Having sailed with Viking before, choosing them again was an obvious choice. I was going on this trip as a birthday present for myself, and took my mother along with me. It was her first time out of the country. Viking was everything we both could have hoped for with this experience.
The fact that they take care of booking the flights and the airport transfers reduces a lot of the stress of ...
We went with a group of six. The tour guides were informative and thorough. The ship was clean and easy to get around. We also really liked the small size of the ship and with under 200 people. The wait staff, bartenders, desk staff, housecleaning, ship director, and everyone else were very attentive, friendly and ready to help you at all times. . The food was delicious and presentation was ...
We were on the Cities of Light cruise. We spent 4 extended days in Prague, 8 days on the river with stops in Germany and a short stop in Luxemborg at the American Cemetery and 4 extended days in Paris.The Rhine was not navigable in some places, but Viking handled it very professionally! I strongly recommend that you do extended days in Prague and Paris. It gives you an opportunity to meet people ...
I've been on two ocean cruises before and had great times on both of them. Viking took everything a step above what I've experienced before. From including tours at each port to amazing food/wine service included with each meal, their service exceeded my expectations. When we saw sales that included free round trip airfare to Europe, we couldn't pass up on the opportunity and I'm glad we ...
The cruise was excellent but there was too much bus travel. In particular, the bus ride to Paris was well over 4 hours after embarking the ship. On board the ship the service by Viking personnel was superb in all respects. The food on board was very good and the ship was immaculate. The included tours were interesting and the local tour guides were well prepared, imformative, and gave ...
We liked the thought of the hybrid nature of this cruise, with 2 nights in hotel in both Prague and Paris. First of all, let me say Viking was not responsible for the heat, or the airline issues many of us experienced in post covid environment that made some parts not so enjoyable, in fact their services were top notch and how comforting it was to be met at the airport by a friendly person in a ...
This was our first river cruise. After considering several cruise companies we selected Viking based on many positive reviews and consistently high cruise industry ratings. We can't say enough positive things about our experience. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Prague, we were greeted by a Viking representative and from there we were professionally and comfortably taken through ...
The Rhine river gorge, medieval towns, Prague pre-trip were all worth the cost.
Excellent service by Viking. Pickup and drop off at the airports were spot on.
The Cruise director Andrew did a great job managing a large group of people.
The shore excursions were informative covering the fascinating history of each towns.
Nurnberg, Heidelberg, Mainz and the American Cemetery were of ...
The ports in Germany exceeded my expectations! It is such a beautiful country. Prague and Paris were fabulous! Our program director, Andrew, was the best we have ever had on any river or ocean cruise and we have cruised over 30 times. He took the time to meet and to talk to everyone individually during the cruise and did what he could to ensure that we were happy.
Viking has stepped up their ...
Our cruise on the Viking Idi fulfilled a "bucket list" item and did so in extraordinary fashion, The trip down the Rhine, Main and Moselle highlighted stunning scenery. If you want castles, this voyage delivers them in spectacular fashion. We arrived a few days early to Prague in order to explore on our own. Prague is a terrific city. Youthful and vibrant. The hotel Viking selected in Prague was ...
