Passau to Europe - River Cruise Reviews

Pros: Very comfortable cabins, Professional but also friendly staff. Cons: cost efficient only for those who go in every excursion, Only one day in Vienna, cuisine generally non-impressive. This was a seven day cruise traveling west on the Danube River from Passau to Budapest. I’d note that the waters of the Danube were very high during the trip. Tauck river cruises are ...

We had previously taken a Viking Rhine River Cruise and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to do the Danube Waltz cruise with them. We started with their Prague pre-excursion package and stayed at the Prague Marriott hotel. The hotel was conveniently located near the Old Town, with many shops and restaurants. The breakfast was excellent. We did Viking's Prague walking tour, the Prague Night ...

We chose this cruise because of the location- Prague to Budapest- and because 3 couples from different areas of US wanted to experience a trip together. Our hotels were located near sites and public transportation. There was a long and then rushed bus ride from Prague to Passat but then we boarded and the adventure continued! Wait staff was first rate- always ready to meet our needs. The cruise ...

Our second Viking river cruise. First was Rhine: Basel-Amsterdam. Eastern Europe is very different! About Viking: As expected, ship, crew, everything wonderful. Viking really has their act together. Can't say enough good things about them. About the itinerary: Everywhere we went, we heard the guides and the locals tell us what hell it was to live under Communism, and how they are ...

Our travel agent suggested Viking Cruises. It was perfect! The stateroom was spacious and lovely. The included tours were educational and informative. Having walking challenges, it was nice to have the leisure tour options. And with guidance of the tour guide and Viking reps, I was able to use a taxi twice to save my walking strength. The meals were excellent. I would have preferred an ...

Pre-cruise hotel in Munich (Hilton) was fine. We needed to place a call for A/C fan not working. Tours were good and interesting. Local restaurants were few, we needed to secure rides to get dinner. Pre-cruise hotel in Salzburg (Sheraton) was nice and close to shopping and restaurants. Tours and tour guides were outstanding. Our Viking representative for these four days was great. We ...

We chose to do the Prague pre-cruise extension. While the weather wasn't the best (chilly, some rain) we felt this was the best part of the trip. We met 7 awesome people that we ended up socializing, eating meals with and in our same tour group the whole trip.! I truly believe we were meant to do this just to meet these friends which we know will be life long. The architecture , history and ...

Viking Flash sale made it affordable to our group. Everything was taken care of, from out airfare, transfers, cabin,. As we arrived in Munich the Viking representative was there to greet our group. We loaded onto a very comfortable bus for the two hour ride to Passau. We then boarded the ship. From start the finish, the hospitality was on display. We were shown to our rooms, and the steward ...

Eight days was Right # of days. Price was good plus we got free airfare. We wanted to visit the countries to be visited. We wanted to be on a Viking river cruise on a longship The staff to guests ratio was wonderful, with wonderful service and incredible meals Great program director--talented; efficient; personable. Really enjoyed his trivia nights and was excited to have won one of his ...

This was our second Viking Cruise. We had the same type room which did not disappoint. The cleaning staff kept our room very clean. The view of the Danube was great although when you are parked in a lock, you don’t see anything. The excursions were well organized and interesting. We loved Vienna especially but did not feel that Slovakia offered much. I would recommend a different port. It ...
