This was a birthday present for my 60th birthday and something I always wanted to do. My family sent myself and my husband on a Danube river cruise on the Viking Prestige. My husband wasn't that keen as doesn't enjoy organised trips and finds cruising a not particularly sustainable holiday choice but agree to go. He was also concerned that it would not be active enough for us, The trip was ...
We have been on a number of sea cruises previously and this was our 3rd river cruise that we chose for the destinations. We had not been on Emerald before so this was a new experience for us.
We were met at the airport and transferred to the ship without any problem and greeted by the crew who were very helpful. Our luggage arrived at the cabin safely that we found that the cabin facilities ...
I choose this cruise because I wanted to see Vienna but more so Budapest. We did add the Budapest extension and really loved Budapest and all we saw on our own. Viking hypes it's cruises as being the best but my past experience on another line was far superior. From the first day there were disappointments. Docked outside the city in Passau and had to use a bus to go into town. The room was ...
This is our 2nd Viking river cruise so we had very high expectations.
Viking can not help that the river was low but there should have been advanced warnings.
The staff did their best to accommodate for this inconvenience.
Also the offer of 25% off for the next cruise is not enough to compensate for having to change hotels within Budapest, the poor evening meal at that hotel and ...
Major problem exist with the Viking representative, she was not informed or had never taken the cruise we took. The information we had stated there was an elevator in the ship (There was not). There was no considerations for the Handicapped in a wheelchair anywhere during the ports and tours. The agent stated there should be no problem.
In Southern Germany; while I quickly took my wife to the ...
Greeted at the airport as designed, to bad about the bomb scare, that was only a minor indication of what was to come!!
Made our way to the Prague Marriott downtown, a very nice hotel, and greeted by the viking staff on arrival - room was ready because we paid for the day previous. Keep in mind if you are flying in from NA, you'll likely be on a red eye - we were - and you won't get into your ...
Saw the ads on TV and thought it would be a nice thing to try. It took us 3.5 hours to straighten out our flights that had been booked by the company. When we arrived, we were treated very well. There was a young lady that met us at the airport and directed us to a bus. When we arrived at the port, we were on a very old boat and was told that we would have to transfer to another one. The boat ...
In August of 2014 my husband and I booked an Avalon River Cruise from Prague to Paris to take place August, 2015. Unfortunately, our first night in Prague we learned that there was a barge loaded with steel in the middle of the river and our river boat would not be able to reach us in Nuremburg which was the original point of embarkation for the cruise. Since we had arrived a day early, the ...
