We went on this cruise with 2 other couples and planned it over a year in advance. So we had lot's of time to research.

Viking did an amazing job from start to finish, from the airline arrangements, airport greeting & transfers, welcome greeting, onboard updates from our Cruise Director Casper, bus transfer arrangements along the river so we did not have to change ships due to the high water levels, hotel to airport transfer in Budapest, Viking representative at Budapest to help us get to the front of a very long check in line and made sure we got from the check in to the security line.

We did a 1.5 hour Viking guided tour in Amsterdam then spent about another 4 hours do a canal tour and self walking tour in the same area.

Cabin Review

French Balcony

Adequate, comfortable, quiet. Sufficient space, great shower with heated floors. Towels were wonderful. Mini bar fridge available. Hair dryer in the room. A safe for your valuables. Large closet and ample room to store your suitcase under the bed.

Our housekeeper Anna did a great job and even provided some decorations.
