Viking Vienna Cruise Reviews

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; ...

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 ...

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 ...

I travelled 11-19 Dec 2010 on Viking Legend's Christmas Market Cruise on the Danube. I wish I'd read previous reviews...particularly the one which spoke of the ship breaking down. We experienced the same. On the first day of sailing the extraction pumps failed and flooded all the bathrooms, then within an hour, the power went out and the boat stopped. As we were doing the Vienna to Nuremburg "up ...
