Viking Hlin River Cruises Reviews

Our first Viking River Cruises. We Sailed from Basel, Switzerland on the 23d on December 2023 on the Viking Ship Hlin up the Rhine River to Amsterdam. Our Original Viking Sister Ship the Alruna was not available for this River Cruise. Both ships are similar in design and service, and we transition into our A Veranda Stateroom with ease. Several of the Viking Service Staff were present to help ...

This cruise was chosen by our daughter who saw a review of it in 2022 on Tik Tok. It sounded so interesting & different, so all 3 of us booked it together. A day or so before our departure, our ship was changed to the Hlin, because the Tialfi was delayed downriver because of flooding on the Rhine. It was a lovely ship. Decorated for the Holidays, bright, clean & comfortable. The staff could not ...

This was a 7 day river cruise with the option we chose to also stay 2 nights in Amsterdam at the Movenpick. When travelling with food allergies, this is the line to chose! The Maitre D' was on top of the situation at every single meal, and Viking always had delicious and inclusive options for those with allergies. The entire staff was friendly, professional, efficient, sometimes shockingly so! ...

Influenced by friends who sailed in May 2022, we booked the Christmas on the Rhine cruise with Viking for our honeymoon, November 2023. We’re in our early 40s and had an absolutely amazing time on this trip! The average and median age on the cruise was definitely 20-25 years our senior, but please don’t feel like you must be retired to enjoy a trip with Viking. While I think we were the only ...

It was suggested by one of my sisters that I should experience a Viking Cruise. She had traveled on several trips with Viking and was very pleased. Having traveled with several different cruise lines, my husband and I decided to give Viking a try. Having never been on a River Cruise we decided that this would be our first experience with Viking. We were amazed and impressed by the care given ...

The Rhine cruise has been on my bucket list and I finally got the chance to go with my sister. From the moment we stepped on board the ship and throughout our entire cruise, we felt special. The food was phenomenal, our stateroom was perfect (Damarisz was a super housekeeper for us), the walking tours informative, extra excursions were awesome, and Wez (program Director) made every night a blast! ...

We highly recommend the Rhine River Cruise. It stops at key towns and offers great excursions. There are several locks that I found interesting, as well as low bridges in which the captains wheelhouse hydraulically lowers to squeeze under them. The top deck is perfect for sight seeing, particularly on the day you sail through the Middle Rhine with all the castles and vineyards. We highly ...

We were meeting to cruise with friends, we wanted to see several cities and historic sights without the hassle of traveling. This took the guess work out of it. The planning was great! The awesome coordinating of transportation to each of the shore excursions was top notch. The buses were comfortable and the air conditioning was very appreciated since it was hot for September. Our guides were very ...

Absolutely one of the best if not “the Best” cruise we’ve done ! The meals both on and off ship were far above any we’ve had on previous vacations ! The regional dinner selections every night on board knocked this cruise cuisine out of the park ! Having less passengers than the big cruise ships allowed us to be more personable with other guests and staff. We had a blast with the generational ...

We never thought of ourselves as "cruise people". We had no desire to vacation on a giant ship with thousands of other guests, especially children, and all of the amenities that we would not take advantage of (pools, casinos, night clubs, amusement park rides, etc.). Nor to travel to the same overcrowded tourist locations with dozens of other ships and tour groups. We definitely didn't want to ...
