Great cruise...no thanks to Covid
"But we'll still remember it as the worst (no fault to Viking) river cruise we ever taken.Despite this we elected to go on the cruise, in part, because Viking was taking a lot a precautions to protect passengers...."Read More

This is probably our fifth or sixth cruise with Viking. Needless to say, we really do like their ships, their staff, pricing and their professionalism. It would take a lot to get us to switch to another river cruise line. We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise in Provence earlier this year. Lots of very interesting sights and information to learn about the history of this part of France. The only ...

This was our third Viking.. after the Danube at Christmas (fabulous!) and the Rhine Getaway. We recommend Viking to all friends and family, as the experience is as close to perfect as you can get. From the preplanning and attentive calls when we had questions, to the air travel they handled, it all went smoothly. The trip itself was lovely! We were lucky with great weather the entire week. ...

We selected this cruise solely because of the dates and location. And we would could not have selected a more perfect experience. The crew was magnificent; attentive, friendly, cheerful, kind, and seemed to enjoy their work experience as much as we enjoyed our vacation. Our cabin, a veranda state room, was compact but comfortable and beautifully appointed. The food was lovely, with choices to ...

We enjoyed vacationing in the South of France on our second Viking River Cruise, so much! We went in June and had great weather for walking around medieval villages, old time cities, and wine and lavender countrysides that are so rich in history and as if frozen in time. The tours (both included and optional) covered historical sites and moments presented by local tour guides that were both ...

A river cruise through southern France was the perfect way to get to know this region, with the least amount of stress. Viking provided a most comfortable accommodation on board, excellent food, outstanding guided tours and wonderful service overall. We enjoyed our extended tour in Paris as well with Viking. The bonus on Viking is getting to know other passengers and having companionship while ...

because we knew from previous experience the high standard of Viking and we had not been to the south of France before we chose the Lyon and Provence trip which met our expectations perfectly. We particularly enjoyed the narrow gauge railway trip in to the mountains but the highlight was the trip to the Camargue and the the close up contact with the wild horses as well as the tractor trip into ...

This was a beautiful trip up the Rhone river from Avignon to Lyon, France. First, the flight from the USA to France. If possible upgrade your seats and connections. We upgraded our seats to United’s economy plus, which was fairly comfortable. Wish we had upgraded our connections for a more direct flight both ways. Learned in Brussels that the common practice in Europe seemed to be to post the ...

We loved the whole cruise. We were amazed by the Aqueduct.

We wanted to see the south of France. It was amazing and beautiful. We were very surprised by the amount of Roman ruins. We loved seeing those structures. The Aqueduct was huge and so well preserved. I had no idea that silk was made in France for many years. That is something we learned on the cruise. Each time we travel with Viking we learn so much. The guides on each tour really know a lot and ...

Exceeded all my expectations of a river cruise. Very relaxing and educational trip. This being my first river cruise, I felt spoiled the overall experience of the laid-back atmosphere and all that it included. Food and wine selections were over the top and the service was excellent. Every port of call was interesting and we were able to spend time without rushing to see everything and ...

A wonderful itinerary through beautiful Provence, highlighting both well-known and not-so-well known spots along the Rhône. Activities director Feliz amazing and the entire crew so welcoming and professional. Food, excursions, and on-board events all excellent and fun. We loved the ship’s atmosphere which always felt relaxing yet energized and focused on providing us with the finest river cruise ...
