Paris River Cruises Reviews

Wanted a small ship experience and liked the route this one took. Unfortunately the weather on our trip was atrocious. We had maybe 5 hours of sun during the entire time. Not only rainy, but very cold and windy. We were prepared for temperatures in the 50's but not this. Of course this was not Viking's fault but it put a damper on all the excursions. As far as excursions, the ones that ...

Originally chose this cruise based on the itinerary. I had never cruised with Viking before, but I have cruised with other companies. Quick rundown: Wine, beer, and soda included with lunch and dinner, excellent regional dishes as well as foods that are always available. You can bring alcohol on board and they will open and serve it for you without charging you to do so. On land, there is ...

This was a great cruise that hit the highlights, allowed a good amount of free time and the ability to see many Christmas markets. Europe during the holidays has a magical charm. Viking provided 5-star service from start to finish. The cabin was well kept and always clean. The staff of the Viking Alsvin were at the end of their tour year but you would have thought it was early in the year. They ...

We chose this cruise for it's itinerary. All the stops and excursions were extremely informative and enjoyable. We viewed many cathedrals and experienced many Christmas markets. The guides on our excursions were extremely knowledgeable. The ship board food was excellent. There were t theme based dinners for the areas that we traveled to. The events on board were very engaging with the captain ...

From the booking to the return home flight, Viking never disappointed us. The ship and crew were fantastic. They always remembered our names and were very interactive. Everyone was fun interacting with, and the crew kept the ship neat and tidy. Comfortable and attentive. The folks meet you at baggage pick-up and take you first class to your hotel or ship. The ship greets you with the entire staff ...

Our Destination Seine Tauck tour departed Paris on 10/19/2022 and returned on the 29th. This company was so highly recommended by a personal friend that we decided to give Tauck a whirl. Tauck was to come into competition with the Crystal Danube cruise we took one year prior to the pandemic. WE found the service to be very uneven, the cruise was understaffed(not acceptable taking into ...

Our traveling friends wanted to see Paris and the Swiss Alps and this cruise fit that criteria. The time of year worked for all of us, too. Once on the cruise, we realized we would be sailing before the time of the Christmas markets so that was a disappointmet. However, I guess that means we will have to book another cruise sometime. Our dining experience far exceeded our expectations. The ...

We have enjoyed every Viking cruise. The quality is always excellent, accommodations and staff are great. Will continue to use Viking in the future. We usually skipped the evening entertainment because of the early morning tours. The staff were excellent, as they always are. Viking really takes care to insure every passenger is safe and accounted for. That is important to those of us who are ...

First time river cruising... Decided to try one after 15 or so ocean cruises. It won't be our last. Viking's staff was top notch throughout the process with the exception of messing up our return flight, but that was minor in comparison to the rest. We enjoyed having a small group on board (175 or so as compared to thousands on a sea voyage). No kids, no photographers in your face, no art ...

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 ...
