We had been on three previous Viking River cruises and decided to try something different. We wanted to do two weeks in Italy and three days in Paris and three in Barcelona. The location and sailing date fit our schedule perfectly.
We were hauling our bags from the hotel when the crew spotted us a block from the boat, Several of them jogged up the block to greet us and help with the bags. It ...
Viking was just great. However, due to the strikes in France, we didn't cruise much but used buses and spent the last two nights in a hotel.
The staff was wonderful. The vegetarian options for meals could have been better, especially once we were off the ship.
Viking extended a 1/3 $ voucher. I think a partial refund would have been better.
We saw amazing sites and our guides were ...
This was my second Viking cruise, and third river cruise. I would definitely book a Viking cruise again in the future. It is a top-notch experience and allows all of the amenities of a boutique hotel, floating along in the midst of such idyllic landscapes! The crew love their jobs- it is obvious! Service was 100% all day, every day. From our room attendant, to the chef and his crew, to our ...
France's Finest included two cruises, we started in Paris with a cruise on the Seine on the Viking Radgrid. We were not overly impressed with this cruise but hoped the second cruise would be special. But it was not, in fact it wasn't as good as the first.
For both cruises we had high expectations that were not met. The Delling is bigger than the Radgrid and it seemed as if the crew struggled ...

We chose this itinerary as we wanted to preface it with 5 nights on our in Paris. We paid the surcharge to have Viking handle the air arrangements. Be sure you check everything! On the return, Viking air desk had us with a 6 hour layover after an 8 hour transatlantic flight! I checked and there was an earlier flight with only a 95 minute layover. I insisted they make the change and they did. ...
Our cruise on the Delling down the Rhone from Lyon to Avignon had many excellent features (like service, food, and accommodations on the ship) but also some disappointments. There were about 185 passengers; any more would have been too many for us.
The first thing to be said about it is that there was very little cruising and a lot of walking and bus-riding. In retrospect, we suppose this was ...
Having resisted river cruising for many years, we finally capitulated (ran out of excuses for not taking one) and booked a Provence cruise on the Viking Delling. The booking and upfront experience was good. The website was easy to navigate and the cruise materials arrived in plenty of time with luggage tags, cruise book and other information. Good first impression.
Our package included free ...
This cruise was my wife and I third cruise with Viking. It started out great. The flight from Los Angeles to Frankfurt, Germany left on time and we had TSA pre-screen at no extra cost. We arrived in Frankfurt on time and got to our gate for the connecting flight to Marseilles. That's when things went downhill from there. Our flight to Marseilles was cancelled just before boarding time. Now this is ...
It was a present from my son for our birthdays. The food was A+ and the service was A+. I have Crohn's and could not leave the ship very often. I wish they would have had a shuttle once we got to Lyon to get to the shopping areas. The views were beautiful from the top deck and the waiters treated you like royalty. The wines were fantastic - every meal. Go, enjoy and love what you see in ...
Viking was highly recommended by friends, and a river cruise you get to see many different towns near the river, and the tour guides tell you the history of each stop.
The nice thing about a river cruise is that you have not only the hotel, all the meals, and the tour guides for each port.
Relaxing, it was not, because each morning you were up early, first to get your breakfast, then to get ...
