Viking Gefjon Cruise Reviews

I loved the itinerary and the viking Ve was well rated. We were forced to change ships midway because of water levels. Bus ride because of traffic took 6 hours. On the Ve food and service was excellent. I have an allergy to nuts, after one day word got around and I never had to mention it again. In fairness we were I'm the Explorer suite so i don't know if everyone got this treatment. On the ...

We arrived in Budapest to begin what was for us an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks aboard the Viking Gefjon en-route to Amsterdam. This was our first river cruise and we vowed that we would do it again. The food, accommodations and service were all excellent as was that of our tour director. All of the guided tours and available upgrade tours were well planned and offered a variety of cultural and ...

We choose this cruise due to friends' recommendations. We were so very impressed with the service, arrangements, and how well Viking managed the cruise. Flying into a foreign country where you do not know the language can cause anxiety, but a Viking representative was right there at baggage claim to help us with the entire process. All "issues" during the cruise, such as COVID testing and ship ...

Members of AAA wanted to revisit a few places we had been separately before we were married more than 40 years ago. We chose the grand European Tour as this would not only give us the time we wanted to refresh our memories and have opportunities to visit new places where neither of us had ever been. The excursions offered an extra special opportunity to walk around the town and learn so much ...

I've wanted to do a river cruise for some time but wasn't sure about what cruise line would have the cities, the excursions or the tour & amenities I was interested in. I did a lot of research, both on-line & at my AAA office. After talking with a AAA representative, comparing all River Cruise Tours & reading comments from passengers, Viking came out as the best one! I was interested in visiting ...

Chose for the itinerary - Netherlands and Belgium. The shore excursions were selected with a broad range of interests and excellent opportunities for self education. Sometimes we were within walking distance of the town. If not, transportation was comfortable and convenient. Our guides were knowledgeable and often very entertaining. We particularly enjoyed the full day excursion to Floriade which ...

We had originally planned this trip for April 2020. Covid happened and rather than ask for our money back, Viking gave us 125% of the value of our cruise for future travel. We opted for 2022, thinking 2021 might be too early. Good call on our part. We used the bonus Viking gave us to upgrade our room to an AA suite. My husband is 6'7", so the extra room was great. All the stops were ...

Because of Covid, this was the 3rd time we scheduled this cruise. We were elated to be able to travel with Viking again. Because the 1st cruise was cancelled, we were given the option to get our money back or accept a 25% voucher if we rescheduled for a later date, which is what we decided to do. It was a generous offer and we never regretted it. The additional funds allowed us to travel to ...

Friends advised us that this was a great trip. We found the crew extremely attentive. Food was delightful, particularly the soups and pastries. Breakfasts were very good. We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of wines. Included excursions were more than adequate for our needs. The lounge staff were wonderful and the selections were great. We met what will be forever friends on the trip and have ...

We tried to take a river cruise in the summer of 2021 after several of our planned trips were cancelled. I really didn't believe until the last minute that this cruise would be a "go" due to Covid. Luckily Hungary just allowed Americans to enter the country for a cruise. Our trip ended in the Netherlands just before that country closed its doors to Americans. We were really lucky.When we first ...
