We were on the last ship to depart Passau for Budapest along the Danube for the Christmas Markets. We left on December 20th after a stay in Passau. We had rain and as the river began to rise it became questionable about making our destination in Budapest by ship. We were able to make our scheduled stops in Linz and in Krems. We departed Krems after the morning excursions in order to get ahead of ...
the overall experience was really disappointing. I felt that Viking skimped on alot of small but very important items. First off, the buffet when we arrived on the ship was sparce, not many selections. However, the check in could not have been more efficient.
We have been on close to 10 cruises so far and I would rate Viking at the lowest end of the cruises. Staff was great but there was ...
Went with a few friends and family to see the Christmas markets. I would recommend this to everyone. The 2 bad things were that they had a very heavy rainy season. This made getting from Passau to Budapest very challenging for the crew since we have to go under bridges. We did get stuck in Vienna for an extra night. That was not vikings first rodeo with theses issues. That made things happen so we ...
We chose a Viking cruise, as my husband refuses to sail on larger ships. In fact, it took some convincing to get him on a Viking River Cruise! However, once we were on board, it was obvious that we'd made a wonderful choice. From the ease of booking and knowledge of customer service team, the flawless travel to/from our destination and knowledge that Viking team we're tracking us all the way, ...
We wanted to take a cruise, but not on a big ocean liner! something small and with a Cozie feel to it, we picked this cruise off our bucket list of places to visit! And we were not disappointed. everything was from the first step on to the last step off was the best!! Every person on that staff was friendly and polite. And very professional. We will look for a Viking cruise every time we travel. ...
I have been interested in taking a Viking River Cruise since they sponsored "Downton Abbey." Having been to Vienna and Budapest in the 1970s, I was anxious to see them again.
I cannot believe how wonderfully we were treated. I loved everything about the cruise. From the time we landed in Munich, we were treated like royalty. Our luggage was collected for us and delivered to our ...
We had done the Rine a couple years ago and wanted to do a Danube as we were so impressed with it. Only issue was locating our Viking representative at the airport on Budapest, after finding him he took excellent care to lead us through getting our flight. The driver from the ship to airport just sort of dumped us and left. No communication!
The food and food service was excellent as we have ...
I wanted to experience traveling on a longboat in Europe. It was my first cruise on a longboat. It exceed my expectations. It was smooth sailing.
Everything went smoothly from picked up at the airport and returning to the airport once the cruise was over.
My stateroom was very comfortable and inviting. The design of the stateroom, made it feel larger than it is. I utilized the balcony ...
From the moment we were met in baggage claim until we passed back through security 11 days later we were treated to an utterly fantastic vacation by every Viking representative. Not a single details was lost along the way. We recovered from our jet lag with 3 days in Prague before boarding our ship, Embla. Prague is among one of our favorite cities in all of Europe and is must see on any European ...
This trip was 3 years in the planning the areas of visits and tours was a selling point. Since I enjoy comfort my travel companion and I opted for a Veranda suite was worth every penny. Fresh fruit and flowers every day a welcome bottle of Champagne a stocked fridge with water beer and wine what more could you ask and a big surprise free laundry if I would have known that I would have packed ...
