1-10 of 17 Europe - River Cruise Viking Hermod Europe - River Reviews
Six of us traveled together from three different states. The ship was very nice - clean, attractive. Food was very good as was food service.
A Viking river cruise is like a resort on water so a bit boring for active adults. I would suggest an included excursion in both the morning and afternoon. The paid optional excursions are generally more interesting than the regular included ...
We wanted to see France from the River view. We have been on River cruises with 2 other companies. On the Rhine,Main and Danube. We picked Viking because of others reviews and our research. The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable and had Great interaction with all the people. The Maitre-d was the key to a well oiled crew. Peter worked alongside his awesome servers and bartenders. They all ...
This was my first River Cruise and my first Viking Cruise, and the experience did not disappoint! We did experience a minor snag while sailing as our air conditioning went out on the ship but to no fault of the crew. I wholeheartedly blame Mother Nature as France and most of the world was experiencing an extreme heat wave. The ships A/C condenser just could not handle the weather. That being said, ...
Our first river cruise, Passau to Budapest aboard the Hermod. Overall very pleased with the cruise. We did the pre-cruise in Prague, everything was well organized by Viking. The tree days gave us time to adjust to the time change before boarding the boat. The Viking included excursions in Prague and on the boat were top-notch, their fleet of buses were noteworthy for cleanliness and ...
We recently cruised the Danube River on the Viking Hermod riverboat. This was our second river cruise with Viking, having cruised on the Rhine River in June of 2018. Overall, while we greatly enjoyed the trip, we both felt that some aspects of the trip were below the level of what we experienced last year.
We booked this cruise a few months before the sailing and the only cabins remaining ...
We started our trip a day early in order to acclimatize after the long flight and booked the extra night at the hotel being used in conjunction with the cruise.
We had already cruised the upper Danube with another company and chose Viking to travel the lower Danube, initially because they offered the cruise on the dates we wanted to travel. It was a good decision as the included excursions ...
I chose this cruise based on the reviews by prior cruisers and the ads seen on TV for Viking. The ship was a nice size and the cabin (balcony) was adequate. There was plenty of storage so no problems there. Several times we were tied up next to other boats so the balcony could not be used that much in some of the ports as you were virtually inches from the balcony of the the other ship. There ...
This is my 3rd Viking cruise. We (my husband and I) choose this one because of the other two great experiences - 10/25/2014 Viking Helvettla Rhine River
4/29/2015 Viking Schumann Elbe River. However, the Danube Waltz (Germany, Austria and Hungry), left us somewhat disappointed.
The food was just 'okay'. Believe it or not, my husband was not able to get a "hot" cup of coffee for the first ...
If Internet access is not important to you then Viking is a fine, even a great, cruise line. However, if you really need (or want) internet access then try some other line, and do some research before you book. We took the Viking Danube Waltz River Cruise May 8-16 on the Viking Hermod, starting in Budapest, plus two extra days in Prague. Everything was great, as advertised, except for internet ...
This cruise came highly recommended by my mother and stepfather as they sailed a few years prior. I had never been on a cruise so was a bit hesitant that I might feel "stuck", but LOVED the ports and trips into all the cities! We saw so much and did a great deal of walking- which was great. All excursions were highly organized and the staff was efficient and professional. The entire staff were ...
