Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Sigrun
AHB58
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
Christmas on the Rhine - that’ll be special and nice I thought.
What a crushing disappointment that turned out to be, onboard Viking Sigrun.
Chose Viking off the back of good online reviews and those of friends who had travelled with them, and expectations were high. Before even starting the trip Viking delivered disappointment .
This trip was booked in the previous March and in June ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Kara

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
My wife and I have never been on a cruise before. In 2023 we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and were looking to take a trip. When initial ideas didn't work with our timeframe, we ended up looking at other options that ended up with us finding Viking's Christmas Market cruise along the Rhine. We somewhat impulsively booked it in July of 2023. At the time it accounted for the sixth ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Hild

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
I wanted a special Christmas gift for my wife and she loves all things Christmas. The draw of magical Christmas markets in beautiful historic settings is what drew me to join this cruise.
We allowed Viking to do our flight arrangements. Most all were great. More on that later.
The arrival and checkin in Paris was very smooth as has always been our experience with Viking. We enjoyed the ...

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Viking Tialfi

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
The restaurant meals aboard the ship were perfect! We loved having so many choices for starters, salads, entrees, and desserts -- both daily offerings and regional specialties. The service was equally perfect -- all of the staff were so attentive to us and we could not have asked for better! They learned our names and were eager to serve us. After a couple of days, they often knew what ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Panorama
Ivana McGrail
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
I went on this cruise as part of a travel group of 20. There were some hiccups at the outset due to high water levels on the Rhine. Avalon did an amazing job to make sure their guests were well cared for and accommodated and still provided all the tours. The local guides provided were top notch and the food provided by Avalon delicious and plentiful. The staff worked incredibly hard and ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Tranquility II
Perfect Vacatio
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
I did a lot of research before we chose to sail with Avalon and I am so glad we did.
We opted for the 2 days in Lucerne before the cruise and that was a great choice.
I can't say enough about how wonderful the entire trip was from beginning to end. Starting with our hotels in Lucerne and Basel to the ease of the airport transfer from the boat in Amsterdam to the airport.
The boat was ...

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Viking Idi
Trent0n1
10+ Cruises • Age 60s
I cruise about 2x/year. Over the past few years, half of my cruises have been on Viking. The Christmas market cruise was my first Viking river cruise. While the Christmas markets were interesting, the cruise was hampered by the high river levels that prevented ships from travelling under bridges. (Last year when I considered a river cruise I passed since at the time the rivers in Europe were too ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Idi
Hill Country Texas
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
This was our first cruise of any sort and we wanted to experience the Swiss, German, and French Christmas Markets while being pampered on the beautiful Viking River ship Idi. However high water on the Rhine River due to previous heavy rains and snow melt caused flooding and prevented our ship from passing under bridges on the Rhine River. Instead we were bused to Strasbourg, France where our ship ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Alsvin
Patricia B.
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We wanted to do a Christmas Market cruise and the preferred one was full. This sounded like a good alternative. We realize the flooded rivers were beyond the control of Viking, but the adjustment made didn't work that well for us. We were bused for hours to and from the scheduled excursions. We usually had the same amount of time at the towns, but free time to explore the towns on our own was ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Sigrun

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
What a major disappointment and complete waste of the thousands of dollars spent on this trip. My travel companions and I are experienced cruise travelers and will never travel Viking again.
The problems began several days before our sailing date, when Viking announced there would be a change in our ship without explaining the details why. Which means Viking was already aware the Rhine ...
