River Cruises Reviews

We loved this Viking River Cruise! All the tour guides were super knowledgeable about all the areas we explored. The food was excellent and the Staff was friendly and helpful. The Castles we saw on the Middle Rhine and the Black Forest region in Germany were the highlights. I also loved the little village of Barr near Strasbourg France. We did a Wine Tasting tour there. Our cabin was comfortable ...

This cruise was on our bucket list since both my wife's family and my family are from Austria. My father was from the Wachau wine growing area through which the cruise went (DURNSTEIN) and some of my wife's family came from Linz the starting and end point of the cruise. We have previously been on ocean cruises but this was our first river cruise so we were a bit nervous not knowing what to expect. ...

I'm a fan of PBS and have seen Viking commercials for years. When the opportunity to take a cruise came up, I immediately decided to look into Viking cruises. The trip far exceeded my expectations and I have already started planning on my next river cruise. The staff was extremely attentive, and I really liked that ships officers as well as staff were available throughout the day and ...

Reasons we chose this cruise: 1) we had a wedding in Madrid and the timing was perfect to follow up with this cruise 2) I had visited Porto in the past and I wanted my husband to see one of my favorite cities 3) River cruises are the best of both worlds. We have sailed with Emerald three times before and never disappointed. The staff on the Emerald were fantastic in all respects. The ...

We wanted to see this part of the world was the reason we chose this cruise We have travelled with Scenic before and they never disappoint. Their ships are modern, have plenty of space in the dining and lounge areas and upper deck where you can relax and watch the world go by. Great ships, staff and crew who go over and beyond for their passengers. All crew are professional and friendly ...

This cruise was our retirement gift to each other. We had been looking at Viking for several years, and decided this was the best riverboat cruise line for us. We did put this off a couple of years to make sure that Covid would not interfere. We were not disappointed at all. The crew was the best and were very attentive to our needs and those of the other passengers. Kalin, our cruise ...

This is my 8th river cruise with Viking. Obviously, I do love the Viking experiences. I did discover on this trip that I do not particularly like staying in hotels before and after the cruise simply because there is too much loading and unloading of suitcases. That, of course, is just a person preference. The hotels were fine, although the Hilton in Prague was somewhat removed, resulting in our ...

I loved this cruise! I've taken several cruises on American Cruise Lines and I always enjoy them so much! I am so impressed by the crew on these boats. Everyone is so cheerful and happy to do anything you ask. The staff in the dining room is amazing, as is the food. If I ask for anything special or different there is nothing they won't do for you. I wanted sugar free desserts, which weren't on ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to try river cruising, and Viking struck me as the company to go with given the recommendations of friends, and my research. It was one of the best vacations ever. We were 18 friends altogether on the cruise. Our staterooms were spotless and luxurious. Imagine having heated bathroom floors, plenty of storage space, no-fog mirrors, and a glass-enclosed shower ...

We really enjoyed the cruise. Great service on the ship as well as the transfers. The destinations were nice. Favorite was the pre cruise stay at Lake Lucerne. Food quality and service were outstanding. Really enjoyed the staff. In particular Will, Stan and Emil. We booked late and the only cabin available was on the first level which provides a very minimal view. However the cabin was small but ...
