The AmaMagna is a beautiful vessel and deserves the designation as flagship. The place has a special feeling and is warm and inviting. The excursions were plentiful but somewhat routine - more specialty outings would be welcome. The 4 restaurants were a great feature, seating and availability never an issue, Sadly, the cuisine overall was uninspired while imaginatively presented. It just lacked ...

My wife and I so enjoyed our cruise that it is almost churlish to pick fault in our experience. We have already provided a response to our ship, Scenic Amber, expressing our enjoyment of our cruise. In terms of the experience on the ship, a 5 star rating is almost too low!!
Where our experience fell below 5 star was in the structure of the cruise. I would make 2 points. The first is that for a ...
This has always been on my bucket list. A river Cruise was the ticket. The overall cruise on the Expression was fine. the cabins are nice and provide adequate room. The service and staff were all very nice. We were disappointed with the food. The selection and the quality were a bit below expectations. Great presentation but dinners were not to my liking. Lunches and breakfast were fine. ...
We did the Rhine Cruise a couple of years ago . Loved this cruise just as much. Were treated onboard by two incredible members of the ship’s waitstaff; Archie and Evan.
This pair smoothed out the rough spots on our trip like it was natural for them to dive in and give special treatment to guests when there was the least amount of an issue. (AC down in dining room)
Also met and ...
The Paris and Loire extension was excellent, well timed, with comfortable and good hotels.
Surprisingly, enough time to do a mini city tour of Paris by taxi (no traffic, Parisians are on vacation in August) and easy restaurant reservations.
Busy at the Chateaus we visited, but our guides whisked us right by them.
Traffic much less than expected, only near Bordeaux somewhat ...
Initial embarkation was straightforward, as the ship was docked adjacent to the port, but if this is not the case as we encountered later, it can be a matter of luck whether there is a straight walk through another ship, or if one has to climb to the sun deck, traverse two sun decks, and down again to the dock. As I am able to walk a few steps with assistance, this was less of a problem for me, ...
We wanted a relaxing couple of weeks. A little sightseeing was ok, but we were not into museums etc. The excursions, by and large, were quite interesting. There was one serious exception: In Belgrade, there was an optional excursion - Learn about Yugoslav history by driving around in a Yugo. This was a total disaster. They drove us around in clunkers with no air conditioning. We were sweating like ...
Overall it was a fantastic trip. I would highly recommend this trip and Viking Cruise Lines. Very impressed with the design and utilization of the space in our cabin. Food and service was good. Although, there a norovirus outbreak and once that happened dining room service slowed down and could be disorganized at times.
All of the tour guides were informative and entertaining. The excursions ...
This was planned pre Covid. Finally was able to experience Viking. I am sure I would enjoy any of the destinations. Very well organized. Accommodations were pleasant. Staff was always there to assist. The cities and towns we visited were very interesting. I’ve been to cologne a couple other times on a WWII tour but enjoyed seeing new areas in and around Cologne. The included daily town ...
I was not fond of ocean cruises when I saw the river cruise ads I was intrigued! I am so pleased that I decided this was the adventure for me. If you are looking for a more intimate, peaceful and pampered experience this is the route for you. I cannot say enough about the onboard service. The food alone was worth the trip, like eating at a 4star restaurant 3 times a day!!!! Wine and spirits ...
