Passau to Europe - River Cruise Reviews

Synopsis Good river cruise • Marred by horribly ineptly made air arrangements • Failure to arrange the included pickup from the arrival airport to the included hotel • Marred by not so good onboard enrichment, but • With top-notch food & staff We booked our Viking River Cruise traveling from Bucharest (actually the Black Sea Port of Constanța), Rumania on the Danube River to ...

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 ...

I have never heard one person say anything negative about a Viking River cruise. This was our first river cruise, so we had only ocean large ships to use as a point of reference. So, when we took our Viking cruise in late April 2023, I expected everything to be top notch and we were not disappointed. The following are our ratings for the individual aspects of the cruise on a scale of 1 to 5, with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We chose this cruise for the fantastic itinerary, cruising the Danube, and visiting it wonderful cities; with pre and post cruise stays, to maximize our experience. All was great - accommodations, dining, tours, and especially the staff. Viking is a great way to see the countries we've not been able to access by ocean cruising. After a long day of travel to reach Prague, they had a new Mercedes ...
