We chose Viking because many of our friends had done their river cruises before and loved them. We chose this cruise because we had always wanted to visit Budapest, Vienna and (especially) Prague. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived in Prague, Viking staff took care of everything. An incredible, well-oiled machine.
The boat itself was wonderful, and once again, the Viking crew ...
We will be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year and really wanted to splurge on a fabulous trip. Due to concerns over low water levels last summer and fall, we opted to book our cruise in May. As Mother Nature decided to make up for her performance last year, we had nearly a solid week of cool temperatures and sometimes heavy rains. Several of the heavier downpours occurred during our ...
We chose Viking Amsterdam to Basel river cruise for two reasons - excellent reviews, and scheduling. We had a fixed time when we wanted to leave, and Viking had the best schedule that fit our needs. From the moment we arrived at the Amsterdam port with our luggage we experienced their great hospitality. Our luggage disappeared (greatfully) and we were assisted in boarding.
My wife had to walk ...
This Cruise offered an informative and relaxing exploration of the Rhine River. As always, the accommodations were comfortable and cleanliness was outstanding. Service provided in the Restaurant and Lounge was friendly, efficient and accommodating. Every meal was outstanding and we were pleased to select the local recommendations every night. The Silver Spirits beverage package is well worth the ...
Had never visited the interior of Europe. Viking provides an excellent way to see the wonderful landscape and scenic splendor. The Danube river winds through much of Europes rich history. The bridges that cross it, starting in Budapest, are magnificent. It is hard to imagine that these cities were treasured prizes of so many conquerers. The cruise ended in Passau which is a charming town that ...
I wanted a cruise with a small number of guests not a large cruise ship. Viking nailed it! The ship was modern and very well equipped. Just the right size for a relaxing vacation. The pre-cruise extension to Lake Como was well worth the extra money. I especially LOVED the special leisure tours because due to mobility issues we couldn't keep up with the other guides. Our leisure guides kept ...
Another wonderful Viking River Cruise. We chose this primarily to experience the stops on the Main and Moselle rivers and to explore Prague. We liked that the itinerary included 2 hotel nights at each end of a 7 night cruise. We extended at both ends for a full 3 days/4 nights each in Prague and Paris. A little more bus time on this river cruise compared to some others - primarily for the ...
We decided to try Scenic after seeing many episodes on the TV travel show "Getaway" focusing on their river cruises. We have done many ocean cruises but only 1 river cruise which was with Viking. The TV show certainly made it look much more desirable than it was in reality. The ship was lovely, well maintained with plenty of room both in the suites and around the ship. The butler service to all ...
We had been on three previous Viking River cruises and decided to try something different. We wanted to do two weeks in Italy and three days in Paris and three in Barcelona. The location and sailing date fit our schedule perfectly.
We were hauling our bags from the hotel when the crew spotted us a block from the boat, Several of them jogged up the block to greet us and help with the bags. It ...
I wanted to experience Berlin, so I chose this river cruise. We went into Berlin two days early. The history of this majestic city, with its impressive restoration, was certainly something I ll never forget. The Berlin at Night Viking tour was a gem. The cruise continued on the quiet Elbe, Wittenberg, Meissen and the stunning city of Dresden. Again, the restoration of this town destroyed in ...
