Everything about this cruise was terrific! All the side trips as well as the included trips were excellent.
The only side trip to Amsterdam was disappointing as we were not told ahead of time that our guide was leaving us on our own for 4 hours. The description of the trip did not state this. We were also not able to visit the Peace Palace in The Hague which would have been nice to know ...
Some of my siblings and I were on this trip together. We all were able to plan our vacations to our skills and sites and yet get together every night for a "family" dinner. We celebrated 1 birthday and 2 wedding anniversaries on the trip. The staff was exceptional, they anticipate your every need. They take such good care of you, we felt like kings and queens. And will actually miss some of them. ...
This was our first river cruise (two single ladies) and we didn't know what to expect. The crew on the Modi were exceptional. The food was very good. Our only disappointment were the included excursions as they were all walking tours and took up a great deal of time especially when in the ports where we didn't have a great deal of time to spend. I would suggest they upgrade their included ...
We have wanted to do a river cruise for a long time. Viking was always on the top of the list of recommendations among friends and acquaintances. We were scheduled two years ago, but Covid changed those plans twice. For this cruise in September we were concerned about air travel with the stories out there most of the summer. We were also concerned about river levels. I joined a Facebook group ...
I chose this cruise because I had read a book through the Scholastic Book Club when I was in middle school about a teenage girl's experience in WWII Budapest surviving the Nazi occupation, then liberation by the Soviets, then living under Russian rule, her escape to France. I wanted to see Budapest, and the cities along the river, some of which were near where my ancestors had immigrated from 2 ...
We were very excited to do our first Viking River Cruise after having done fourteen previous river cruises on other cruise lines. It's fair to say that we have considerable experience with which to rate Viking compared to the competition. We were saddened to find that Vikings high price does not equate to a better cruise experience.
To start with, the problem with Viking does not directly ...
Thank you, Fast Alongside, for taking the time to share your experience with us. While in some European docking locations it is common to double berth and closures of the upper deck are...
We are Viking cruisers and went on this particular cruise with friends. To say we had a great time would not describe near enough the stellar experience we had on this trip. My husband had a few difficult days health wise and the staff was absolutely far and away beyond caring and efficient in helping him. The concierge recommended an on shore dr whom we visited and received excellent care. The ...
My husband retired during the worst part of the pandemic. We wanted to celebrate his retirement with a big trip and we researched different cruises. We loved what Viking offered and decided to book with them. We chose the 14 nIght Grand European Tour and we loved every minute of it. We began with extra days in Amsterdam and that was wonderful. We chose a time when the water level was low, but ...
We took this cruise to celebrate our 44th anniversary a little early. Everything about the cruise was first rate. The only hiccough we encountered was beyond Viking's control. The water on the river was low because of lack of rain and we had to switch boats in the middle of the cruise. The switch was handled very efficiently and no part of the itinerary was missed. We even had a chance to eat at a ...
This was originally booked in 2020 from Amsterdam to Budapest to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary but due to Covid-19 it was cancelled and rebooked to202. It was cancelled again and booked in 2022. And finally we got to sail in 2022 for our 52 anniversary. It was everything we expected and more. Going from Budapest to Amsterdam turned out to be great even though we were wanting to extend ...
