Not at all what I expected. Short daily excursions you were rushed through then herded back into the boat. Not nearly enough time to explore on one’s own or enjoy a coffee or a beer at a local cafe. At one of the Palace tours the garden viewing portion was missed completely due to time constraints to get us back on board. To simply be bored on the ship once we arrived back there. For 3 days ...

Every aspect of this trip was superb. The entire staff was as warm and welcoming as they were efficient in their work and dedicated to providing us with a great experience. Every meal was first rate with varied offerings and excellent friendly service. Our AA suite was roomy and comfortable and maintained with great care buy our steward Lucio. As 'gentle walkers' we were provided for on the ...
We were anxiously awaiting this cruise which we had postponed from 2020 to 2021 to 2022 due to Covid. We have watched the Viking videos of one of the most scenic itineraries; Budapest - Amsterdam. If anything, the videos undersold the beauty of the cities along the way and the stunning views along the river. The crew were incredible. Everyone seemed to make it their personal mission to ensure ...
Trip was absolutely amazing with pre-cruise excursion to Prague. We have taken aver 30 ocean cruises, but this was our first river cruise and Viking did not disappoint. Cruise was also referred to as the ABC (Another Big Castle/Church) Tour!
Our cause of stress was COVID testing, so I will discuss this first. Viking required us to have COVID test prior to boarding flight overseas. However, ...
The pace of a river cruise is sedate so that we had time to enjoy the countryside and fall colors as we sailed along. The city tour guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The weather was also a bonus. It went from a light mist in Holland to sunny and warm for the rest of the trip. Our extension to Prague was a special highlight.
The small ship river cruise was new to us. We were ...
We decided to go with Viking at the recommendation of a friend and were so glad we did. Despite the initial cost being higher than other cruise lines, the value was in the included excursions (all of which were first rate), wi-if, and wine and beer at meals. The food was far superior to any other line, including Celebrity and RCL. We opted to upgrade our beverage package to include cocktails ...
We took this cruise based on places it would stop and time year. We flew into our departure city Budapest three days early to sightsee the city. We stayed at the Hilton on Castle Hill so we were well acquainted with the hilly side of Budapest; so the Viking excursion was a recap of our previous sightseeing. Our embarkation went very smoothly, mainly due to arriving at a time when Viking buses were ...
We loved every moment of our time with Viking.
With our early arrival, we explored Budapest and found it a charming city with wonderful architecture. Our hotel was amazing. It was like a palace with its grand staircase and stained glass ceiling in the breakfast room. Absolutely beautiful.
While on board, we enjoyed the ship and it's activities. Our activities director was amazing. She ...

We have sailed with Viking previously, and like before, they didn't disappoint us. Viking pays particular attention to every detail. We were able to explore parts of Europe that we haven't visited before. The crew and staff were friendly and professional. The meals were exceptional, particularly the soups. We spoke to the chef telling him how good we thought the soups were. The chef smiled and ...
