Review of the Viking River/Bus Cruise Hild, July 12 - July 26, 2022, with Alps pre-tour.
"Would have been lovely on a 75F day, and would have welcome if the tour description had included a 50 minute stop at who knows where on one of the hottest days of the year - this after an already long coach ride.Fortunately, the bus was able to navigate down to the winery (otherwise, they would have had to call in the coroner) for the long ride back to the ship, waiting outside of Strasbourg...."Read More

Love Viking - Cruise Director did a great job. The places we went to were very interesting and memorable. The dining experience was excellent every day. Great organization in getting us to and from the ship. The coach that was not a Viking coach that we had was not in very good shape and the seats were very tight. The Viking coaches were much better. Loved the history lessons we ...

This was our 2nd Viking cruise. We love Viking. They take great care of you and we don't have to worry about details! I was a little disappointed that we didn't see more of Paris. It had been many years since I had been in Paris and we were disappointed that we only had about 3-4 hours to drive around. Our bus driver dropped us off near Notre Dame and then he got lost and couldn't find us ...

We chose this cruise mainly because we wanted to visit Switzerland. The river boat part was fine--the typical scenery, vineyards, castles, and quaint towns. I was surprised and enjoyed learning about the history of some of the oldest German cities, founded by the Romans much earlier than I realized. The Guttenberg Museum demonstration was fascinating. We didn't choose any optional ...

Actually we started our cruise in Zurich and ended in Paris. We sailed on the Herja to start with, changed because of the low water level in the Rhine, then changed ships by diversion along the way on Coaches to the Hild. A slight bump in our otherwise wonderful cruise. Both crews were just super organized in the transition process. Our Program director James was actually Superman in disguise, I ...

This will be a recap of our recent Viking River trip, with the pre-cruise package, from Zurich to Paris. The pre-cruise package added Geneva and Zermatt to the itinerary. Being South Florida residents, we opted for the Viking plus Air service to get our preferred direct flights from Miami to Zurich and Paris to Miami. We booked Business class on Swiss Air from Miami (so-so service and rather ...

Cruising good; hotel accommodations could be more client convenient

Interested in river cruise in Europe that was mostly in region at least one of us hadn’t been before. So the hotel accommodations related to cruise and post-excursion is in general that for the older population that makes up most of Viking’s clients, walk-in showers should be standard, NOT tub/shower combination! Specifically, the faulty internet service at the hotel Pullman Paris Montparnasse was ...

We traveled with Viking on the Paris to the Swiss Alps Tour river cruise from Paris to Geneva Switzerland. The accommodations and service in the Hild Long-ship were fantastic. The embarkation from Paris airport was excellent; we stayed at the Meridian Etoile (sp) hotel in Paris for 3 nights and then on to the cruise. When we arrived in Paris, the Viking representatives were there to meet us at ...

We chose this cruise primarily for itinerary as we wanted to start in Paris. We did a pre-extension on our own in Paris in order to see the beaches of Normandy, where my father in law spent the week after D-Day. We also did a Viking post-excursion 4 day trip in Switzerland. Embarkation, disembarkation, and all transfers were run exceptionally smoothly. Viking has a well oiled machine. Food ...

This was a 'bucket list' cruise which did not disappoint. We had sailed with Viking in China (5 stars) and this could not compare with that experience. That said, it delivered on all of its promises, with the exception of the hotel accomodation before and after. The experience on the ship was excellent, made better by the seamless planning and execution of the outstanding staff on board. By the ...

We had always wanted to see the Swiss Alps and parts of France and Germany. Paris was wonderful to explore and set us all up for an exciting time abroad. Our trip from Dallas to Toronto to Paris went smoothly. The air bookings were fine, however, the end of our trip was not up to Viking standards, and I will touch upon that at the end. The arrangements were impeccable as was the ...
