I had always wanted to take a Viking cruise for my 60th birthday. It not only met, but exceeded my expectations. The cabin was comfortable and our cabin steward was amazing. Each day with the excursions our cruise director, Dominique would remind us to bring our voice boxes and the crew handed out bottled water. Each included excursion was interesting and showed us whatever port we were in. ...
A friend is a travel agent and she recommended the Viking. Because we are all over 60 with friends traveling together this cruise fits our needs. The ambiance is very important and the excursions as well. The Vikings provided all what we were looking for.
Except for the cabin that we feel a bit too small especially the bathroom/toilet.
We enjoyed the excursions and the point of interests. ...
Very comfortable ship, great shore excursions, excellent staff and wonderful food. Viking is simply outstanding! This was our first river cruise and we chose Viking because of its reputation. We were not disappointed. Having only about 185 passengers on board made getting acquainted easy. Unlike our ocean cruises, it was not "eat all day long". Instead the three meals served were wholesome, ...
This was for my honeymoon, and was my first cruise, so I didn't know what to expect. Here's what I got:
The ship was absolutely gorgeous! Well-appointed, always spotlessly clean, and nicer than a lot of land-based hotels I've stayed in. Our cabin was super-comfy and quiet for when we wanted time to ourselves.
The food was surprisingly great, both in the restaurant and on the Aquavit ...
I had heard good reports about Viking and I wanted to take a small ship for my first cruise. I didn't want a 3,000 to 5,000 passenger ship. I also wanted to see Europe and the Rhine. The service was excellent and extremely friendly. I enjoyed the silver spirits extra to pick my wine of any on the list. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was excellent and service was great. ...
This was my first time visiting Europe, we went on a girls trip with my sister, aunt, and mom and really enjoyed our time! The crew and employee's ran our trip and excursion like a well well oiled machine. Everything was extremely organized and very well done from pickup at the airport to arrival at each destination everything was on time and quite quick.
Friendly tour guides at each stop who ...
This was our first cruise and we could not have been more impressed. Everything Viking did was 1st Class. We loved the crew, food and excursions. The 3 wonderful meals a day were plenty but if you needed a snack, there was always cookies or muffins along with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. After dinner, there was some type entertainment every night. We were impressed with how the staff was able to ...
This was our first cruise and I was really surprised. I anticipated that it would be very nice but there simply wasn't anything that could be improved. The staff, meals, excursions were all excellent. It's a carefree way to get to see lots of places and be pampered all along the way. Everything was so professionally done. We really enjoyed it.
The ship was very clean and well kept. The cabins ...
Our accommodations were incredibly comfortable and the ship, along with its crew, made the whole experience a week-long welcome. Each meal was a new experience and the service was both gracious and friendly. Our travels in Europe had never taken us to the ports that we visited, so every shore excursion was a first.
We have taken cruises before, but always on large, ocean going ships with ...
This was our first River Cruise. We were not disappointed. We picked Viking because of the reviews that we had read. We were extremely satisfied with the ship, and the crew could not have been nicer. All the meals were great and the wine offerings were excellent. The wait staff was very attentive with our favorites being Benz and Ivo. A big thrill was being able to enter the Wheelhouse and ...
