Chose this cruise with my neighbor, who then had an accident just 3 days prior and was unable to go. My niece came with me and we had a great time. Easy transfer from the airport in Basel. Room was adequate, really did not spend much time in the room. Would have been nice to have a balcony on the day that was quite cold and rainy when we sailed up the Rhine and saw all the castles, but on a ...
This was our fourth river cruise and fifth cruise overall with Viking. Although we had a couple difficult nights at first with the air conditioning in our stateroom, the crew on this trip has been the best we have dealt with of all our Viking cruises. We took the Rhine cruise last year starting in Amsterdam and terminating in Basel. That cruise was probably our least favorite due to the low ...
I booked my first river cruise on the Lower Mississippi River for March 2023 back in May 2022 on the American Countess. I was concerned about what level of service to expect given the pandemic. I proceeded hoping that things would settle down back towards normal as the embarkation date approached. I am a manual wheelchair user and require an ADA cabin. I knew the number of accommodating cabins ...
Response from BriannaH, Guest Relations @American Queen Voyages
Thank you for the feedback and your kind words. We are disappointed to hear that some of the food was at a less than ideal temperature. We will make sure we pass this along to the American...
For me, the most attractive feature of Viking river cruises is the excellent quality of their guides. Very well educated, often college instructors/professors, they add so much depth to the shore excursions.
The choice of cities was diverse and gave an excellent overview of the region and its history. Reading about history is great, but walking the streets, seeing the battlefields gives an ...
We decided on Scenic based on our friends’ recommendation and it did not disappoint! It was all inclusive which meant we didn’t have to worry about any additional payments. The best thing about Scenic cruises is the quality of service, food and drinks. The staff looked after us so well that we felt like royalty! We also looked forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner every day! The only unfortunate ...
We saw Viking Cruise on TV and set a goal to someday take a cruise. We booked almost a year early and began to prepare by reading and viewing all the information we could concerning the opportunities available on our cruise. From that research we selected the excursions to enhance the local culture at each place we were at port and things we wanted to do on the boat. We met so many good people ...
My sister and I really wanted to see the wonders of Egypt first hand. By choosing a Viking cruise, we knew that we didn't have to worry about not being able to read or speak the language. A Viking representative collected us at the airport and walked us through getting the Egyptian visa. (Hint - don't even bother with trying to use the Egyptian electronic visa website. It took minutes to get ...
I had always wanted to go on a Viking cruise after listening to many of my friends who had previously travelled on Viking. The Danube voyage did not disappoint. Budapest was much lovelier than I had expected. Each of the tours, be it Budapest, Bratislava, Wien, Krems, or Linz was conducted with professionalism and very informative. I appreciated the fact that each tour was rated as to the ...
A Viking representative met us at the Basil Airport and to the time we were escorted to the airport in Amsterdam, we were given exceptional service. The Rhine River Cruise met all my expectations. It was well organized; staff was friendly; and meals were delicious. The excursions were well planned, and the tour guides were experts in their fields. The daily walking tours took us into German and ...
We chose this cruise because we have friends that had already signed up. We had always wanted to do a river cruise and were unfamiliar with Avalon. However, we found Avalon to be an excellent river cruise company. They had very good communication and were definitely focused on safety. One nice feature was their GoAvalon app on our phones that helped keep us up to date on the itinerary. We had ...
