We really enjoyed this trip. It was our first river cruise. The Christmas markets in the ports were wonderful.
The food on the ship was excellent. Especially loved the soups at lunch and dinner. The included wines with dinner were very good.
We did the included tours and a few extras. Most ports had plenty of free time to explore on our own some too.
Really glad we did 2 extra ...
Really enjoyed this cruise. It was our first river cruise.
I was worried about having only one dining option, but the food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the soups at lunch and dinner. One night was a German buffet. Desserts were excellent also. The wine and beer included with the price were very good.
The included tours were very good. In most locations left plenty of time to ...
We chose this departure to align with flower bloom at Keukenhof Garden in Amsterdam. Weather, water levels and crowds were all good. Food on the Magni was great. They included cuisine from each country we visited and the menu options were very good. Service on board was fantastic too. Only down side was the Covid threat that bounced a few people off of the cruise. I like that Viking is adults ...
A river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam was on our bucket list for many years. We started with a pre-cruise extension to Prague, which was a great walking city. The river cruise ship was comfortable and filled with friendly travelers. The cabin was small but well-designed and there was no need to stay in the cabin except when sleeping. Being able to sit outside and watch as small towns passed by ...
Wanted to experience Europe and we did with ease. The view along the way was awesome. Our first river cruise. The guided tours helped us understand the history and culture better. Our Australian cruise director Alex was excellent. He was always there to assist the passengers in every port, tour and at the daily briefings for the day’s activity. The staff were all very helpful and accommodating. ...
Always wanted to do a river cruise in Europe and this one provided the most highlights and included shore excursions. Going that far, we wanted to spend more time so we chose a 2 week cruise. The reason for the poor review is the way Viking handled the low water situation. We had inquired about this problem before we left for our cruise and was told that there was no issue. They lied! We heard ...
Thank you, judhess, for taking the time to share your recent Viking experience with the cruising community. Although it is with delight that we learn you found the dining and shore excursion...
This was our first time cruising with Viking. It exceeded all expectations. The crew was phenomenal attention to detail is amazing we couldn’t of picked a better vacation. Two months after this cruise we booked another Viking cruise. The excursions offered are widely diverse. They give details of what will be done whether easy moderate or extreme hiking based on your day and how you feel it made ...
We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with the Grand European tour. This is 15 nights. We went from Amsterdam to Budapest, but you can also book going the other direction. The Magni and it’s staff managed to be efficient and friendly while being both elegant and relaxed. The longships are well designed and comfortable. We were concerned that it would be difficult to make friends, ...
This was our first experience with Viking cruises we chose the 15 day cruise through Europe vacation. The experience beginning with ease of booking - and information from my viking agent was superior. Every need was met.. greeted at the airport.. Quick service to the dock using purchased Viking transfers. The room was very nice with every amenity needed and the crew I can’t say enough about. ...
We choose this 14-day cruise because it touched on all the highlights we wanted to see on our first trip through Europe. Additionally, we did a pre and post cruise extended stay. The pre-cruise stay was in Prague. The post-cruise stay was in Amsterdam. Both are beautiful cities and the hotels that Viking put us in were first class.
I get seasick on the ocean, but not rivers or lakes. ...
