Viking Lif River Cruises Reviews

Excellent crew they give 5 star service. The shore excursions are very informative and in depth for each port. This was my first Viking cruise. The food was outstanding. Our room was very nice and comfortable eventhough we chose the lowest cabin is eas spacious enough the shower was much bigger than on a Princess cruise I went on. The average age of the passengers were mostly older than me but it ...

We had heard from several friends about how good this cruse is. So, we went in with high expectations. We have to say that Viking exceeded even those expectations. They covered the entire trip details from start to finish. Our flight from Washington D.C. arrived in Frankfurt at 5:20 am local time. To our pleasant surprise, there were three Viking personnel waiting for us (about a dozen of us total ...

We've been considering a European river cruise for a long time. We decided on the Viking European Sojourn because if we're going to have to fly transatlantic we would like to spend a while there before we head back. Viking has obviously put a lot of thought into how to make river cruising as good for the traveler as they can for a reasonable price. I have read that in pre-industrial times most ...

The 23 day river voyage covered the three main rivers of eastern and western Europe: the Danube, Reine and Main and visited 15 countries allowing passengers to learn about the past and how it affected the present. The entire voyage traversed several thousand mile of waterways containing about 50 lock and some 500 bridges. Passengers were able to pick out excursions matching desired difficulty and ...

Long time cruiser This is my 2nd Viking Cruise - it’s easy to see why they are the number 1 rated Cruise ship in the world - luxurious finely appointed pointed, keen attention to every detail, one the best crews at every level, gourmet food at its finest, with impeccable service, small intimate experiences (150 or so people)— no children, no casinos , relaxation and daily off boats excursions ...

I lived in west Germany in the early 70’s and wasn’t able to visit Eastern Europe then so this was a great opportunity. It was so interesting to see these countries and learn so much from the local guides hired by Viking. Love the friendliness of the Viking staff and the included excursions were outstanding. Optional excursions were also available while docked at ports. The excursions are rated ...

We were interested in an area of the world where we had limited experience. Well organized, extremely competent staff and smooth operation. We enjoyed the excursions, the food and the professional, genial staff. Rooms were clean, well designed and comfortable. Public spaces inside and out were spotless and appealing. The cruise director was outstanding, personable and, remarkably, knew our ...

We were aware of Vikings reputation for quite some time.(we're not typically cruise people). To say that they far surpassed our expectations is an understatement. The accomodations, service and itinerary were exceptional. (We did book a Veranda Suite, since I am 2 meters tall.) We whole heartedly recommend this cruise. The staff is super attentive to your every need and anticipates these, often ...

A teacher-friend and I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the added perks Viking offered at the time we booked. My friend had been on an ocean cruise previously; I had traveled extensively in Europe and Asia, but had not been on a cruise. It was such a fun trip!! We met so many fun and interesting people, both fellow travelers and staff! A river cruise involves a smaller boat, thus ...

We chose this cruise, primarily, because it was a Viking River Cruise. Two years ago we had chosen the cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg. This was cancelled (and rescheduled) due to lockdown but was eventually cancelled as a result of the war Russia was waging in the Ukraine. Fortunately, we were able to exchange our cruise from that one to the cruise down the Danube. It went to places we had ...
