Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews

We booked this after our inaugural cruise on Prima was cancelled and pushed back due to supply chain issues last year. We did a similar style of cruise on Celebrity Apex instead. We love NCL and we really wanted to try their new ship class. We did the inaugural sailing of The Edge in 2018 and it was amazing to be first on these new inventive ships. I have to also say that we love NCL ...

Viking offered free airfare as an incentive the year prior. We had done one river cruise in Russia and enjoyed that immensely despite the ship being not quite up to today's standards. Our Program Director, Nancy Van Turnhout was so helpful in securing assistance with wheelchairs to some buses and our renting "Rickshaws" in Cologne, as I am disabled. We would not have been able to enjoy the cruise ...

We chose a shorter cruise (8 days) as we are first timers and were not sure what to expect. My husband had never been to Europe and we chose the Rhine as I thought it would give him a more varied landscape and cultural differences in the 4 countries visited. I get all the brochures in the mail, Tauck, Road Scholar, etc., and chose Viking due to their consistently high ratings. In short, we had ...

Our good friends invited us to join them on rhis river cruise and we’re so glad they did. The boat was beautiful, the crew was professional and caring, and I can honestly say it was all about the passengers for the entire cruise. The lounge was relaxing, the coffee station was always stocked with goodies, and the dining room accommodated everyone on board comfortably. The upper deck was a great ...

This cruise fit nicely into our schedule and offered us a link to friends we would visit in Capri following the end of the cruise. We were delighted by the variety of events - lectures, excursions, tours - offered as well as the first-class service aboard the Kvasir. The cuisine was excellent as was the dining service. The knowledgeable staff provided us with suggestions for amazing attractions to ...

We took the week-long ‘Dutch Delights’ cruise from Amsterdam and back, via the IJsellmeer inland sea and both large and small rivers. This ‘Generations’ cruise had several sizeable family groups with well-behaved kids, a change from the usual mix of retirees. We particularly enjoyed visiting the pretty small towns in Friesland and the rural far south of The Netherlands. Amsterdam is probably ...

This cruise was selected due to the Viking reputation and the free air fare promotion from Viking. We added the Lake Como pre cruise extension and the Amsterdam post cruise extension. The total for the trip was 14 days counting the overnight flight. Lake Como was incredible. It is beautiful and the food is great. On board the Viking Sigrun, everything ran smoothly. Our cabin was clean and ...

We had taken 3 Viking River Cruises in the past and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. After our July cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest ( Grand European Tour) we will never travel with Viking again. The main issue is that I believe that Viking knew at least a week before the start of the cruise that it was highly likely that we would have to swap ships and they deliberately ...

After completing our latest cruise which would be No 18, I personally believe this one to be the Best to date. Second sailing out of Liverpool on Borealis and this itinerary for Norway and the North Cape and the Midnight Sun just shades previous sailing. Boarding at Liverpool very smoothly done, in quick time. Cabin efficiently maintained by Beth, good welcome with a smile. All Inclusive bar ...

We had taken 3 Viking River Cruises in the past and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. After our July 2023 cruise we will never travel with Viking again. My main issue is that I believe that Viking knew at least a week before the start of the cruise that it was highly likely that we would have to swap ships and they deliberately avoided telling us. I contacted Viking 3 times ...
