The was my and my ladyfriend's first every cruise and it exceed all expectations. I took this August 84 American soccer players and their spouses to play in the O70/75 World Cup in Soccer in Denmark, and know how it is to heard 84 wild cats. So they way Viking did it was to perfection, like introducing the F group for our land excurcions and called in Fabolous - where you assembled the people ...
My partner gets sea-sick in a tea cup. So we chose for our first cruise after 77 years on no cruising with Viking on the Rhine in November/2022 - where we chose a stateroom at the waterline/middle of the barge, and Aase my partner had no problem as we encountered no waves. The state room was well equipped and organized and since travelling in November had no need for balcony. Everything on the ...
I traveled with friends who had already researched, selected this week on the Mani. I had never been on a river cruise so relied on my friends and their recommendation. Was NOT disappointed! Basel to Amsterdam was delightful...loved the itinerary. Water level was perfect, weather was beautiful! The Mani crew was so professional....making sure every minute met my expectations!! ...
We had thought about taking a river cruise and Viking’s anniversary sale provided s great opportunity to try the experience. We were going to Europe anyway and decided to start our trip with a river cruise. We chose the Rhine cruise because of the ports, and love traveling in the fall. We loved having everything taken care of (after pre-planning our excursions), and to be able to unpack for a ...
This was our second Viking River cruise, and it far exceeded our expectations! The onboard experience was spectacular, the crew was amazing, from cabin service to dining room chef. We were particularly impressed with the Lucerne extension. We rode a cog train into the alps, visited a family farm where we saw a four-day old calf, visited a cheese factory where we made our own cheese! Overall ...
We were met at our taxi by Elizabeth, our program director with a big welcome and a porter to take our luggage. We were welcomed to sit in the lounge until lunch was served on the aquavit terrace. The food was beautifully displayed and delicious. Over the week we tried a little of all except the foods always available. Each evening, Elizabeth would give a talk on the next day's events. The ...
We had taken many ocean cruises in the past, but wanted to try the experience of a smaller, more intimate ship. The Mani and her crew did not disappoint! We were very happy with the ports, guides and on ship experience. We took the trip to celebrate our 40th anniversary and the memories, friends we met and ports we visited will be an experience we will treasure. Everything is well planned and ...
This was a cruise through the beautiful Rhine River area, and 7 days is a nice length of cruise for someone who just wants to get away for awhile. The first port Basel, Switzerland, and the last port Amsterdam, are great places to add days before and after the cruise. We spent 6 nights before the cruise visiting some of the scenic spots in Switzerland and then boarded the Viking Longboat for a ...
We were invited by our dear friends to go, we had always wanted to do a Viking Cruise so we jumped at the chance!! Viking DID NOT disappoint!!! The food was delicious and free flowing!! The wait staff catered to our every need and worked tirelessly to make sure we had anything we wanted. The drink package was totally worth it!! The free guided tours were outstanding!! The staff was delightful and ...
We've traveled in Germany, but never in the Black Forest or Rhine areas. Although we have done many ocean cruises, we've always wanted to do a river cruise and this itinerary gave us the perfect access to these areas of Germany we wanted to visit.
The food on board the boat was such a treat. Each meal was perfectly portioned, visually delightful, and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the ...
