We chose this cruise because of the location- Prague to Budapest- and because 3 couples from different areas of US wanted to experience a trip together. Our hotels were located near sites and public transportation. There was a long and then rushed bus ride from Prague to Passat but then we boarded and the adventure continued! Wait staff was first rate- always ready to meet our needs. The cruise through Wachau Valley and the locks was amazing. The food was outstanding-and varied. The wines were excellent and varied. Beer list was lacking but our hubby are Craft beer drinkers. Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen/ esp Parliament at night! We did a night cruise just to enjoy at night. Hotel in Budapest had views of Palace lights at night. A Viking agent transported us to airport- another agent met us at the curb and walked us through check in and to security. I’ve already booked my next Viking cruise.
