Viking Kadlin River Cruises Reviews

I chose the 17 day cruise (7 countries and 5 capitals) because it gave me the opportunity to see countries I never imagined I would get to without having to takes trains and switch hotels. I did a pre trip to Prague and stayed at the Augustine which was lovely and highly recommend. On the cruise Walter, Mateo and Valentin in the restaurant were great , fun and did a fabulous job. So did Ivana ...

I always wanted to visit Bulgaria and Romania. I had visited Vienna and Budapest before but everywhere else was new to me. I must commend Michael, the Program Director for an outstanding job with all the intricate logistics of getting 177 people where they wanted to go and especially for dealing with the issues of a shortened cruise due to three ships aground. His historical knowledge is ...

We chose Viking's new itinerary, the Capitals of Eastern Europe, because it took us comfortably to an area of the world that we had never seen or experienced. We were not disappointed! Our pre-trip to Prague, Hungary was wonderful! Prague is a city full of friendly people and beautiful Baroque architecture that is easy for English speaking travelers to get around in because about 60% of the ...

The river cruise was amazing. The tours of the cities were very detailed and fun. The food was amazing. Some dishes were surprisingly spicy but still very tasty. The guides that were hired were very knowledgeable and extremely nice. They were very compassionate about what they were telling us about the cities. On board the ship was incredible. It was very easy to navigate through and the staff was ...

We decided on this trip to celebrate our 50th anniversary. One of the things that attracted us to it was that it had a pretrip extension to Munich and Salzburg. My wife had spent a year studying in Munich, and I had never been there, so this was my opportunity to learn more about that part of her life. For my part, I was looking forward to the trip to Český Krumlov, since my ancestors are from ...

This was our first time on a Viking River Cruise and it will not be the last. They exceeded our expectations in every way. We were met at the airport and whisked to our hotel. We stayed at the 5 star New York Palace hotel in Budapest to begin our vacation. It's the nicest hotel we've ever visited! The excursions in and around the city were fabulous. All of the guides were exceptional. Once we ...

Friends and family recommended. Everything from boat, staff, good and excursions beyond our expectations! The activities director "George" was so wonderful. He kept us informed, on schedule, and made it really fun. The food was beyond delicious! We ate like kings and queens. We loved how the chef gave us a taste of foods from the region/country we were in...all the food was Delicious. I ...

We were lucky because the week before we sailed, there was a heat wave and the Danube was too low. For our week, it rained quite a bit, but mostly at night so walking tours were unaffected and it was in the 70s and 80s. So choosing the week to go, you get the luck of the draw. This is our second Viking River Cruise and it was just as great as the first. We were surprised that this time, there were ...

We chose this cruise to experience a different area of Europe after taking a Viking Rhine cruise 3 years ago. The ship (Kadlin) and crew were excellent. Viking had a plan in place for low water levels, but we were lucky and were able to enjoy the entire cruise on the river as planned. Cruise director George does a fabulous job- and sings pretty well too. The dining staff and cabin attendants ...

Positives: Airport transport perfect Very Clean ship and room Excellent service and staff Intelligent and witty guides Good choice of foods (I have allergies so it worked well for me) and you could order anything you wanted off the menu. There were no rules. Beverage package Pleasant entertainment from 9-10 Very organized days that went off without a hitch Cheerful and ...
