We had many, many choices from the brochure, but this one seemed like a modest choice for first timers, like us. The itinerary gives a nice collection of different cities and cultures to experience. Our sales gal, Angelina, did a marvelous job in answering our many questions and made the whole experience painless. The included round-trip flights and transfers were a definite plus. The only ...
The Amazon has always been a bucket list for me. This trip was the most comfortable and extensive way to experience all the spectacle and grandeur of this piece of our planet. Strolling and bicycling through quiet riverside villages, walking along paths deep in the forest with both cruise guides and local guides, or traveling deep into the flooded tributaries of the main rivers was deeply ...
We chose Viking because of the well-deserved reputation it maintains. We chose the Rhine getaway because it has all of the places and things, we wanted to see for our FIRST trip. We would go on this cruise again except that we want to experience some of the other trips that Viking has to offer. Our trip began when we landed in Zurich and were whisked away to Lucerne for our pre-excursion stay in ...
We wanted our 30th anniversary to be one we would never forget, and our choice to go VIking did not disappoint! As luck would have it, we had ideal weather for our entire journey. One of the most attractive things about Viking for us was the unpacking ONCE feature. It really held true. We unpacked, and there was a spot for absolutely everything. We tucked our suitcases under the bed and didn't ...
My daughter and I chose this cruise because it was on my “bucket list” to do a European river cruise. It was our first ever river cruise. We felt it was the right length of time. It was my 80th birthday gift from my daughter! How awesome. I would definitely do another river cruise with Viking; a great experience. Food was outstanding. All staff; cabin stewards, servers, hotel manager, cruise ...
We chose this cruise because my husband and I wanted to see the Great Lakes of the United States and Canada, but to do it without the hassle of driving. Well, this trip did it all! Beautiful, spacious accommodations, elegant food, and a top notch staff who could not have made you feel more welcome. We loved it! The ports were very interesting, there was a happy hour every evening at 5pm and ...
I had traveled on VIking on other time, and liked the itinerary of this trip. It was well planned with great excursions. The food was excellent and the staff were great. The excursions went off without a hitch. Each one was very informative and interesting. We especially enjoyed learning about Martin Luther. The entertainment on board was good and we enjoyed his music selections. Very ...
First time on a river boat cruise and would definitely do such a cruise again and definitely would use Viking. Onboard attention to detail was superb. Excursions were well planned, well organized and very fun. Particularly liked the castle tour and the WWII tour of the Audi Murphy experience. WIFI/Internet was disappointing but was acceptable. Appreciated the chef having main menu items that were ...
We wanted to renew old connections with Cologne, Strasbourg, Koblenz and Amsterdam. The trip was a success in that respect. We made wonderful memories in each of these locations, and had dinner with old friends in Cologne.
Viking supported this goal beautifully. At every turn we were surprised with the perfection of Viking's detailed planning and execusion of our excursions, the extension ...
We did the Viking Rhine cruise a few years ago, and knew we wanted to do another. After the "unpleasantness" of 2020-2022, we booked this Danube cruise for 2023. We had high expectations given our Rhine experience. As they say, it did NOT disappoint. Viking River ships are all of the same design, so it was all very familiar, which is a plus. The crew from stem to stern was exceptional. the ...
