This has always been on my bucket list. A river Cruise was the ticket. The overall cruise on the Expression was fine. the cabins are nice and provide adequate room. The service and staff were all very nice. We were disappointed with the food. The selection and the quality were a bit below expectations. Great presentation but dinners were not to my liking. Lunches and breakfast were fine. ...

The Paris and Loire extension was excellent, well timed, with comfortable and good hotels. Surprisingly, enough time to do a mini city tour of Paris by taxi (no traffic, Parisians are on vacation in August) and easy restaurant reservations. Busy at the Chateaus we visited, but our guides whisked us right by them. Traffic much less than expected, only near Bordeaux somewhat ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was planned pre Covid. Finally was able to experience Viking. I am sure I would enjoy any of the destinations. Very well organized. Accommodations were pleasant. Staff was always there to assist. The cities and towns we visited were very interesting. I’ve been to cologne a couple other times on a WWII tour but enjoyed seeing new areas in and around Cologne. The included daily town ...

Everything about this cruise from Paris - Honfleur - Paris was excellent, with the exception of the food at dinner. Superb staff that are welcoming, efficient, kind and always ready to offer assistance. Public areas, cabin and bathroom very well designed for space and comfort. Thoughtful amenities in the cabins such as hiking sticks and water bottles. Good entertainment offering on the cabin ...

Cruise was relaxing, embarkation was a very easy process, as was disembarkation. The pick up process at the airport was quite smooth. Our stateroom was a bit cramped compared to ocean cruises, not much room to move around the bed and no chair in the room to sit on. Food quality was not what we expected, it definitely has room for improvement. Most was very bland at lunch and dinner. Breakfast ...

Our second Viking River cruise did not disappoint. Knowing what to expect this time made packing and expectations easy. Our cruise director, captain and ship manager went above and beyond. Our weather was not up to par yet we couldn’t control that. The ship provided umbrellas for those rainy days and made sure excursions took into account the rain. The cruise was the right mixture of excursion and ...

My wife and I had been thinking of doing a river cruise for some time, having taken 5 sea cruises over the years. The idea of sitting on the deck of a river cruise ship watching the scenery go by seemed intriguing. We were surprised and disappointed however, to discover that our river cruise sailed mostly at night and docked all day. 80 percent of the sightseeing was done while in port. The big ...

Always wanted to visit Monet’s garden and the Normandy landing beaches. Lovely crew very efficient Cruise manager, good food. I do prefer the Viking light wood everywhere and Scandinavian design but the Tapestry 2 (dark wood everywhere) very comfortable. The excursions were all very good and well organised. Not too much entertainment or lectures on where you are going on either Avalon or Viking. ...

We wanted to see France from the River view. We have been on River cruises with 2 other companies. On the Rhine,Main and Danube. We picked Viking because of others reviews and our research. The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable and had Great interaction with all the people. The Maitre-d was the key to a well oiled crew. Peter worked alongside his awesome servers and bartenders. They all ...

We have been on 12 ocean cruises and wanted to try a river cruise after hearing good things from friends. This was a much more intimate cruise with only 185 passengers. Service was excellent and we enjoyed many of the ports which were in walking distances of the ship. The included excursions were informative using local guides. We wished that there was more free time after the scheduled tour. ...
