I traveled with 3 of my friends. We chose this cruise because we were able to visit 4 countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. We spent 2 days in Hungary, 1 day in Slovakia, 3 days in Austria and 1 day in Germany. We took all included excursions - Panoramic Budapest, Panoramic Bratislava, Panoramic Vienna, Gottweig Abby,Linz Walking Tour and Passau Walking Tour. Tour Guides were very ...
We booked this vacation, because we were interested in seeing another part of France and learning more about wine. This cruise fulfilled that. I was pleased with tour guides. They were well informed, polite and happy to answer our questions. I enjoyed the little surprises, such as having the ship’s crew show up at the Chateau dinner, and oysters with wine at the Chef market outing. The ...
Sailing with Avalon definitely was the perfect experience. Making new friends during cocktail hour and dining with them provided us with the ultimate opportunity to learn from friends in other countries. This cruise provided an extra night in Amsterdam and allowed us to visit both Keukenhof Gardens and the Anne Frank House (pre-plan 6 weeks prior as tickets are limited.)
We upgraded our cabin ...
This is the second time my wife and I took this cruise on the Viking Forseti. We were on one of the original voyages back in April 2014 and said then that this is the only vacation trip we would ever do twice. The boat and crew are fabulous. The food and wine are terrific. The excursions are unbelievably educational, entertaining and delicious. The fact that only adults are allowed on board is ...
Lovely ship, cabin and communal spaces. Built some ten years ago but typical of Viking the maintenance and cleanliness is excellent. Very workable shower. With but few exceptions, the staff made it easy, relaxing and pleasurable. The cruise itself was almost a non event and even with the full itinerary, the distance travelled is minimal but nonetheless, the area and the chateau visits were ...
This was our first Viking cruise and first river cruise. From booking to our send off, everything was amazing. The Viking staff could not have done more. They live their values and maintained the highest standards. They accommodated my allergies and ensured accessibility for all passengers. Even when the weather turned nasty, they made adjustments. Every port was convenient. Their guidance was ...
As the youngest couple of our group, we enjoyed this cruise because there were a lot of walking tours and other type of tours available for each stop. We had down time to explore the cities on our own and we enjoyed it. We did the pre and post extensions and they were worth it. A lot of freedom during those times. We also enjoyed the drink package offered with a variety of drinks to try from. I ...
Viking is an amazing River cruise company. They take care of you every step of the journey. From getting the flights, notifying you of any and all changes. They pick you up from the airport and provide the transportation each day. They have an included tour each day and also have other excursions available for a fee. The food is delicious and they offer different options for each meal. There are ...
I was part of a large group of 20+ people who scheduled a Rhine River cruise. Our ship was the Viking Eir, beginning in Amsterdam and ending in Basal. There are so many reasons why the experience was so good beginning with our beautiful ship, comfort stateroom, and lively passage, but the care and concern of the staff is what made the experience memorable. From Michael in the dinning room, our ...
I got a great deal on this cruise and Viking has been on my bucket list so we went. It was a fabulous trip and we plan to take another. I can't say enough about the excellent service from everyone we encountered. The ship was very clean. getting on and off for excursions and just to head into town was SO easy. The included walking tours are a very nice touch and we enjoyed them. Some guides are ...
