Our friends invited us to join them on this cruise. Cruises are not exactly our style. The cruise ship was well laid out, clean and did not seem to be over crowded.
Our favorite part of the cruise was sitting on the upper deck watching the countryside go by. Since we did most of our traveling at night, the day time cruising was not as frequent as we would have liked.
The crew and in ...
We have been talking about a Viking River Cruise for 10+ years. We finally had the opportunity. My husband really wanted to see Prague and Budapest so that made our cruise decision easy. Our Prague pre trip was fantastic. We were happy we spent the extra money and spent extra time. One regret: we thought we would be tired by end of cruise so did not extend for the Budapest post trip; we were ...
Working with Viking in planning our cruise was flawless as well as working with them on excursions, taxis and requests on board. Our cabin was small (no balcony) but we really didn't spend a lot of time in our room. It is extremely well laid out. Embarkation and disembarkation was easier than checking in and out of a hotel. Everyone on board is friendly, welcoming and know you by name right ...
Viking Cruises came highly recommended to me by my friends in several different groups, so it was easy to select the Danube River cruise with my companion. The recommendation was warranted! Two things impressed me right off, Viking's attention to detail right down to the small stuff (like good design of cabins, things many guests might not even notice) and Viking's corporate culture, always ...
It was excellent! The food was great as was the staff. They had different themed nights based on where we were on the cruise. The wine package was well worth the $$ and the selection was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the standard tours; they were very well done. We took the extra tour to Salzburg which was good. Although it was cold during our cruise we had a great time. We were able to use the ...
We went on this particular cruise because the dates worked with everyone's schedule. We traveled with our two adult children and their spouses. Theses dates for the Danube trip were the only ones that worked for all of us. It was a fun family trip. We enjoyed the entire ship Jarl. The public space is wonderful. The deck is so nice to sit and watch the spectacular scenery go by.

First time to these countries, free airfare was offered, and the timing fit within our calendar. Like the convenience of booking everything with Viking, so everything is taken care of. Some of the excursions were a bit slow for us. I am not one who wants to see a new country/city from a motor coach. I'm not that old yet.
When we have more time for vacations, we will definitely consider ...
We went with Viking because we enjoyed a previous cruise so much. It met all expectations plus. This must be how the one per centers live! Looking forward to another Viking cruise in 2018. Embarkation/disembarkation was very smooth and efficient. We did a land tour the first half of our cruise, Berlin to Nuremberg. The sights and history were outstanding. I have been to most of those places ...
We were 10 people from NY and CA, all first time on river cruise.
Four of us arrived 3 days earlier, and we took a trip to Prague for two days by ourselves. We reserved the bus online and was relatively easy. The only problem we had was locating the bus stop to Prague at the Nuremberg main train station. The advice is to make sure you find some local people going to the same place while you are ...
We choose cruise because of deal offered. It was a great value for our dollar. We booked our air travel, hotel, transfers and cruise through Viking and they did a wonderful job. They sent us a booklet pre trip and we found it very helpful. The hotel was great and they were there to assist pre cruise.
One we boarded we were surprise that each passenger was treated like an owner. We like ...
