Viking Ingvi Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

Every one I know who had experience with Viking enjoyed their cruise. Once aboard, I understood why. From the steward (dining room server) who took our bags to our cabin to the activity director, we felt that our enjoyment was critically important. I got the distinct feeling that procedures on board had been tailored based on previous guests’ comments. For a “foodie” like me, the dining ...

We did the Viking Rhine cruise a few years ago, and knew we wanted to do another. After the "unpleasantness" of 2020-2022, we booked this Danube cruise for 2023. We had high expectations given our Rhine experience. As they say, it did NOT disappoint. Viking River ships are all of the same design, so it was all very familiar, which is a plus. The crew from stem to stern was exceptional. the ...

We had previously taken a Viking Rhine River Cruise and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to do the Danube Waltz cruise with them. We started with their Prague pre-excursion package and stayed at the Prague Marriott hotel. The hotel was conveniently located near the Old Town, with many shops and restaurants. The breakfast was excellent. We did Viking's Prague walking tour, the Prague Night ...

Our recent trip with Viking was 3 years in the making. The original tro was 2020, but COVID delayed the trip to this year. It was worth the wait. The itinerary was a trip of a lifetime, traveling 5 countries and visiting 4 world capitals, a geographic dream. The sites and history have us a greater understanding of the people and where they’ve been over the centuries. Of course, this wasn’t ...

This cruise was on our bucket list. We loved that it's a small ship with a fabulous crew and no children under the age of 18. They kept everything going like clock work. Always concerned about us being comfortable. The cabins are comfortable and love that the bathroom floors where heated since it was colder than expected. Our cabin steward Eva was wonderful. She kept the room clean ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary - my heritage is Slavic/Hungarian, and going to Bratislava and Budapest was a draw. We are also musicians, so going to places with such rich musical history was a plus. The timing of the trip fit our schedule; the free air-fare pushed it over the top. We loved the city tours, particularly the walking tours. I like to take great photos, and ...

Our family decided (again) to cruise with Viking for our Christmas holiday. My husband and 2 daughters ages 22 and 21 have been travelling for Christmas and by far our Viking trips have been our favorite holiday vacations. Honestly, out Viking customer service rep recommended Christmas on the Danube, and what a great recommendation it was! The Christmas markets made this cruise exceptional for ...

This was a dream of my wife to do this. She and I were not disappointed. The countries we traveled are special in their own right, but the addition of the Christmas markets and decorations made it even more special because it really added the experience of mingling with the people and local culture. It is a PERFECT time and way to experience these countries. The Viking organization was ...

Background: I think most “reviews” do not provide much actionable information. They just relate whether the people liked it, or not. I, on the other hand, am always looking for detailed info that is not available from a top-level tour/cruise review site. I am looking for “behind the scenes info” and to benefit from the experience of somebody else like me who has done this already and found the ...

We were interested in European Christmas markets and this seemed the easiest way to see a bunch. What a great decision. The Viking Ingvi crew was wonderful. The steward took excellent care of the our cabin. Dining staff made mouthwatering meals and the selection of local foods for dinner was exciting. Our rule when traveling is to not eat what we could have at home and the menu did not disappoint, ...
