River Cruises Reviews

We chose this cruise because of Viking's reputation and our prior Viking experience on the Rhine. The pre-cruise extension allowed us to spend extra time in Muniche and Salzburg, the home of Mozart. We were able to see where the "Sound of Music" was filmed and could imagine ourselves as part of the movie. We took our picture in front of famous "gazebo" at the Hellbrunn Palace, where song "I am 16 ...

It was a wonderful trip! We were surrounded by people quality from leadership to staff to guides to fellow Vikings, fabulous food & drink, unique opportunities to immerse in the culture while enjoying beautiful scenery everywhere we went. It wasn’t a relaxing trip - there was a lot to do & see & learn. I loved that most of the excursions were included so we got to experience a lot of ...

This was our 2nd Viking river cruise, the first being in France. We had high expectations since we had a great experience last time, and we were not disappointed. The ship, food, and staff were all excellent. Shout outs to Chris, Dali, Darwin, Darrin and Jules especially as we had a lot of interaction with them. Loved Cologne and Alsace. Would have liked more time in a couple of the places, ...

From beginning to end, the entire trip was fabulous. One of our shipmates called it a very civilized way to travel. That sums it up! The staff was amazing, excursions were excellent and food was great. You don’t need to travel with friends as there are so many nice people to get to spend time with. We met many fun couples. We enjoyed the variety of excursions. On our next cruise we would wait ...

We cruised with friends who suggested we give this a try. It was our FIRST river cruise and we didn’t hesitate to give it a try. Was I impressed? Yes, indeed I was. From the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we departed, the staff and crew were outstanding. The food was excellent. The shipboard service was excellent. The hotel/ship manage and activities director went above and beyond ...

Nearly all aspects were fabulous. Some highlights: - Loved having the walking track for evening walks after dinner. - Every meal was excellent. - Loved our room and having our fridge stocked with sodas. - Enjoyed the beautiful flowers in our room. - Liked being able to join others for dinner or choose to sit at a table toward the bow of the boat where we could just be the two of ...

Had been on the same cruise some years ago and wanted to do it again to see more sites. Overall the guides and ship crew were exceptional. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone interest in traveling abroad. The Guides were varied and knew the local history very well. They also had a good sense of humor and made it even more interesting to the tourist. The person in charge (Marko) was very ...

I had received several VERY positive comments from friends who had taken Viking River Cruises. I had never been to Europe, and this seemed to be the perfect way to do it. I was not disappointed. Everything about the cruise was wonderful. From the Viking staff (liaison, captain & crew, chef and his team, guides and the young man who kept our room clean and neat), I did not encounter one person that ...

Egypt and the Nile have always been on the top of our bucket list, this cruise was perfect in all respects! Hotels were outstanding as were the meals and excursions. The Balloon Ride over the Valley of the Kings and the Excursion to Abu Simbel were our highlights. The Program Director, Rasha Mady, was absolutely brilliant. Her knowledge of Egyptian history and culture was very impressive, and ...

Everyone I spoke with raved about the Viking cruise experience and this was a trip that was on our bucket list for our 50th wedding anniversary. The activities director was excellent. The Viking daily and the Port Talk each evening, we received all the information we needed to know what was happening. Everything was organized and if there was a possibility of a delay, we were informed for that ...
