River Cruises Reviews

Been on many Viking river cruises and things have gone down such as food. Just disappointed also with some of the behaviors of passengers. Not your typical river cruise. It just has changed from even 2019. Maybe cutting corners after Covid. Crew was great as always. Some of the regular excursions such as Heidelberg are know paid excursions. Jeans t shirts and flip flops in dining room which was ...

We have taken 2 ocean cruises in the past. We didn't know what to expect on a river cruise. We had never heard of Scenic before. We booked the Charming Castles and Vineyards and will never travel with any other cruise line but Scenic. They exceeded our expectations. When they say luxury, they mean it. They also say to leave your wallet at home because you won't need to pay for anything ...

First time cruising on Viking. Love the smaller ship and intimate atmosphere. The small number of guests made it so easy to meet new people and get to know our hosts. The food and hospitality was top notch. The shore excursions offered a variety of levels which worked well for our group. More detail - the rooms were freshened up every day which was welcome and helped keep us ...

We wanted to visit as many countries as we could, and by traveling on the Rhine with Viking, we were able to experience four countries. From the moment we got to our boat we never had to do a thing again with our luggage, dinner plans or sightseeing. Everything was orchestrated to perfection. Viking has plenty of experience making the guest feel like they are number 1, and you truly can ...

Great cruise ship. We have sailed before and had a panoramic room which was wonderful. This time there were none available so we had a cabin on the lowest floor with no window. We found the room very small and claustrophobic, great as a single but not for a couple. Last time I lived just relaxing in the room literally watching the world go by but this time I couldn’t wait to leave the ...

First Avalon cruise was on Danube. We wanted to sail the Rhine. This sailing fit our plans, and we were able to work a week in France before and a week in Switzerland after. Compared to 18 Salt Water cruises, river cruises are very busy. Up for breakfast, the daily excursions, back for cocktail hour, cruise director itinerary for upcoming days, dinner, maybe entertainment, bed and start again ...

Boat: Jasper: Scenic Luxury River Cruise (Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam) a 5 star cruise! I want to know, who made up the daily menus? No one that is familiar with fine cuisine. Food will make or break a company. Mess up with food, and repeat customers will not return. This company needs hire a couple of trained Chefs to make up a decent modern menu and then train the kitchen staff ...

My husband and I had never cruised when relatives convinced us to join them on Viking's Rhine Get Away. Our experience was amazing. Without any effort on our part every need was met, day planned, meal presented, and fun experienced. We were met at the airport and guided to our ship. Our bags were taken care of and deposited in our suite. Everything was the highest quality and the staff was ...

If you are looking for a bucket list trip this is it. The longship was just lovely and we truly enjoyed our Veranda Suite and thought it was well worth the extra money. The staff are just amazing every single one of them. We met so many nice people and everyone was very friendly and welcoming to one another. All the shore excursions we took were very well done except the Cologne Walking Tour ...

This was our first-ever river cruise experience. We did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos about the experience so we felt pretty well prepared for the trip. What we found is most people's pros/cons experiences were pretty consistent with ours. Knowing what we know now we also would have planned our trip differently. I'll explain. This journey started in Budapest with one night ...
