First time to try a river cruise and Viking, that's why we chose this cruise. We heard all the good reviews, were excited to try the #1 cruise line. We booked five cabins for ten people. Loved the ease of planning with airfare and airport transfers included. Everything was well coordinated, which contributed to a great peace of mind.
The cruise felt more personal as it was a smaller crowd, our ...
We wanted to see Budapest and this cruise fit our bill. The Viking rep was so helpful she put us in the same room as our last cruise so my husband who has dementia would be familiar with the rooms location. The cabin(veranda) is big enough since we do not spend a lot of time there. My husband loves the shower gel and shampoo, and our room steward was so helpful with making sure she put all his ...
The intimate size, excursions, and ports of call were all second to none. Viking's reputation was excellent. Every detail was organized like an elegant ballet! The food was exceptional, at every meal, and diverse! The staff could not have been more attentive, and professional at all times and gave personal one-to-one attention. The cabin exceeded our expectations. Very roomy, the bed was ...
I was pleasantly surprised with the amputation of light that the boat has. When I walked in, I was impressed by the big entrance with skylights that made the reception area seem bigger. The crew was very delightful and the cruise director was very on top of her game always willing to help and tell stories. Her talks were very informative and educational. I didn’t particularly like my cabin as it ...
Wanted a small ship experience and liked the route this one took. Unfortunately the weather on our trip was atrocious. We had maybe 5 hours of sun during the entire time. Not only rainy, but very cold and windy. We were prepared for temperatures in the 50's but not this. Of course this was not Viking's fault but it put a damper on all the excursions. As far as excursions, the ones that ...
Originally chose this cruise based on the itinerary. I had never cruised with Viking before, but I have cruised with other companies.
Quick rundown: Wine, beer, and soda included with lunch and dinner, excellent regional dishes as well as foods that are always available. You can bring alcohol on board and they will open and serve it for you without charging you to do so. On land, there is ...
We chose Viking after talking to friends and comparing cruise lines to our needs. It was very enjoyable to have all the arrangements made and Viking staff assisting every step of the journey. Unpacking and coming home to our comfortable room and bed each day was very pleasant and our room steward was so pleasant. Every day was a new city, new local meal specialties, excellent tour guides, and ...
This is the perfect way to travel to foreign destinations, especially for the first time. From the very start, everything was perfect. The Viking travel agent coordinated everything flawlessly for all 6 travelers. We all traveled together at every point.
Excursions were excellent. Be sure and save time to explore on your own. The tour guides were amazing, very knowledgeable. We love the ...
The Rhine River cruise is our second Viking Cruise. We previously enjoyed the Danube Waltz. We appreciate the Viking experience due to the great customer service from beginning to end. Viking can't change any particular airport experience, but they certainly do all they can to make the experience LESS stressful, and we appreciate that. Once on the ship they make you feel like an honored guest. ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary and it exceeded my expectations. The service was exceptional.
The excursions were better than we expected and the group size was always manageable. Sometimes even as small as four. The excursions were extremely well organized and the program director ensured all passengers knew when and where they needed to be at all times. I could always hear the guides ...
