1) The agenda for the land excursions are less interesting compared to my river cruise to Normandy 4 months ago. For example,
- Black Forest land excursion is a shopping tour that must be changed. We were driven for 2 hours to 3 shops selling merchandises. It was good that there was a hike up the waterfall (to save the day). It took another 2 hours drive to return to the ship. Recommend to ...
We had always wanted to go on a European river cruise. The Rhine River itinerary was perfect. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful historic cities. The day spent floating down the Rhine was exceptional. See the many castles and hearing about their history was a once in a life time opportunity. Our excursions were enjoyable and informative. All of our guides were very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed ...
From the time we first set foot on the ship to check in to the time we left at our final destination it was a first class experience. The room was a French balcony with plenty of space and great views. Didn't need power converters since they have multiple USB post for charging electronics. The food was worth the full cruise price on its own. The food was so good we felt that food based excursions ...
We had taken a Viking River Cruise a few years ago so knew that we would be getting an excellent experience. We were not disappointed. The scenery along the river was gorgeous, the cities quite interesting, the food excellent and the accommodations very comfortable. We had the lowest category of stateroom, and we really didn't need anything more. A balcony room might be nice in warm weather, but ...
This was the first sailing after lockdown. I have always wanted to try river cruising since I first retired 10 years ago.
Now there is no going back!. I am an experienced traveller and have taken many group tours. This was wonderful from beginning to end. You are picked up at the airport and taken to the ship. I had a French balcony room. It was beautiful, unfortunately my roommate would not ...
This was the virgin voyage for the Lofn after the 2020 pandemic lockdown. The crew had to quarantine prior to our departure for 14 days. Getting into Hungary for our departure was touch and go (because of Covid), but Viking came through with necessary documents that allowed us to enter. I shouldn’t have worried… Breezing through customs with the Viking provided paperwork was easy-peasy and it ...
We have sailed with Viking previously, 2 ocean. We always wanted to do a river cruise. We were the 1st back for this particular itinerary. To say it was outstanding is an understatement. As always, service couldn't have been better, all precautions for health were taken, & then some.The ship has a sun deck equipped with tables and both sit up and lounge chairs. It also had a shuffleboard court and ...
We're delighted to learn that your river sailing exceeded expectations, Lynn, and appreciate you taking the time to detail your experience. We also thank you for taking the time to recognize...
We chose this cruise because we had been planning a river cruise for a fews years. Every time we booked one, my husband had an illness (a stroke for one thing) that prevented us from taking the trip. Last August we thought we would give it one more chance and since the international airfare was free and the late fall trips were on sale, we booked it and we were finally able to take this ...
The accommodations were excellent. The suite layout was very comfortable with everything needed for a comfortable cruise. The dining was exceptional. A nice variety of offerings with an excellent staff. The ship was fairly new so all amenities were in great condition. The time spent at each stop was just about perfect. The excursions were interesting and easy to get to and from with all travel ...
Four neighbor couples recommended a Viking cruise when I was considering a summer adventure. When I received a catalog for free airfare, I decided to book! I still had to pay extra being a solo traveler; so I reserved a lower cabin. I didn't book extra night(s) before or after the cruise. I used Viking Air Plus for $50 extra to reserve flights, convenient for me.
I missed seeing Amsterdam ...
