River Cruises Reviews

I chose this cruise because it included Vienna and Budapest. The cruise lived up to my expectations. Tour guides are always well informed and amiable. Viking cruises are always extremely well run and this was no exception. the staff is wonderful, the food is great and the bartenders make great drinks. My one suggestion is that tours in towns with lots of cobblestone streets and hills need ...

Both of the Hotels we stayed at for our Pre and Post extentions were very nice. The Viking desk was a huge plus. The convenience of not carting your own luggage everywhere was so great! We love the cities that this cruise was stopping at, small but not too small, learned so much about the culture from the locals. All the charm, history and quaintness of what Europe is to us. The ...

We left from Porto for an 8 day cruise. Ines and Filipe were great, knowledgeable guides of the areas we visited. Filipe always did an announcement before we embarked for any tour (which we never saw on any of the cruises before) and he was so organized when it came to having people on the buses. The younger tour guide, Renata - needs some more training as to how to guide with the older and ...

We were wanting to go to Paris and got the flyer in the mail. Had only heard good things to say about Viking, so took a chance and booked in December. Unfortunately somehow we got connected with a travel agent out of Las Vegas. Once we paid in January never heard from her again. Luckily Viking 800 # was so helpful cause this was our first cruise and told us what to expect. Excursions were ...

I really enjoyed myself on the Viking cruise along the Danube. The smaller ship allowed me to get to know lots of my fellow passengers. The activities in the evening were terrific and increased the sense of community found on the smaller ships. I appreciated the special touches, like the Mozart chocolate that greeted us as we returned from our excursion in Vienna. I also was delighted to find ...

The itinerary and ports of Rhine cruise appealed to us the most. Our expectations were met and exceeded. The included excursions were all very informative and interesting, and the guides that we had were very good. I did two optional tours, the Marksburg Castle and the Colmar WWII museum and battle site. Both were very much worth the additional charge. The ship was always spotless and the whole ...

Choosing Avalon at the request of our travel agent proved to be a perfect choice for our vacation. This was our first rive cruise , and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the ship, crew, and experiences provided by Avalon. The ship was immaculate and spacious, with several public areas to enjoy with others or relaxing alone. Our stateroom was spacious and very comfortable, with a full size ...

We picked Viking because of the great online reviews and friends/family who did Viking River Cruises in the past and loved them. We had an amazing time, I would highly recommend Viking and this specific voyage to anyone. The customer service was excellent!! Our room was cleaned multiple times a day, we had the same housekeeper each day (Zori), and she kept the room tidy and spotless. She ...

I accompanied my daughter on the Grand European River cruise. She was so excited to see her dream destinations on this cruise, so this was the one. The cruise was fantastic! We loved the crew, they were so friendly and helpful. We were sad when they informed us half way through the cruise that the water level was too low and we would have to change ships. It was a very well executed transfer ...

Recommend by our travel agent, had an ideal of doing a Danube trip but not sure of which one or when to go. Absolutely the best holiday it was our first cruise and definitely won’t be our last. All the staff were so friendly and attentive from embarking to disembarking they couldn’t do enough for us. The food was amazing so much choice, local specialties on the menu but also basic choices if you ...
