Europe River Cruise Reviews

Early misgivings over what to expect from recent reviews were dismissed as soon as we got to the Mayflower Cruise Terminal, boarding was seamless, from check in to a glass in hand was just 20 minutes, Our Deluxe Cabin starboard/aft was large with an extended non overlooked balcony. it was clean spacious with a lovely touch of Champagne and Chocolates, a welcome return of dressing gowns and ...

We had some non-refundable cruise credits that were about to expire so we booked this short Easter cruise - with some trepidation. We'd only done a couple of very short/overnight trips in the past and were concerned that this one might be a bit of a party ship which, at our age, might be a bit overpowering. Actually it went surprisingly well! We had a full ship with its usual share of hen parties, ...

This is our 1st river cruise and we really enjoyed it. The crews were great, friendly and organized. They were very helpful and always smiling. Viking knows what they are doing. From the time you landed in the airport to start your tour to the time you are ready to fly out after your tour, there’s a Viking representative to help you find your way and to prevent any problems. The tours, ...

The ship’s crew and the tour guides are helpful, friendly courteous and receptive to all your needs. Included tours are great and the phase is relaxed. I just wish a better entertainment after dinner is available not just a piano music but some kind of show like magic, stand up comedy or a singer or dancer (it doesn’t have to be famous). For all day refreshments, sodas like coke or Pepsi should be ...

Friendly, attentive, & professional crew worked very hard. Veranda room was nice with the huge windows, but we won't get that again due to the noises from on deck above. Someone was moving chairs up there, so we couldn't sleep. We could even hear footsteps... sounded like someone in heels. The only real disappointment was the paid excursion of Paris, where we were on the bus so much we never got ...

We very much enjoyed our pre-cruise time in Paris and the entire river cruise. Mia, the Cruise Director, was awesome! She was so much fun and informative and 'real'! We really enjoyed ourselves and like the included daily excursions and the paid excursions as well. We love how organized and on time everything is. The housekeeping staff was hard working and efficient and we appreciated their ...

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about our cruise with Viking. The staff provided the best possible hospitality. The food was amazing. Everything was always clean and we were kept well informed on a daily basis. The guides for our show excursions were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. So, why did I rate the cruise at only 4 of 5 stars? Our add-on time in Vienna was darkened by ...

Another superb cruise on the Azamara Quest, we were in a club continent suite this time as the bathroom in a veranda room is very small , our suite was very nice lots of storage and we were able to put the suitcases under the bed. The company has changed hands since our last voyage and it is noticeable in the cuts they are making considering the guests on board we’re 54% return cruisers they ...

The river cruise itself was good, except we could not use the upper deck. First because it rained a little, which we expected, but with the coming of all the low bridges and locks the upper deck was unavailable the majority of the time. Because of this I would not recommend this particular river cruise. The customer service before our trip was not my expected Viking experience. I never received ...

I went on this cruise with relatives who were celebrating a big anniversary and I was in a solo studio. This was my first time on the Epic and I had a great cruise but my experience was likely very different from others who sailed on this ship recently. Reasons for this may be because this cruise had fewer people on it than others recently and it seemed as though there was a lot of new staff. I ...
