We were asked by one of our relatives who had been on a Viking river cruise 5 years earlier if we would like to join them on the Beautiful Danube cruise this year. We decided to join them. I must say that from the time we landed in Budapest until the time we let Munich for Chicago, the service we received was spectacular. They met our plane in Budapest and got us to our hotel. They had a service ...
This was my first travel experience outside of the United States; I had no expectations or prior experience. I knew not what to expect. From the time we landed at our destination city, Budapest, until we departed Prague, Viking handled every single detail without a flaw. We faced river challenges and transportation changes, and Viking was on top of everything and kept everyone on board ...
We always wanted to sail on the beautiful “blue” Danube. We enjoy the rich history and culture of Europe opposed to going to resorts like Cancun and the like. We are not beach people. We took an excursion at every port. The guides were always very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We especially loved Salzburg. While in Salzburg we purchased a beautiful water color by a local artist. ...
I wanted to visit some major cities in Germany, Austria and Hungary. This cruise blew my expectations out of the water for a river cruise! The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable! The decor of the entire shop was beautiful! The fresh flowers everywhere were such an exotic touch. The coffee station was awesome and every coffee choice delicious. The cleanliness of the entire ship was impecable. ...
Viking Cruise: The service was top grade. They only wanted to please us and were always so polite. The food was excellent! We had many choices and were always pleased!
Our explorers suite was great with lots of room to relax. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We had an included excursion at each stop the ship made. The guides were great and let us know about each place we stopped. ...
We received an Email with an offer of free air travel, we were planning to travel to Scotland renting a car and explore Scotland and England. However the cost of air fare and car rental was the same as the cruise, so we decided to try it out.
I was pleasantly surprised. We had an extension in Budapest for 2 nights the hotel was amazing. We used hop on hop off for the 2 days and enjoyed our ...
This was our fourth cruise with Viking, and we were pleased with the entire experience from start to finish. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and were accompanied by six of our friends. We extended our cruise by adding a couple extra days in Budapest at the beginning and a couple days in Prague at the end. We signed up for several extra excursions in addition to the included tours, which ...
This was our first trip to Europe, we began planning in 2019 and delayed due to the pandemic until 2023 hoping all the sites would be fully open again. This was an absolutely beautiful experience from the moment we arrived on the ship until the last day (when I discovered that Mimosas and Bloody Marys had been available as part of the breakfast every day...oh well). We planned to be on a Viking ...
Our good friends have been on several Viking cruises. They raved about everything! So we decided to try one, it was fabulous! The boat itself was beautiful, clean, quiet, elegantly casual. The crew was excellent, friendly, professional, kind, funny. They took care of our every wish. The bath products were wonderful. I just wish I could have purchased some. The transfers went very smoothly. ...
For many years, I had been planning and wanting to go on the Danube river cruise with Viking… I had seen the commercials, I had friends and relatives who had done it. It lived up to the expectations and even exceeded them! The ship is beautiful , it's small enough that it's very easy to navigate, but big enough to feel like you have plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy… Our state room was immaculate ...
