Viking had us covered! We were happy with the food, the service, the excursions, the staff! I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. My only complaints were the very small beds (and we had issues with the reservation process which I will send in separately). I also wish the elevator went to the top floor, for those with mobility limitations this was an issue. Hope this will be a feature in future ...

This was our fourth trip with Viking. We have chosen them because of the excellent overall quality of their cruises. One of their biggest pluses is the superb staff who is very professional but so helpful and friendly. This includes not only those on board ship but the staff in the office as well. We dealt with Jackie this year who took great care of us during the booking process and on our ...

We had great time on our cruise. I travel with several mature gal friends. A little disappointed in the tour of Amsterdam, I would suggest paying for a canal boat tour over the free walking tour. In addition to the great tours in each city, we enjoyed kicking up our heals in the lounge in the evening, dancing and singing along with the piano man. The water levels were up so we had smooth ...

My husband and I won this trip at a local fundraising event in late 2017. We had never been on a cruise before and wanted to see what it was like. An ocean cruise was out of the question - we aren't interested in being in a huge floating hotel with thousands of guests. This trip from Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam for a week, with a total of 97 rooms seemed more our speed. We flew into Basel ...

I was pleasantly surprised with my first cruise experience. The ship is small with only about 180 customers. There was always a place to curl up with a good book or watch scenery. It never felt too crowded. Food was exceptional. Every meal, every day. Service was very nice. We ended up sitting in the same area, especially for dinner, and got to know our servers. Made for a pleasant ...

Many things were very good to excellent. One item that needs improvement is WI-FI. We had trouble using Wi-FI. There were too many shore excursions. There was one each day. We had to not go on one because we were that tired. We wanted to try a river cruise, but it was expensive for us. We can't afford to take another one, because of being on a fix income. (For other people, the value may be ...

Loved it... However, Pretty cold in late October and early November. Morning fog prevented us from seeing the Castles along the Rhine. (I was really looking forward to that)! Even though we were bundled up, it was still in most cases, too cold to sit on the upper deck or outside. Service was excellent, food was great!. Loved that the wine was free and available for lunch and dinner. Nice ...

We flew into Basel early to help acclimate to the time change and explore that city which we had never visited before. Enjoyed Basel very much. Headed to the River to find our ship, The Mani and were instantly met with helpful crew who relieved us of our baggage and got it to our room without incident. Absolutely all the meals were lovely, some of the best soups I have eaten. A great ...

Had always wanted to try it, after rave reviews from colleagues and friends. Booked late however so too last available cabin - on lowest deck. Beware quoted cabin sizes, which are the TOTAL measurements, out of which you must deduct cupboard space, say 15 square feet and also the bathroom, say 40 square feet, which leaves just enough space for the bed surrounded by 1.5/2.0 feet. Light ...

Amsterdam-spent two days pre cruise. Viking did a wonderful job with all transports, Lufthansa air and van to and from hotel and ship.We stayed at the Radisson Blu set up by Viking with full buffet breakfast. We used UBER to get round Amsterdam which worked out great. Recommendations 1. Hungry Birds City tour- walking 4 hour afternoon tasting of small restaurants and cheese shops- Pre book on ...
