It was available during the time frame we were available and it was the right amount of time for us. Plus who would not want to see Vienna & Budapest and sail on the Danube Rive on a Viking Cruise. Unfortunately it rained for three days. The river was too low to be able to go to the original destination then the river was too high to sail, The crew were fabulous and constantly changing ...

This was our Third time on Viking river cruise. The other two were 5 star trips. This time, Mother Nature played a large role in the disappointment we had. It should be said that the staff, Cruise director, Hotel Manager and the Captain were totally engaged in trying to provide a great experience in spite of the River issues. Meals were excellent Room attendants were top notch its just the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I chose this cruise because of the christmas markets, but one week before the cruise we were told that the main market in Germany was going to be closed. It was not a new holiday, so how did Viking not work around this? We ended up not getting to any christmas markets in Germany, which was the main reason why I chose this cruise. We were all very disappointed. If I knew this early enough, I would ...

I am one of those naïve and gullible people who fell for Viking River Cruises because he relied on the exaggerated, positive descriptions by the parent company. “The World's Leading River Cruise Line, The Most Awarded River Cruise, Best Inclusive Value, and the Viking® Difference” sounded, great, generous, and luxurious. I admit I had not read all reviews available on the Internet that have rated ...

The Egil was a very nice ship and the staff was top notch. Embarkationand disembarkation were smooth, and the pre-add-on was especially good. The food was excellent. The cabin was as described, although we did not expect our window to be so high that we could not see out of it. We were very disappointed with the scarcity of evening entertainment and the lack of much day-time cruising. We enjoyed ...

We did our first river cruise in August on the Viking Egil. We had a pleasant time but not an exceptional time. Wee were very frustrated by three things: 1) we had received a $200 referral credit from some friends who had used Viking but the credit never showed up in our account despite a call to Viking in June confirming the amount and our our August cruise. Certainly feels like Viking ...

The Viking River Cruise had been recommended by several of our "traveling friends". We were disappointed to find that the itinerary caters to a more sedentary customer. The staff was quite pleasant and the boat was clean and comfortable...but do not book one of the suites---there is no special service for you once you are on board---just a bigger room. The posts visited were quite interesting ...
