Viking Magni River Cruises Reviews

The room has strong odor of sewage backup. This would spread of disease. Eventally lots of people were sick. They got diarrhea or coughing. I and my wife got coughing and took 3 weeks to recover. Reported the problem but had a bit improvment only. The bath room ventilation fan didn't run. We were told to change ship due to the low water level. The new ship has simila problem. You can hear water ...

I just took my first cruise ever. I chose Viking based on reviews and advertising about the extremely high level/quality of service. I unfortunately did not experience that on my trip. Many things occurred including with service during meals and servicing of my cabin, but the two biggest were that I was injured during dinner when the boat hit the side of the river/canal with the force of an ...

I just came back from a 15-day Budapest to Amsterdam last week. At best the food quality is very average may be substandard in most days. We had only two good meals, Chateaubriand and Rack of lamb. Especially the regional food menus nightly were horrible. The Wiener schnitzel was like the bark of an old tree and the German Roast Pork with Crispy Skin was like a tree trunk, dry and chewy! We ...

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 ...

After over 30 'ocean' cruises we were excited to experience our first river cruise. We chose Viking based partly upon their itinerary and partly upon their 'dominance' in the river cruise market. As I sit here after over two weeks aboard, I am sad to report that though there were good times, accentuated by many very devoted crew members, the 'Viking experience' left me sadly disappointed. This ...

The start and the end of the vacation is the horror story, the middle of the vacation was very good. I'll start with the bad part. After departing our first airport a little late due to plane issues, we missed our international connecting flight. After multiple rebookings due to weather and spending 2 nights at Atlanta and one night at JFK we finally arrived late in the day on day 3 of our ...

We just completed a Viking River cruise called Tulips and Windmills on the Viking Magni. This will be the last Viking cruise we will take! We have been on two previous Viking and three previous Uniworld river cruises. This is the worst cruise we have ever been on. We had planned to be able to drop off our bags at the boat and be in town to do some sightseeing and we had tickets to the Anne ...

We have been on 5 river cruises but this was the first one with Viking. The staff were fine! The ship - on which we paid extra to have a third floor suite - was parked next to another ship at least 5 times. What a disappointment to wake up 3 days in a row only to see another person's room as our view. On previous AVALON cruise this never happened and noticed them in several ports this year - ...

We have been on 5 river cruises (60+ ocean cruises) but this was the first one with Viking. The staff were fine! The ship - on which we paid extra to have a third floor suite - was parked next to another ship at least 5 times. What a disappointment to look out - only to see another person's room as our view. On previous AVALON cruise this never happened and noticed them in several ports ...

Before I give my review let me just say that we have sailed on USS Norway when the smoke stacks backed up, on Royal Caribbean several times, on 3 Princess, 1 Celebrity, 1 Silver Seas, and now our first river cruise so we are not first time cruises. Now for my review of our trip to the Tulips and Windmills, Amsterdam to Belgium and back to Amsterdam. We also stayed two extra days in Amsterdam ...
