Vienna to Europe Cruise Reviews

I really wanted to see the infamous Christmas markets-and this trip delivered. Several good markets in Vienna, and Regensburg - beware the Nuremburg market may be too crowded for some- Lots of interesting and informative tours and enjoyable bonus experiences ($add on- Opera night and Schönbrunn Castle - both well worth it). Happy hour daily includes free drinks, and liberal pouring at meal times. ...

We selected the October 15, 2023 Viking River cruise Capitals of Eastern Europe on the Viking Kadlin based on our previous wonderful experience on the Waterways of The Tsars on the Viking Truvor. The day before we left for our Prague pre-excursion we received an email stating “As you may be aware, the Danube River is currently experiencing low water levels.” NO I was not aware of low water levels; ...

This cruise was a part of a school tour. Itinerary included several ports we have never been to, and it was on the Danube. The ship is new and in good condition. The service was excellent. We thought the food was probably some of the best we have had on a cruise ship. The portions were just the right size. The stops and tours were good. Enjoyed the bike tours that were included. The issue ...

This was our first cruise onboard Riverside, which we took knowing the Mozart was previously part of the Crystal cruise line. We received a tip that it was an amazing ship — and we were not disappointed. The ship itself is beautiful, and very spacious for a river cruise. Our French balcony room was well appointed, and felt larger than we would have anticipated or than you see on other river ...

Everything on this cruise ran late, from embarkation to disembarkation. At first we were told it was due to the low water level at Danube and things will be back to normal once we leave the Danube. But we never caught up with the schedule. We skipped a port - Passau. Waited for the boat to show up 3 times after shore excursions - once for 1.5 hours at an industrial yard. Ate dinner at 9 pm ...

This would be our 4th cruise with Scenic and this time, to an area we'd not seen before. The trip down the Danube took us to seven different countries over 16 days, 5 of which we'd not seen before. The river ports and inland sites we visited were interesting and the tour guides were great at giving background information and history of the city and country or the particular point of interest. ...

We chose this cruise to round off our European river cruises collection with Scenic. This was cruise number eight for us and we have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. We were a bit spoilt by the first one as it was a cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam visiting several wonderful Christmas Markets along the way. The only thing missing was some festive snow. However, our cruise director came over ...

The Riverside Cruise along the Danube is not just a five-star experience; it's a true six-star gem. I've never felt so pampered and well-taken care of by a venue and its staff. The level of hospitality here is unparalleled. The cuisine is nothing short of exceptional. Our group savored an impressive array of 30 different dishes daily, and not a single one left us disappointed. The Vintage Room ...

I chose the Riverside Mozart for the boat itself, knowing it had been recently renovated by Crystal before it changed hands. I knew nothing about the new Riverside line and took a leap, hoping that the food and service would equal the boat. I can confidently say that I was not disappointed. I cannot find one complaint with any of my experiences on the boat, from the room to the public spaces to ...

I always wanted to visit Bulgaria and Romania. I had visited Vienna and Budapest before but everywhere else was new to me. I must commend Michael, the Program Director for an outstanding job with all the intricate logistics of getting 177 people where they wanted to go and especially for dealing with the issues of a shortened cruise due to three ships aground. His historical knowledge is ...
