River Cruises Reviews

Initially I was in contact with the agent and gave her some basic general ideas of what we would like and she came up with this one which included a variety of activities to suit different needs within our small family group. The ship far exceeded our expectations (which I thought were high anyway!) and all the activities were very well arranged and facilitated. The weather was not too good ...

We wanted to celebrate a late 50th anniversary (3years late). From the moment that Viking rep Leonardo began to help us last year, the process was easy. Because of limited mobility for my husband, Leonardo went over and beyond to help us with cabin suggestions, and other help. He was amazing. We were in the best location for being near the elevator and the restaurant. We wanted a veranda and ...

AmaWaterways was recommended by our travel consultant. We enjoyed the cruise very much - there were only 43 passengers on this sailing so we all received fabulous personal attention and the staff was very professional but it was a more relaxed atmosphere for everyone. We took the pre-cruise extension in Amsterdam which we would recommend. We did not take the post-cruise extension as we were ...

We actually got switched at the last minute to Viking VE ship but since they are identical it didn't matter. We totally enjoyed our 15 days on this Viking ship. The crew were exceptional in taking care of us. The food was unbelievable. I especially liked the regional choices every day so we got a taste of local food. We only did the included daily excursions which were excellent. Different ...

We've done many Viking cruises; this was one we hadn't yet done so Post-COVID, we were ready to get back to cruising. We had the misfortune to have our cruise start at the same time as the imminent arrival of Pope Francis in Lisbon for World Youth Day celebration. Viking notified us only a couple weeks before the cruise, but they had to have known this months in advance. The panoramic city bus ...

Heard so many good things about Viking cruises, decided to spend the money and take a 2 week grand European river cruise. When I arrived on board there was a strong mildew smell all over ship. The smell never dissipated, very strong in our room! We chose a balcony room. The room and all of the common areas were carpeted! Everyone knows carpet cannot be cleaned properly on a cruise ship. I have ...

This was our first cruise on Viking. We have sailed in the past on many a other cruise line but after sailing on Viking this summer I can definitely say that Viking sets the standard by which all cruise lines should be judged. The amenities, gourmet food, attention to detail, knowledgeable staff, and wonderful land excursions make a Viking cruise a most enjoyable experience. I was singularly ...

It was planned years ago but COVID came to view. Word of mouth that Viking cruises are nice and it’s very true. Ship was very clean, exceptional crew and very superb food. Been to other cruises, but food and beverages(local beers, white and red wines)were so far the best of all. Our pre and post cruise stopover was excellent. Onboard entertainment was excellent and outside tours were great(I ...

We loved the itinerary for this cruise and the stops were a good mix of small towns and large metropolitan cities. Every stop had excellent options to explore the area and our favorite stops were Regensburg and Vienna. Every crew member on the boat gave exceptional service. From the moment we stepped on the boat we were welcomed and given an overview. Food at each meal was delicious with many ...

We always wanted to sail on the beautiful “blue” Danube. We enjoy the rich history and culture of Europe opposed to going to resorts like Cancun and the like. We are not beach people. We took an excursion at every port. The guides were always very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We especially loved Salzburg. While in Salzburg we purchased a beautiful water color by a local artist. ...
