We have sailed with Viking before, however this was our first riverboat cruise. Viking didn’t disappoint! This was a very enjoyable experience !
After a river boat accident changed our cruise and deleted Koblenz from our itinerary, the transfer to a different Viking boat went off without a hitch. The tour of castles and bus trip were very interesting and offered another perspective of ...
Having booked this cruise with friends over 2 years before - I was anticipating how lovely it will be. I was not disappointed with the ship. I watch a lot of PBS and Viking Commercials have always made me dream of taking a river cruise. We had a close group of 14 people among an extended group of 40. The ship isn't very big so it was wonderful to not have to deal with crowds and have everyone ...
My boyfriend and I decided to take this Christmas Market cruise in celebration of his 50th birthday. Neither of us had ever had the opportunity to experience the Christmas Markets of Europe. This was the first cruise (River or Ocean) for either of us, and Viking did not disappoint. All of our transfers were seamless and easy, the ship itself was decorated for Christmas and beautiful. The staff ...
I have wanted to do a Christmas Market Cruise for a long time, I booked this with my best friend and her husband almost 2 years ago and it exceeded our expectations. It was lovely in every way. The Viking Ship was luxurious without being pretentious. The staff was fabulous and made us feel at home immediately. Everything went smoothly and was handled so professionally, even when something changed ...
We picked this cruise to enjoy the Christmas markets of the Rhine with our daughter and son-in-law. My wife and I had done the Danube Christmas markets a few years ago and that great experience made us want to do the Rhine. Viking is a perfect cruise to enjoy the ports, scenery, and historical experiences. Stops included Basel, Breisach/Freiburg, Strasbourg, Mannheim/Rudesheim, Koblenz, Cologne, ...
This was a 7 day river cruise with the option we chose to also stay 2 nights in Amsterdam at the Movenpick. When travelling with food allergies, this is the line to chose! The Maitre D' was on top of the situation at every single meal, and Viking always had delicious and inclusive options for those with allergies. The entire staff was friendly, professional, efficient, sometimes shockingly so! ...
Influenced by friends who sailed in May 2022, we booked the Christmas on the Rhine cruise with Viking for our honeymoon, November 2023. We’re in our early 40s and had an absolutely amazing time on this trip! The average and median age on the cruise was definitely 20-25 years our senior, but please don’t feel like you must be retired to enjoy a trip with Viking. While I think we were the only ...
I have always wondered what the European Christmas Markets were like. This cruise allowed me to find out! My husband and I went on this cruise as a birthday present for me. This was our first Viking cruise but will not be the last.
We stayed two nights in Paris as part of the journey. Our first excursion included a bus tour of the city as well as free time at the Christmas Market. This Market ...
My wife had always wanted to visit the Christmas markets in Europe. This cruise fit the bill perfectly, as well as coinciding with our 45th anniversary. From the start, Viking took good care of us. Planning for the Air travel portion of the trip was handled well, with 1 on 1 interaction with the planners. Our plane was 4 hours late, but we were greeted as soon as we passed through passport ...
This river cruise was absolutely fantastic!! We had such a great time! The food and staff onboard was absolutely wonderful! Every day our scheduled excursions or specialized tours were executed perfectly. Viking does such a wonderful job despite some issues .. out of their control with the high water levels … Viking went above and beyond to be sure we stayed on schedule and got to each planned ...
