France River Cruises Reviews

First off, the crew of the Skadi was wonderful, all cheerful and positive. I never once encountered anybody that was not extremely professional and courteous. The food was amazing, top notch. Also, Jeffrey did an amazing job at keeping our stateroom immaculate and well stocked with towels, water, and bathing products. However, the problem lies with the excursions. Aside for the tour of the ...

We had high expectations for our Viking river cruise along the Rhine river, unfortunately everything was a little flat and slightly disappointing. The food was good but not great, the service was nice but not exceptional and there was little entertainment on the ship. We are active and in our early 60's and it felt like the cruise caters to an older slower going crowd. Breakfast was the best ...

We chose this cruise because of date and the included airfare. We had never been on this type of cruise before. The smallness of the boat was a negative for us due to the weather. There is so little space to be when you are not able to be outside on deck. Always felt a bit claustrophobic on the boat. We enjoyed ourselves, met some fun people, and generally felt the cruise was a good ...

Viking seems to have figured out how to have a nice, relaxing time, on board. The ship is beautiful, and the staff truly seems to take pride in it and their work. Everything was clean, food was delicious and service was wonderful. However, we signed up for this as a Christmas Market cruise and there was very little of that! At each port, we got off the ship and were (literally) marched miles ...

This was the second Scenic cruise we were on. The first was so much better than the second. There were about 20 Americans and over 100 Brits, with the balance from Canada and one Australian couple. Before I get to the particulars of the cruise, I would like to bring up one important point, The Price. When we got to talking with the other cruisers, we found out that the Brits paid from one fourth ...

This trip was postponed several times due to covid. As a reward for booking another cruise we were promised several on board ship benefits. When the time came to cash them in we were told that we did not have them by our travel agent. I called Viking directly and they told me that they would not speak with me because we had an agent but they did tell me that we had some credits. After very ...

Please see the positive things about the ship and the staff at the bottom of this review. This review is really about the pre-cruise experience and the most useless air travel department in the world. We've traveled a lot. We know. (to give you an idea of our travel experience, together we have over 4 million miles of air travel. This is not our first rodeo.) The most useless telephone number ...

BORING! If you like to go on a river cruise to do very little this is the one for you.There is very little to see at the ports, small towns with nothing in them of interest. An example is day 2, a two hour drive through the Black Forest to see a cuckoo clock factory and gift shop. The ride back was another hour and a half. Total waste of a day. We skipped the tour of Cologne and walked around ...

Ok for people who can do nothing for themselves. Dining is not at all flexible. Very limited choices. Dinig table for 2 is just about impossible. Tours are dictated by the slowest person involved. Bathroom stops are the tour's top priority not what you are there to see. Very rigid scheduling. e.g. Have your bags out of your room for pick up and clear out by 7AM, Eat at 7;30 and be at the lobby to ...

Traveled with Viking 4 other times. We had a group of 21 friends and family on this cruise. I was not the only person disappointed. The Bus tours substituted for cancelled ports not worth the time spent on road, example: we traveled 6 hours round trip and had less than 2 hours at one destination. Had to switch ships mid way due to low water. The food and service on first ship far superior to ...
