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 ...
We've only been on two Viking cruises and i think we are done with this company. The ships to us are very basic and amenities provided during the cruise were really minimal. I would rate this company and mid-range and certainly not luxury level. I felt the port stops for Viking were extremely inconvenient and they would frequently provide misleading descriptions of walking distances such as ...
1. Bed is old and small, size like a car seat.
2. The food is terrible in the first three days, a lot of leave off. They cook the leftovers for lunch. Lol
3. A few days need to wake up at 4am, because they request to put the luggage out at 5:30am. Crazy!!!
4. Excursion (included), everyday is church and Christmas markets. Sometimes church is small, Christmas markets is small like only 5 ...
This was our Third Viking River cruise and our 6th viking cruise....It will be our last! We chose this cruise because we had done a Viking Christmas Market cruise before and we had a credit left over from covid that was due to expire. In retrospect, I should have let the credit expire! Evidently this was a fairly new itinerary and, for sure, one that Viking new nothing about. In at least two ...
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 ...
My husband and I are in our 30s and we still felt at home on the Viking trip. All of our tour guides were absolutely great. Had a lot of knowledge and we’re very nice really appreciated all of the staff. They were friendly, and still made all of our excursions work, and got to go to every port, even though the Rhine river was high. I do think we had a little less shopping time in free time in each ...
I was interested in visiting Prague and Paris and the price seemed very reasonable. I was not disappointed. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. The city tours were very educational and enjoyed all the walking. the staff on the Viking Hild were exceptionally kind and accommodating. The food was excellent as were the drinks. I appreciated the choice of entrees available. Visiting Prague was my ...
This was our first river cruise. We chose Viking because of its excellent reputation and the Prague to Paris itinerary looked exciting. Viking took care of everything...air flight, transfers, etc. A Viking rep met us at Prague airport and someone from Viking was with us the entire time. The Prague hotel and tour were excellent. Every detail was worked out as we made our way to the Hilde. The ship ...
It was my 1st time and I wanted to do something different. I met some wonderful people, had great food, and experienced different parts of the world in 7 days. I started in Basel, Switzerland, and then to Germany, France, and Amsterdam. Played card games in the lounge with two wonderful ladies I met on the journey. Met a very attentive, helpful, caring, fantastic crew. Shout out to Roberto and ...
This was our first Viking River cruise, but surely not our last. We had previously cruised with Vantage River cruises who have now gone bankrupt. We have also cruised on many Ocean Cruises with other lines. I've got to say this was much better. The Rhine and Mozel were both flooded, making a real river cruise impossible but the crew did such a fantastic job, we hardly noticed.
Although we ...
