she did try to accommodate my difficulty walking fast and up/down stairs. Wanted to explore the countries we visited. Great ports and activities, but tour guides for the "slow walkers" had no mercy and most of them just moved way too ...
Friends of ours went on a Viking River Cruise. I was concerned about getting sea sick but they assured me that I would be fine and I was. We were picked up at Airport and delivered to Airport after our trip. Never did we feel unsafe because the people on the ship told us what to beware of and we were given a card with ship info to carry with us in case we got lost while exploring on our own. I ...
We chose this cruise because it took us to places we wouldn't have otherwise visited and we knew we would be spoiled and treated well. Well, it wouldn't be enough to say we received what we expected... the food and drink is incredible, tons of it and all quality.
The service is spectacular and everyone tries their very best to make your day the best it can possibly be. They provide daily ...
