We enjoyed the Danube River cruise which has been on our to-do list. We have been on Viking cuises before so we were already familiar with the level of services Viking provides. In general we are happy with our experience on Viking Schuman and the services that were provided by its crew throughout the cruise were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the fresh salad avaialbel everyday. On the day we disembarked Viking Schuman in Budapest we embarked on another cruise (Budapest to Bucharest) with Vantage. Though the Vantage ship (River Voyager) was a newer ship than Viking Schuman, Viking Schuman was better acoustically with almost no noise issues. However Vantage provided many more cultural connection events (live performances, dining at a local home and restaurants, visit to a local school, etc.) than Viking. We truly enjoy connecting with local culture and people. We hope that Viking will add more cultural connection events to its cruises.
Cabin has a good layout with plenty of storage spaces. Acoustically better than other cruise ships. Bathroom was fine but smaller than other river cruise ships we were on.
