A wonderful and memorable experience
"In summary, all in our group agreed that Viking had+earned high marks in every category, with very suitable accommodations in the provided staterooms, interesting and well presented shore excursions, outstanding meals in the ship’s dining room and, last but not least, exceptional service by the ship’s crew that could not have been better.We found the ship to be neat and clean a Viking staff were there to greet us, check us in, and show us to our stateroom...."Read More

We enjoyed this cruise in 2019 with its magnificent shore cruises - Camargue, Lavendar fields, Lyon, Vienne, the train de l'Ardèche, and in 2023 wanted to enjoy the shore excursions on the east bank of the Rhone. We enjoyed the olive farm, Pont de Gard, Avignon, and Arles before one of us got sick. From then until the end of the cruise, we self-quarantined although we weren't required to do so ...

We were looking for something special to do with our adult children and daughter-in-law to celebrate several events all at the same time, including our wedding anniversary, milestone birthdays that went uncelebrated due to Covid-19, my son’s anniversary of employment, my 9-year retirement anniversary and Father’s Day. We selected Viking’ cruise upstream the Rhône River, from Avignon to Lyon, ...

Did the 3day Pre-Paris extension…high sped TVG Paris to Lyon where we boarded the Heimdal. The entire crew helped to make this a top drawer experience. I was disappointed in the fact that I had called and spkoken with a Viking rep about my dietary needs. However upon boarding the Maître d’ didn’t even have my name as special needs on his clip board. However Manuel took care to make sure to ...

We had always heard the Provence area of France was amazing. We wanted to see it but knew that the pace of land tours was not an option since we have some mobility issues. We decided that a River cruise may be the way to go. No suitcase out early in the morning with multiple hotels. We started with the pre trip extension to Nice which was absolutely marvelous! The hotel overlooked the ...

Viking goes above and beyond when it comes to paying attention to all those small details that you'd never think of to provide the absolutely highest standard of service. The entire crew has been so well trained in customer service that they set the bar for taking care of people. Can't wait to take another cruise with Viking. The chef provided delish meals with beautiful presentations. ...

My wife and I took our first cruise of any kind on the Viking Heimdal and could not have been more pleased. The friendliness, attentiveness, and assistance by the staff was extraordinary. As "newbies", we especially appreciated of having Viking staff take us in hand and accompany us during our entire journey from arriving at our embarkation airport (Marseilles) to our entry into airport security ...

I just completed my 5th Viking cruise. This was my 4th river cruise. My daughter selected this cruise to celebrate her 45th birthday. She had not been to France, so we added the pre-extension in Paris. A Viking rep and private driver were waiting for us when we exited baggage claim at CDG. Springtime in Paris is beautiful with all the chestnut trees blooming in shades of white and pink. I ...

My wife and I chose this choose to celebrate her birthday. The one place that she always wanted to go was to Provence on a River Cruise and was not disappointed. We also bought the Viking Paris Extension, which was well worth it. From the initial booking thru returning to our final destination, Viking always seemed to be there to cater to our every need. Upon landing in Marseille, we were ...

We had taken almost annually cruises on Oceania. We had heard many great things about river cruises and decided during COVID to book this to try them out. We tend to book 1 to 2 years in advance. Well we were surprised as Viking had a representative from the time we cleared customs, until we entered customs going home. We also purchased a pre cruise in Nice and post in ...

Lyon and other towns have so much history, especially as the headquarters of the French resistance during world war II. Viking does a great job of education and the guest lecturer that came aboard was very informative. I loved Arles, with the roman ruins and Van Gogh's historical presence, and saw where he painted several of his paintings. The ship was kept spectacularly clean by the staff! ...
