River Cruises Reviews

Viking does an incredible job making sure that all of your needs are met. The crew is extremely attentive, the food is incredible and the accommodations are outstanding. It's so nice to unpack once and be taken to so many amazing places. I have taken two Viking river cruises now and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in wanting to travel this way. I did enjoy the included 2-3 hour ...

This was our first Viking river cruise and it certainly won't be our last! My wife and I were one of the few Viking "rookies" on board. Everyone we met had already cruised with Viking several times and we met people a number of people that had cruised with Viking 10+ times. We were looking for a quiet destination and the Bordeaux cruise definitely provided that. There were only 2-3 other ...

The crew on Viking Egil was top notch! Everyone from the captain to the waiters and waitresses was fantastic. The cruise itinerary was great…we started in Budapest, sailed to Vienna, then Krems (Austria), then Passau, Germany. The water level was too low to make it to our final stop (Regensburg), but in true Viking style, they re-organized everything so that we made it to Regensburg (by bus with ...

I had been wanting to take a Viking River cruise, because of smaller numbers of people. Also, I love visiting European cities. The food, the guides, everything ran smoothly and exceeded my expectations. The hosts, wait staff, housekeeping, were all on top of their game. One of my favorite parts was the day we were cruising in the Wachau Valley, incredible views from the top of the ...

This was our first river cruise and the experience was beyond expectation. The entire staff obviously love what they do and it reflects in the experience my husband and I received. From the moment we stepped on board, check in was smooth, our cabins were immaculate and well appointed as was the entire ship. The dining experience, from the quality of the food, the wine and the staff was five ...

This cruise had an emphasis on classical music, with concerts on and off the ship, tours of composers' houses and related museums etc. We combined it with a pre-cruise land portion - 3 nights in Prague at the Hilton Old Town. The cruise started in Vienna, sailed west as far as Linz, then retraced its route and went past Vienna to end in Budapest. It's a bit of an unusual route but suited us. ...

Our son and his wife sailed with Viking last year. They rave about all aspects and have actually booked the Mediterranean Cruise in the future. This would be a new experience for us and we were not disappointed at all. The ship is pristine, the crew and serve staff are warm, energetic and make every wish happen. The tours are fun and informative. I especially enjoyed the trip up the Rhine in the ...

We chose this cruise after doing a Viking Rhine cruise in 2022. Everything about this was fabulous. Viking is very demanding of their local guides and did not disappoint. Accommodations on the boat were great. The staff from the housekeeping to waiters to bar service were fantastic. Program/Entertainment Director Chris was top notch. The food and drinks were also of the highest quality and ...

Wanted to try a river cruise. Very nice . Crew was great, food was good and cabin very nice, extension in Basel wasn't worth the money and in the hotel we didn't have any drawers Not happy about that. Erick was great as our host in Hotel. Elizabeth was super on the ship. Would definitely go on another river cruise. Walking tours were rough on us as we are in our 80's but we survived. ...

We chose Vikings Rhine River getaway for our’s first experience on a long boat cruise. Viking was offering special deals so we chose this itinerary to explore. Cruising this region at the end on June was perfect. We had beautiful weather which was very fortunate.Viking offers an included excursion at each stop. We found the local guides to be exceptionally good at explaining the culture and ...
