Viking Eir Cruise Reviews

Viking seems to have figured out how to have a nice, relaxing time, on board. The ship is beautiful, and the staff truly seems to take pride in it and their work. Everything was clean, food was delicious and service was wonderful. However, we signed up for this as a Christmas Market cruise and there was very little of that! At each port, we got off the ship and were (literally) marched miles ...

We wanted to experience Christmas in Switzerland, Germany and France along the Rhine River. We were not disappointed! I have never seen so many Christmas markets in my life! Excellent buying experience with great food and drink. We felt welcomed everywhere we went. The tours were interesting, but frequently unavailable due to capacity limits. Most of the tours were filled to capacity before we ...

We heard from former cruisers that this was a good river cruise so we wanted to experience the spirit of Christmas in Europe. The store decorations were fantastic! Christmas shops were also wonderful with a lot of handicraft and local specialty foods. Meals on the ship were great! different menu everyday and the servers were very attentive. We made great friendship on this cruise with two lovely ...

The ship, the service, the food were all outstanding. The passengers were friendly and compatible. Nothing gets one in the mood for Christmas like the Christmas Markets. This was our second voyage to visit European markets and we were looking forward to it. We enjoyed a pre cruise extension in Amsterdam but our first stop in Dordrecht was not festive. The town did not have much to offer ...

I chose this cruise for the small ship, castles and the Christmas markets. Our order at dinner was forgotten twice and we didn't have time to eat. I was extremely disappointed that the entire open section of the ship on the bow was closed the entire time we were on the cruise. I was certainly looking forward to that part of the trip. I know it was cold but it would have been a great view and ...

Always wanted to try a river cruise. Viking was having a tremendous sale so we booked the Rhine cruise. We heard all the rumors about river cruises being a much older crowd (we are in our 50s). This was true, however, we really enjoyed meeting everyone. Most of the guests had been on many cruises and were a wealth of information and recommendations. Things we liked about the Viking cruise ...

Gorgeous scenery, knowledgeable and delightful tour guides, amazing and delicious food, a variety of interesting excursions, a good balance between scheduled sites and free time — we had a delightful time and enjoyed every minute of being spoiled. Everything onboard and on any of the shore excursions worked like clockwork. Buses and guides were waiting for us. We never felt rushed. Our comfort and ...

My husband and I took the Rhine River Cruise (for a second time) in Early November. The service was incredible, specifically the Cruise Director, Emily. Her enthusiasm, attention to detail and professionalism was a highlight on our trip. Each stop along the Rhine brought us a new experience. The tour guides were informative and helpful. As this was not our first trip to the area, we often ...

The Viking experience is everything you would hope for and more. From the time we checked in effortlessly literally in minutes to our final departure, viking thinks of every detail and handles them exquisitely. All the meals on board were fabulous, even at lunch, and the complementary wine and beer at dinner and lunch didn't hurt either. Viking shows just the right ports in which to stop and the ...

We chose this cruise because we got to see 4 different countries including Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. We had a great trip. The crew, the service, the food, the ship, the weather was all fantastic. We met some great people. The Rhine is so beautiful. You get to see so many of the ancient castles on the cliffs overlooking the river. You go through eleven locks during the ...
