Vienna to Europe Cruise Reviews

This was our third time River Cruising with Viking. And things got off to a rocky start with an estate room that smelled like sewer gas and the crew not doing anything to remedy the problem. The shore excursions seemed stretched at times like they had no idea how to fill the time. And then when they had a good excursion they rushed the groups and failed to factor in shopping or just walking ...

We booked the Grand European cruise for the chance to see the scenic rivers and towns along the way. We were switched to the Egdir just before embarkation and the crew and staff were amazing. The included excursions were well chosen and organized and provided a great overview of each port. We chose add on excursions of the Mozart concert in Vienna, Top of Cologne, Rothenburg ob der Taub and ...

Capitals of eastern Europe was our 10th cruise with Viking and a kind of a mix bag of feelings. It’s obvious that Viking started to cut the corners: the food was not so exquisite like before sometimes bland or overcooked, time in ports was enough just to buy one of the optional excursion (very annoying sometimes as we like to explore ourself the places we visit), the RINDA ship was old with a ...

This was our 6 cruises with Viking and it was our best trip ever. We decided to take the new itinerary “Capitals of Europe” because we never had the chance to travel to this part of Europe. Viking Rinda it was not a very new ship and of course needed a maintenance soon as us and couple of other passengers we had problems with smelly toilets, internet and temperature in our cabin. But the ...

The cruise included places we never visited before making it sound very interesting. I felt although it was interesting, many of the villages did not have enough to see or do. Another issue we ran into is that we traveled on Easter and Orthodox Easter and many places of interest were closed on both Sundays and Mondays. We were also disappointed that we were basically left on our on the second day ...

We chose this cruise because we are extremely interested in Central European history and all things Danube. At the time we booked this cruise Uniworld was severely discounting certain cruise destinations including this one as they re-start river cruise operations in Europe. It was published somewhere (perhaps on Cruise Critic) that the River Princess was being renovated in 2020 for the 2021 ...

Decided on CroisiEurope for my first river cruise - 5 nights roundtrip from Vienna. Cabin I went for a cabin on the top deck and was glad I did. Beds were really comfortable and the room was very well appointed with floor to ceiling windows. The bathroom was fairly basic and quite small but it did the job. Dining There is one dining room with allocated tables for the entire voyage. ...

Quite simply, for the money, river cruising is not worth it - for US. For others it may be, but when you calculate what you are paying daily (approx $1k EUR for our upgraded (VERY SMALL) room), we feel it's definitely not worth it. I would highly recommend researching everything in detail before doing a cruise. Without writing an essay, examples of disappointment include: - Food was mostly ...

I chose this trip because my mother wanted to do the Christmas markets. It sounded fun too. She has taken 16 Grand Circle trips in the past and had always had nothing but amazing things to say about them. As a matter of fact she would always compare regular cruises to her “wonderful” Grand Circle River Cruises. She would criticize every cruise line we traveled on again with Grand Circle being so ...

I have been wanting to cruise the Danube and Rhine rivers so when this reasonably priced 9 day CroisiEurope cruise came up I booked it for me and my husband. This cruise line is not one of the more popular ones so I did not know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised to find a spacious and very clean cabin on the main deck. The window was so wide offering panoramic views of the passing river ...
