Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Heimdal

We enjoyed this cruise. It was very relaxing and well executed by crew. The ship was great and the service was as good as it gets. We chose this cruise, because we wanted to see Provence, France. I wish the cruise had actually covered more geography and towns in Provence, but this was the avenue we chose. The included excursions were well executed and the optional excursions were for the most ...

We like France and this was a part of France we hadn't seen before. The overall trip was excellent, as were the side excursions (weather and forest fires are completely outside of Viking's control, of course). The only downsides were the sailing dates ensured that we arrived in Lyon on Sunday and couldn't see the interior of the cathedral (many stores were closed, too). Similarly, we toured Vienne ...

Having sailed previously on a Viking River cruise from Bordeaux and one of their Mediterranean ocean cruises, we were delighted to find nearly "back to back" sailings on the Duoro and Rhone. This review relates to the Rhone cruise on board the Heimdal. As always, the food was a delicious blend of local specialties, Scandinavian delicacies, and rock solid American/European fare--well prepared and ...

Preface and background: This was our 2nd river cruise and our first one on Viking. We sailed with Viking Ocean in 2019, so we knew what to expect with the feel and look of the ship. We had been in France for 5 weeks traveling independently when we boarded the Heimdal. This fact alone might explain many of my impressions of the Rhône cruise experience.
The Viking Heimdal was clean, sleek, and ...

It is really hard to criticize this company. It would be like kicking a puppy. They are just so eager and try so hard. Before selecting this cruise we saw some river cruise shows on the travel channel. We were put off by the passengers being one step form a nursing home and the lame entertainment. No, all our well-traveled friends assured us. Viking is nothing like that. Hate to say it, but that's ...

Did the Rhine and now wanted to see France. Exceptional arrangements made by viking to stay in Nice for three days prior to departure. Flights could have been scheduled better. Long waits.The service was unbelievable. Everyone was so very friendly,helpful, especially our cabin cleaner. She must love her job because she was always there with a big smile. Thank you. We met so many wonderful people ...

Viking charged a 400% greater airfare upgrade than what was available from the airline directly.
Charges to upgrade from Economy to Premium Economy
Air France website = $378 pp
Viking = $1495 pp.
We booked our river cruise 7 months before sailing at 50% off list price plus $445 per person for international airfare (supposed to be savings). We were charged $445 pp ...

Everything on the boat was excellent. The food, the staff and service were top shelf. We stayed in a Veranda Suite. The tours were average but the scenery was not very interesting while cruising, unlike our previous Viking tour from Budapest to Amsterdam. Every place we stopped was over crowded with tourists. At several stops we had to stand in long lines to see the attraction. It was ...

I have done another Viking River cruise a few years ago and was quite satisfied so chose Viking to do another one. I have a garlic intolerance/allergy which was very well addressed last cruise but not so this time. With being a French river cruise, I was hoping for a French chef but this chef was from Poland and he put garlic in almost everything so my choices were very limited and in fact on the ...

This was our second Viking Cruise. Everything is so effortless. We have very little to concern ourselves with because Viking thinks of everything. Once again the only problem that we encountered was the level of the water. This time it was too much water. We had to disembark a day earlier because otherwise; there could have been a problem with getting everyone off of the ship. We like Viking ...
