River Cruises Reviews

We arrived 2 days ahead of departure to explore Amsterdam. Beautiful city with very colourful houses and canals everywhere. Public transit was amazing-train station, subway streetcars and buses everywhere. The Royal Owner's Suite was incredible. Seating area, wine fridge, king size adjustable bed, walk-in closet, amazing bathroom with tub, double vanities, rain shower, balcony with roll-down ...

We delayed our cruise 4 times due to Covid and health issues so by the time we left on our cruise our expectations were very high. We did a pre-excursion in Lake Como. At every point Viking took care of us. The service on the boat, the program director (Emily) and every Viking city guide provided first in class service. We were impressed with everything and it was a vacation of a lifetime. You ...

Do you like 5 star luxury? Well scenic jewels of Europe is for you. Our trip started with business class flights from Melbourne to Budapest via Frankfurt. Once we were greeted and transported to our spaceship we were elevated into our new home for the next 2 weeks. We were on the diamond deck with a junior balcony suite, whilst the room was nicely appointed our balcony was partially obstructed by ...

We enjoyed our cruise so very much. It was outstanding from start to finish. We were treated so well by the staff. Rooms were very clean. Food was excellent . We enjoyed the variety of foods each day. We enjoyed the on board enrichment . Trips were all entertaining and well run. We saw so much of the beautiful scenery in all our port stops. We have bragged about how wonderful Viking is to ...

The cruise took in the countries we wanted to see. We did not realise how beautiful Germany and Austria are and how peaceful river cruising is. We had booked a deluxe balcony cabin which was a bit bigger than the balcony cabins. All of the staff were amazing and were happy to engage with the passengers. The captain and crew did some fantastic sailing in difficult conditions due to flooding we ...

This is the first time we ever been on any cruise and it was great! Our dedicated telephone support person did a great job of our arranging our complete trip, including our flight to Europe 2 weeks early, to visit family. When we arrived at our embarkation port, there was a Viking rep at the hotel who showed us the way for the short walk to the brand new ship! Everything about ship was great, ...

We chose this cruise based upon the size of the ship. We wanted a smaller, cozier experience and this was exactly that. We got to know the staff, who were so accommodating and friendly. I only wished we'd have arrived a bit earlier to fight off jetlag and stayed a bit longer. I was disappointed that we did not get a chance to see the final city (Amsterdam) because we had to be whisked off the ...

I loved this particular cruise, my only complaint, it wasn't long enough! What I love about my Scenic experience is how pampered and relaxed I feel with every aspect of the cruising experience. From the moment I arrive on the dock and my luggage is taken from me until I depart for my final destination on the last morning I don't have to think of a single thing and yet everything I could ...

Learned a lot of history from the lectures. The excursions were fantastic. The service was beyond amazing the people working this cruise made it absolutely one of the most fun and lively vacations ever! So enjoyable from the service perspective; kudos to the program director and the bar chief, the maitre d', the guest services people and housekeeping and service staff, everyone worked really hard ...

As a student of viticulture, this cruise took me from one wine region to another with guided tours of wineries with several wine varietals. We even had a guest wine make on board who brought his own wines for us to taste. The beauty of our stops were magnificent. The highlight of the cruise was coming across an unplanned event, a Wine Festival in the beautiful town of Cochem Germany. We had ...
