Chose to take this cruise at this time to hopefully avoid the previous 2022 low river water experience and also to spend time in the city of light Paris. Before leaving home I reviewed the long range forecast for each city which indicated cloudy, cool, and rainy weather ... well the forecasts ended up being inaccurate as we experienced weather that was warm, partly cloudy, and no rain. I'm here to ...
This was my husband’s and my first Viking cruise. We had heard so many wonderful things about Viking and wanted to do something special for our 40th anniversary. We decided to do the Viking River cruise on the Rhine River from Paris, France to Zürich, Switzerland. They exceeded our expectations with their personal and friendly service. After the first night on our cruise, we went back to our ...
Viking was our top choice due to their reputation as a 5-star leader of classy VIP tours. Our expectations were exceeded.
Each and every staff member was constantly attentive and genuinely interested in our wellbeing.
The experienced “shore excursion” tour guides were at the top of their game when it came to invoking their insights, history and knowledge. Just an outstanding group of skilled ...
My mother, aunt, cousin, and I spent a week aboard the AMADante as we cruised along the Seine. The excursions were wonderful but I am writing this review about the crew and staff. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. If they even thought you were in need of something, they were right there with it! Alex Stan was our Cruise Manager and he was fun, energetic (Wakie, wakie!), and great at ...

Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback! We’re so happy to hear that you received such excellent service while sailing with us and that everything was to your liking during your...
I had always wanted to go to Paris and to Prague plus sailing on a Viking long ship was definitely on my bucket list. This trip accomplished all of that. I had never been to Europe before so seeing the architecture and buildings and cathedrals was fascinating .Our food was excellent as were the cocktails and wine! My only comment would be that it would have been nice to have a heads up about ...
We chose this after we both recently retired. My wife wanted to see Paris and I always wanted to see Germany where my ancestors were from. Prague was the plus. We are both young enough yet where we want to be able to walk and see history and was not disappointed. The trip was beautiful a little on the cool side but had some sunny days mixed in. The accommodations at Paris had switched a couple ...
I had a previous cruise on Avalon and was so happy with every detail. I’ve wanted to go to Normandy for a long time and was thrilled with the details of this trip. This trip was better than I could have imagined. Every detail was taken care of from getting us from the airport to the ship, then from the ship to the Eurostar train, from the station to our hotel in London and at the end to ...
We had done Amsterdam to Basel in 2018, and Paris-Normandy-Paris in 2019. This was our third cruise, and in our opinion, the best so far. Poetry II was immaculate and the crew and staff were friendly, competent, courteous and professional. As usual, the food was superb with excellent wine accompaniments. The daily "happy hour" is the best idea yet! We haven't decided where next year's cruise will ...
This cruise was recommended to us by friends.
We were extremely impressed with the quality and professionalism of the staff. We were met as soon as we landed at the airport and very quickly driven to the ship. Arrangements were also made for us to catch a train to Amsterdam at the end of the cruise. The ship is very clean and the room was very comfortable. Laundry services were readily ...
We has and outstanding cruise director by the name of Gayle. She went above and beyond to keep everything moving and organized.
Other than testing positive for COVID when we got home. Had a good trip.
The food was excellent but if I would fix one thing it would be the menu. With 90 percent of the passengers being from the USA they had to much food for breakfast that the Europeans like ...
