Prague to Europe - River Cruise Reviews

We selected this cruise because we had never been on a European river cruise and because this cruise terminated in Paris. The daily excursions were excellent with knowledgeable, friendly guides. We were surprised at the beauty of Germany, both the villages and the landscape. The French balcony provided amazing views from our cabin. We had been on a beautiful Viking ocean cruise previously and ...

We had been assured by friends and family that Viking was the best and most reliable company to work with, and it turned out to be true. We were greeted and escorted by the 'Red Shirt Brigade' at each and every stop from our arrival to final departure. A well organized effort to keep us all on schedule and together. Our crew was most gracious and helpful. The Captain was informative and ...

I really enjoyed the smaller ship. It really provided many opportunities to meet all of the staff and other passengers. Visiting the Bastei area is hard to describe without experiencing it yourself, a must see tour in my opinion. The porcelain factor tour in Meissen was fantastic. I didn't realize the intricate process of making hand made porcelain. You were given the flexibility to add additional ...

Chose this cruise because we had never travelled to East Germany before and wanted to see some of the cities of historical significance. Also, had never been to Berlin and were interested in seeing it. Dresden, Potsdam, Meissen, Wittenberg were also fascinating! Our local guides were always knowledgeable and added much to the stops. There was minimum time spent on buses traveling to sites and ...

The new ship was lovely, the food very good with (too much) abundance. The wait/bar staff were so accommodating, remembered what we drank, etc. They were lovely about serving lunch also in the lounge are as we had so few people. The tour director, the hardworking staff, from every job, housekeeping, front desk, dining, check in & off ship, was a joy. No complaints there. The Elbe left some ...

This was our second Viking river cruise. Previously we've done all the big cruise liners, Carnaval (Alaska), royal Carib (med), Norwegian (Hawaii), Celebrity (Australia/New Zealand) and Princess (Panama Canal). After our first Viking river cruise, we decided we found our vacation home. The first one, the Danube, was so perfect, we had to go again. After our second, we already booked our third ...

My friend and I take a yearly trip and chose to travel on the lesser known Elbe River to see cities in the former East Germany. Viking is the only cruise line that offers cruises on this narrow and shallow river . As a result the boats are smaller , yet have the same Viking high standard . Viking offers daily excursions which were excellent. In Dresden we chose to attend the evening concert ...

This was our first riverboat cruise. We had checked out some others cruises casually but couldn't get excited about any. We went to a presentation put on by Expedia Cruise in Courtenay, BC, regarding Scenic and the guy with the funny accent caught our excitement regarding the boat, the service onboard, and what we would see on the tour. We immediately started planning our cruise that we just got ...

Our group was on the inaugural cruise of the Amadeus MS Queen, loved it and was ready to go again so we did! We've sailed now with multiple cruise lines and have found Luftner's Amadeus line to be a step above. The Amadeus Queen is a state of the art ship with all the amenities you'd expect and more. The crew is amazing and will do what it takes to ensure that you are taken care of in a 5 star ...

We had done another Scenic cruise (Bordeaux) and decided to book an area in Europe we hadn’t seen. We chose to travel during the Christmas market season. I have some mobility issues, so feeling safe and secure is important. The wonderful staff and personnel on the Amber were amazingly attentive. If I even hesitated, there was someone at my elbow for buses, gangplanks, stairs, etc. No one ...
