River Cruises Reviews

To relax and have some time to ourselves. The river cruise on the Danube fit the bill perfectly. We needed to get away and see some of the world that was totally new and different. Living in Texas, if something is a couple of centuries old it’s considered history. It was a new experience to walk through true history so well preserved. The included tours were a good introduction to each area we ...

We had never been on an organized tour and cruise, although we had traveled extensively, we had never done a cruise or used tour guides. We were pleased with Viking's attention to detail. Everything was taken care of with people ensuring we made all the tours and transfers. We didn't want to go on an ocean cruise with thousands of people stuffed in a big floating hotel. With only about 200 ...

This was my first trip abroad, and it could not have gone better. The crew, the cruise director and the experiences were exceptional! Tony did a wonderful job organizing all he excursions. The app worked beautifully and kept me informed. The crew was so friendly and helpful. They did a tremendous job making sure I was comfortable and cared for. The onboard entertainment was fun and ...

This cruise was top notch. There isn't one thing that we did not enjoy. The crew and staff were outstanding. They treated you with respect and remembered your names when they saw you. We arrived in Amsterdam in the late morning, met our friends on the deck and relaxed with some wine. There was a buffet lunch and then they offered a walking tour of Amsterdam which was interesting. After our tour we ...

We immensely enjoyed the Rhine River cruise. The Viking Rolf Riverboat was exceptional, with many wonderful amenities. And the staff was even more exceptional. The dining selection was truly outstanding, with so many food options to select from … you will not go hungry. I am a clean freak, and the housekeeping was extraordinary. The daily scenic excursions, which by the way, were very organized by ...

We chose Scenic as they are one of the few that are genuinely all inclusive. Alcohol flows all day, as does food and all gratuities are covered by Scenic. You really don’t spend a cent from the time you step on board, unless you choose to shop in the towns. This aspect was definitely as advertised. The staff were amazing in all aspects, faultless in fact. The excursions ran smoothly thanks ...

We traveled from Amsterdam to Basel. When in Amsterdam, we stayed at the Okara hotel, which was five stars and close to local transportation. This was our second Viking River Cruise, and it was just as wonderful as our first. We made many friends on both cruises. . Sailing down the Rhine was beautiful and peaceful, watching the castles and vineyards go by. The staff on board are very friendly ...

This was a great way to experience Switzerland, France, Germany and Netherlands. Viking food, service, included tours were wonderful. The special experiences like warm hot chocolate and blankets given while on deck watching castles go by created memories. Good food options and the best service. I met several other teachers and all passengers had a wonderful time during nightly events like strings ...

We have sailed Viking two other times, on the Rhine and Danube. We were looking for a third adventure and Belgium-Holland seemed like a great choice. The scenery was disappointing as this area is very industrial. However, the ports, tour guides and Viking services were top notch. My only slight disappointment was with some of the food. Some portions were huge and others tiny. The mid meal ...

We chose this cruise because it is very convenient as we live in the Portland area. We went on river cruises in Europe and liked them a lot. This experience was different. We liked the staff and how well the excursions were organized, but except evening performances there were only enrichment lectures on board. No evening parties, no contests, no events on the sun deck. There was a lot of food and ...
