Viking Cruise Reviews

We had never been to Germany or Austria, Hungary or the Netherlands. We wanted a longer cruise so we could experience as much of this part of the world as possible! My mother was born in Vienna so I was especially interested in that city! We had heard many wonderful things about Viking and always wanted to go on one of their cruises so we decided to book the cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. It ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see where D-Day took place... and we had not been to Versailles or Paris together. We enjoyed every port and particularly enjoyed Monet's house and gardens in Vernon/Giverny. The cruise staff was great... Chef was great... great menus/food. Our room was very well designed and appointed. Simple and clean. All of our luggage fit under the bed so once we ...

This was our second Viking river cruise, from Lyon to Avignon on the Rhone. Our first Viking cruise was several years ago, on the Danube, Budapest to Passau. We met family in Lyon, my sister and our cousin and their spouses. Everyone had a great time. All of the shore excursion tours were excellent - Viking guides are local, pleasant and really know their areas. The food on board was fantastic. I ...

We were 3 couples traveling together. We originally had planned to travel in May 2020 but Covid changed all that - we wound up postponing a second time and finally were able to sail in October. We were issued 125% vouchers which was a very nice gesture from Viking. We were traveling before and after the cruise on our own so we did not use the transfers from the airports. We arrived at the ...

(See my review of our cabin in the section below) Food Three meals a day are served on board. As this is a small boat (less than 200 passengers), there is one seating for the meal. There are no assigned tables, you can eat with whomever you please. We met two other couples early in the cruise and the six of us ate our meals together every day. I noticed that there were many who did this ...

I chose this cruise as it was going through an area of Germany that I remember from my childhood. Actually, I was born very far north Germany, but I remember going to Berlin when I was a kid. I have many tassen in my china cabinet and even some old pieces from Dresden - which I inherited from my grandmother. I wanted to go somewhere other than the Rhine and my daughter and I really wanted to ...

Where do I begin? We booked the Paris to the Swiss Alps river cruise in 2019 to sail in 2020. Unfortunately due to Covid our cruise was cancelled that year. While rescheduling, the Viking representative suggested that we take a voucher that would be totally refundable with a 25% upgrade to our room. We took advantage of that offer believing that we could cash it in at any time. What a lie!! ...

The overall trip was fabulous. We had never taken a Viking River cruise before but we had heard good feedback from people we know that had done river cruises with Viking before. The entire trip was well choreographed, starting with the arrival at the Cairo airport. The Program Director (Hany) was excellent and we felt very lucky to have had his guidance and expertise on the entire tour. He was ...

This river cruise was excellent! I didn’t know what to expect however, everything from start to finish was absolutely wonderful. The tours and local guides were well planned/educated and full of information. The food on board was “to die for” and the entertainment and staff were great. Our cabin was well laid out and had all the amenities in it. So peaceful to watch the countries go by as we sat ...

This was our 2nd Viking Cruise (also did the Seine, Paris to Normandy and back which was also fantastic) and it did not disappoint. From the time you land until you leave they take great care of you every step of the way. The staff is super friendly, the ship and stateroom was comfortable and spotless (stateroom with veranda is a must upgrade), wifi worked great, entertainment is reserved but ...
