We have wanted to try a river cruise for some time and we also wanted to experience a Strauss concert. This cruise satisfied both needs. The off boat tours were all amazing, very well organised and the local guides were exceptional. The lady who was Program Director was very good she was very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The quality of the food and service was extremely ...
Our first river cruise was delightful. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly helpful staff made it enjoyable. The food was enjoyable with the menu reflecting the countries that we were passing through as well as offering other choices plus a standard menu. The evening meals were normally at 7.00p.m. with one sitting and plenty of time to chat over the provided glass of wine. Dress was smart casual ...
I've always wanted to take a Viking River Cruise and was finally able to check it off my bucket list this September. I'd heard many great things about them and wasn't disappointed. The service was impeccable, the food delicious, the cabin extremely comfortable. There was always a snack available (a selection of coffees and teas from the beverage station, fresh fruit, fresh cookies) and there was ...
My mom likes to take her 3 "girls" (all in our 50's) on a trip each summer. This time she picked a doozy.
We did the 7 night Danube Waltz with the 4 night pre-cruise extension (Munich and Salzburg). The hotels were well located, and the tours were good. It was nice to have some time to get over jet lag before boarding.
Embarkation (for us) went smoothly - we pretty much just walked on, ...
We chose this particular cruise because we wanted to see a part of Europe we had never seen before and to also celebrate our 25 year anniversary. Viking was a dream vacation we had saved for and we were not disappointed at all! We also were lucky enough to meet and make friends with a Federal Judge on board with us who was allowed by the captain to renew our vows in the ships library, and which ...
Pampered from first day to the last. We will definitely take another Viking Cruise. The staff was so very caring and helpful. I needed a gluten free menu and the extra given to me to take care that I had food I could eat was amazing. The tour guides were exceptional. The Abbey with the Apricot Snapps was amazingly beautiful and only Viking tourists were present. The daily trips were wonderful from ...
We traveled Viking several years ago on the Rhine, which was satisfactory but not over whelming. The itinerary and our familiarity with Viking,its ships.and on-board experience was determinative in returning to Viking. Traveling with another couple we determined to allow Viking to do it all this trip. We elected to extend in Prague (presailing) and Budapest (post sailing) Once we left the ...
We want a romantic getaway with a small group, no children or pets and a chance to explore European history while enjoy fine cuisines and good wine. With Viking and this cruise, we achieved all of our goals.
Each stop along the way was unique and walkable. We were fortunate to have delightful weather and friendly cruisemates. Each evening, we enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at the bar while ...
We decided on the Viking Danube Waltz River Cruise for our 40th Wedding Anniversary celebration because of it's all inclusiveness/little planning on our part appeal. We have never been outside of the United States except for a tropical Disney Cruise. We were dreading the long flights since we don't even like 3 hours flights within the states, but we survived. We toured from Passau to Budapest ...
This was our first ever river cruise and I was pleasantly surprised. Our cabin was very nice and the service was outstanding. Loved the intimacy of the boat and the fact that we got to meet to many wonderful people and made some lasting friendships. We explored Munich prior to getting on the boat and Viking did such a wonderful job of making that so enjoyable. There was nothing that we had to ...
