We chose this cruise primarily because it fit in with our travel for a European wedding in our family and we always wanted to do a river cruise. We had our AAA agent arrange the flights for us and she did a great job getting us direct flights from Portland to Amsterdam, on to Budapest where we spent a few days and then another direct flight back to Portland from Amsterdam.

This was my mom’s bucket list cruise and I was fortunate to get to accompany her. I came in with no expectations, and was blown away at every turn. I am afraid that I will never find another cruise or another crew that will ever live up to the one on this trip.
The cabin was serviced twice a day with a personal touch. Our cabin attendant was extremely pleasant and went above our expectations. ...
I lived in west Germany in the early 70’s and wasn’t able to visit Eastern Europe then so this was a great opportunity. It was so interesting to see these countries and learn so much from the local guides hired by Viking. Love the friendliness of the Viking staff and the included excursions were outstanding. Optional excursions were also available while docked at ports. The excursions are rated ...
I was looking for a nice trip for me and my adult daughter. She is an experienced traveler and has been to Europe quite a few times (her husband is from England and she has friends in Ireland and Italy). This seemed like a great trip that covered a lot of geography in as a relaxed way as possible. I wanted some structure, but the ability to do some on your own sightseeing including getting off the ...
We were looking for something special to do with our adult children and daughter-in-law to celebrate several events all at the same time, including our wedding anniversary, milestone birthdays that went uncelebrated due to Covid-19, my son’s anniversary of employment, my 9-year retirement anniversary and Father’s Day. We selected Viking’ cruise upstream the Rhône River, from Avignon to Lyon, ...
This cruise was recommended by our Travel Advisor. The entire experience was wonderful.
I'm glad we did a short river cruise (220 Km). We were in port every night which allowed us to sightsee, dine off the ship if we wanted.
Every day was an event by bus to see the many different sights each city or town presented. We saw a varied things on our day trips for Cathedrals, Castles, Wineries. ...

Greetings from AmaWaterways! We are delighted you had a memorable time in Portugal on board the AmaVida. We sincerely appreciate you taking a moment to write about your experience. We look...
Chose this cruise because I have issues with seasickness so figured a RIVER cruise would be much smoother than an OCEAN one. Sure enough, I could not even tell whether we were docked or moving unless I looked out the window! SUPER SMOOTH. Also chose this particular river cruise because we have been to Germany before and saw a small portion of this area and knew it would be beautiful and ...
Never been on a cruise before and figured it’d be good to start with a river one…and Viking didn’t disappoint! Excellent service from every single staff member (kudos to Nadia who kept my state room in tip top shape twice a day!)! Max was the best director and I truly had a wonderful time going on all the excursions. I felt so relaxed and made a lot of new friends. I love all the excursion ...
Even though the tour itinerary was most interesting, we chose Avalon because of their professional customer service that actively followed up with our inquiries before we booked our trip. That was just the beginning of Avalon Waterways exceeding our expectations.
We were welcomed at the airport with a friendly and conversant transportation crew. It really could not have been easier to come ...
While we have not done an ocean cruise, we are more about site seeing than relaxation so a river cruise was more appealing for our first experience. The offer of included flights was a main selling point as was the small passenger size and included excursions. A river cruise is remarkable smooth. The staff was all approachable and helpful. The guides and buses for the excursions were typically ...
