Viking was an amazing company to deal with from the initial booking conversation to the follow up phone call after the cruise. The service was impeccable from start to finish. We did a pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam and a post cruise stay in Prague and were pleasantly surprised at the constant access we had to Viking hosts to answer any questions and give us suggestions to maximize our stay. We ...
Wanted to go from Amsterdam to Budapest. The whole experience was great. We didn’t get to Amsterdam early enough to take in the sights which now was hind sight. The people on the ship with you were friendly. The restaurant was great looked forward to our meals, we had great company, Viking takes care of everything, the tours were all we needed to see everything they are well thought out. The ...
Just returned from 14-day Amsterdam to Budapest with 3-day Prague extension. I've done a lot of cruising, so was really looking forward to Viking's "superior" experience, and was really disappointed.
The ships' crews were great. FYI, if you're on the Modi or Skirnir, there's a broken lock on the Main, and they'll give you 48 hours notice on an "unfortunately" announcement about switching ships ...
Thank you, HeatherLynn702, for your kind words towards our staff and for taking the time to provide a detailed review of your recent Viking journey. Even still, your disappointment in our Air...
we traveled per recommendation of a friend. It was an excellent cruise except that there were too many old and inactive guests.Amenities were nice,,service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and courteous. The restaurant was adequate and the food was always fresh and well prepared.The band was very good but most people would disappear soon after dinner. I guess to bed. The excursions ...
We chose Viking at the last minute and it was the best thing we could have done; free air fare and from a smaller airport, great pricing and that was just the start. The onboard staff is incredible, you don’t know they’re there unless you need them and then they can’t do enough to make sure your every need is taken care of. Food and onboard entertainment was 1st cabin, always trying to match meals ...
Backgound: My wife (57) and I (60) travelled the Passage to Eastern Europe itinerary (Bucharest-Budapest) on the Viking Modi in April. While seasoned ocean cruise travelers, this was our first river cruise and inaugural trip with Viking. Eastern Europe appealed to us as neither had been to the five countries of the itinerary. We were both in the military stationed in Germany during the late 80s ...
My friend found this cruise for a great price. My wife had always wanted to do a European river cruise. We heard great things about Viking from others who had done one or more cruises. Nice, intimate (just the right number of passengers), well kept, well run ship. Very comfortable, clean lower cabin with all the amenities (make sure that after you have unpacked you store your suitcases under ...
We have been on 70+ ocean cruises and decided to try a river cruise due to the ports of call and the positive reports we had from friends on their Viking experience. Maybe we didn't do enough homework, but this trip was a total disappointment.
We booked the Explorer Suite for the Passages to Eastern Europe cruise (It was a special occasion). We also booked our business class air with Viking. ...
We appreciate you taking the time to share your review, travelingduo, as well as your recognition of our professional transfer service and pleasant pre-cruise experience. It is disappointing,...
I booked this cruise after seeing great ratings on cruise critic...We were bused everywhere and the ship was only used as a floating hotel....We only had One day of scenic cruising on Viking....We were told by the company that the problem was due to low water levels,however, senior offices advised that the bus trips have been ongoing since August....We were not given any opportunity to cancel the ...
A few days prior to our departure we were advised by Viking that the river levels were low and we might have to change ships, transfer from ship to ship by motor coach and might have to spend a night in a hotel. Sure enough this all took place. Our outstanding and very professional your director, Marie, accompanied us every step of the way. Viking did an excellent job under very adverse conditions ...
