Superb itinerary, great service, amazing food and high attention to detail. Everything a traveler could want.
"The ship was spotless with every amenity from shoehorns to shower caps.There is little ship entertainment - a musical performance and a guest lecturer - no movies or TV shows although news channels are provided...."Read More

Went with friends but little did we know it should have been called the Grand Bus Tour! Also take note about the Free Air Fare. We optioned for the Premium Economy Seats and paid 3 months in advance but guess what. We got bumped and Viking is now refusing to take any calls. Had to switch boats out in a cow pasture the mooring spots aren’t what you see in the commercials. More of a field or an ...

We chose this cruise because we had done the Rhine Getaway and wanted an extended time through Hungary and Austria. We did a pre-cruise in Budapest to recover from jet lag and enjoyed browsing Central Market and touring the Jewish Synagogue. We did several included excursions on our cruise and three optional excursions…the best one was the barge tour in Kinderdyjk, Amsterdam to visit a working ...

My best friend of 60 years and I decided to take this cruise at the recommendation of her daughter and it was truly amazing! However, we did NOT get started on the "best foot". Our ship, The Ve was in dry dock when we arrived in Amsterdam with "maintenance issues". We were supposed to be able to embark on our ship at 12:30 p.m. and all throughout the day, we were "updated" with various times, ...

Everything about the cruise — the ship, the food, the crew, the stateroom, the tour guides — was top notch. The food options were varied and everything was delicious! I felt pampered and it was a very relaxing experience. The tours at the ports were fantastic and led by very knowledgeable and personable professional guides. I learned a lot about WWII history from the guides in Germany. It ...

This was our first river cruise and we wanted it to be safe and fun. That is why we chose Viking because of their stellar reputation. We initially booked this cruise before the Covid lockdown but the two-year wait was worth it. We'll definitely book another Viking sea or river cruise. The ship's crew were professional and delightful to be around. Each evening the the Cruise Director would map ...

I choose this trip because I was invited. The food and service was too notch, and the excursions were very informative. While on the ship, I can say it got pretty boring. There is little to nothing to do other than sit and read or talk to people (which was nice), but you can only do that so many hours a day. It was disappointing to learn - 4 or 5 days into the cruise - that the sun deck was going ...

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and had never been on a river cruise before. The itinerary from Budapest to Amsterdam covered territory we had never seen and we had heard good things about Viking. They did not disappoint! Viking hospitality was perfect and the way Viking handled logistics was perfect as well. Their people met us at the airport...at the hotel...got us everything ...

We chose this cruise because Viking offered a pre cruise to Prague at no additional cost. Prague was wonderful. The bus trip to Budapest was uneventful. Our short stay in Budapest was way to short but on we go. The ship and the food were great. I think one of the most memorable stops on the river was the Abbey in Melk. Wonderful tour guide and extraordinary facilities. Another highlight for ...

We have wanted to take a river cruise for a long time. My husband retired this year. He has never been to Europe. There was a party of 7 with our group. The cruise was awesome, Sometimes felts a little rushed on the included excursions and wish there had been more time for shopping. But all in all it was awesome. The ship crew was out of this world and made the trip amazing. ...
