Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Embla

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s
This was our first-ever river cruise experience. We did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos about the experience so we felt pretty well prepared for the trip. What we found is most people's pros/cons experiences were pretty consistent with ours. Knowing what we know now we also would have planned our trip differently. I'll explain.
This journey started in Budapest with one night ...

The staff was great. The food was great. The tours were great. The room was good except for the temperature being either freezing or burning alive hot and water pooling on the balcony (no drain hole on edge).
Unfortunately 5 out of 6 in our group contracted Covid19. Looking back there was lots of people coughing and talk about a lot of people having chest congestion. Needless to say this put a ...

We just come back from a cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Viking and after reading all the opinions of other travellers we decided to have our input too. We travel with them exactly when the low water in Europe affected everybody cruises and I think is fair to identify two different aspects of the issue. On one hand a big disappointment: you except Viking to be honest and transparent with ...

RIver Cruising is a totally diff experience. We would not do it again. Nice to see so many spots but outside of a few ports if you are a traveler and have seen a lot of Europe there is nothing new here. Boats lack amenities such a space, gym, spa, dining choices.
Our suite was nice however. We were thankful to have the balcony and Living room as the top deck was closed for the last 4 days of ...

I chose this cruise for the 2 for 1 sale, and it was supposed to go from Bucharest to Amsterdam. The first news we were given was that we would be changing boats in Budapest. Not ideal, but manageable.
The good. The Cruise director was amazing. His nightly port talks were not only informative but full of comedic content. He could easily make a good living as a night club comedian. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
I wanted to go with my friend. i always wanted to tour these countries but a bus tour, checking into a new hotel every night and checking out next morning did not appeal to me. Also all that sitting on a bus would have been painful.
The disappointing things were: no wifi for first several days until router replaced, only day in Vienna was a Sunday and all stores were closed. Because of water ...

We chose this cruise because it covered countries that we had not visited yet.
Hungary and Croatia were the highlights of the cruise. Romania and Bulgaria were disappointing and we could have skipped them. Some tours were very good and interesting but others were a waste of time.
Service aboard the Embla was good as expected since we had already cruised aboard the ship Odin and consider it ...

This was our 2nd Viking cruise, the other being in 2014 in Russia for 14 days was wonderful and exciting, now comes my coparison. This cruise "The Grand European Tour" from Budapest to Amsterdam on the Embla was average at best. We did the pre and post cruise extensions. Lack of local entertainment on board, 2 of which were musical and very nice and a local glass blower who was more about selling ...

The Constant Cruiser
6-10 Cruises • Age 80s
The dining room seats 180 people. On our previous river cruises, there were only 120 passengers, not 180. The ceiling in the Embla's dining room is very low. This produces a terrible sound quality. It was so noisy I had to shout to be heard by the person sitting right next to me. However, the service and the food were excellent.
There is actually only one day of river cruising on this ...

Sailed from Bucharest to Budapest; visited former Communist controlled countries. Many of these countries are struggling, still, due to corruption in governments, unemployment, little to no infrastructure, etc. However, found people were wonderful. It was depressing to see so many "left-overs" from the Communist regime, i.e., falling-down buildings, little to no new construction or housing, ...
