As we had river cruised with Viking previously, we expected a top-notch cruise experience. Overall, we had an enjoyable time, but there were several events that, in my opinion, were not up to Viking standards.
First, after a day of cruising, we wanted to relax in the lounge with a few drinks before dinner. Each night, the program director would get on the microphone and give a long, detailed ...
I traveled with friends who had already researched, selected this week on the Mani. I had never been on a river cruise so relied on my friends and their recommendation. Was NOT disappointed! Basel to Amsterdam was delightful...loved the itinerary. Water level was perfect, weather was beautiful! The Mani crew was so professional....making sure every minute met my expectations!! ...
We Chose Viking because we heard a lot of positive comments about Viking. They really do care about your experience. The cruise was great except we did not realize how many locks we would encounter (lots of noise and bumps while cruising - especially at night). Food was quite good and staff most accommodating. Entertainment was not that great -- the best was music trivia night. Generally, it ...
This was our second cruise and a great one! Our first cruise on another ship carrier down the Danube was interesting and not great because the owner of the company was on board and wanted all the staff to take extra care of him! We were told by our friends to try Viking and they were correct about the care the crew took of all their guests. Loved the ship, the food, the service, housekeeping ...
Yes going again in December 2022 but it was supposed to be in December 2020 which was cancelled. Viking was recommended by my daughter in law's mother so we planned about 4 years so we finally did it when I saw a good deal last March and did this trial river cruise and we loved it. This is for adults who can walk and take advantage of the free excursions. It is quite different from the usual ...
This was our first cruise ever, and we had a blast. We had arranged an extension trip beforehand, so we flew into Zürich where a Viking driver awaited to take us to Lucerne. We spent two nights in that beautiful city (in the same hotel where Mark Twain once stayed) and were guided by our excellent guide Katarina. We were then driven on a Viking bus to Basel and boarded the Einar. We stopped at ...
We chose this cruise because of interest in Portugal.
From our arrival in Lisbon to our departure from the ship in Porto, Viking handled everything perfectly. Transfers were on time, Patricia ( our cruise director) was on top of everything.
The hotel in Lisbon was excellent , the transportation team was the best.
Once we were greeted on board the Osfrid by the ship’s crew, we felt we were ...
This crew knows how to handle anything that comes up! The ship was so well laid out. Food, wine and excursions were good, but more free time was needed.
Food choices were well planned out, but more (better) vegetarian options should be included.
Always go for the daily local wine choices. You don’t want to miss them.
Refillable water bottles are needed to take on excursions. ...
This was my first cruise ever, and the most beautiful experience with my husband.
I can't describe the joy and excitement we were able to have during our cruise in the Viking Aegir!
Everything was perfect for us. We enjoy our room, the tours, the food was always great, the service, the guide tours, etc.
We met great people that are now our friends.
We are looking forward to getting ...
We have traveled previously on Viking and multiple other cruise lines. We booked this cruise on Viking because we were looking forward seeing all of the points along the Rhine. It was wonderful. Viking knows how to treat their guests. The people that work on the ship are always so polite and very helpful. The Rhine scenery and included day trips were so very enjoyable. I loved the day we sat ...
