Viking works through the COVID crises and continues to provide quality vacation experience
"The main tour buses (Viking branded) are spacious and comfortable, particularly for the 3+ hour transit from Lisbon to Porto to reach the boat.Viking worked with the hotel chef and produced 3 different prix fix menus for Viking guests if we did not want to order from the main menu...."Read More

It was pretty obvious that this ship had a very cohesive staff. They seemed to work well together and actually like each other. This helped make our experience great. When my husband became sick for a few days, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and cared for. The entertainment was delightful, the meals outstanding, rooms clean and comfortable and the excursions ...

It was a wonderful trip! We were surrounded by people quality from leadership to staff to guides to fellow Vikings, fabulous food & drink, unique opportunities to immerse in the culture while enjoying beautiful scenery everywhere we went. It wasn’t a relaxing trip - there was a lot to do & see & learn. I loved that most of the excursions were included so we got to experience a lot of ...

It was our third Viking River cruise and we have been more than pleased at the overall quality of every aspect of cruising with Viking, including overall value. This destination, the Douro, was recommended to us by travelers we met on our previous cruises. The Ships are great. The Staff is friendly and helpful. And the guides they choose, local and from the ships, are off the charts outstanding. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Viking had been recommended to me by a friend who has been on 3 Viking river and ocean cruises. My son was in Portugal last year, and loved it, so that's why we decided on the Duoro River cruise. This is was an adult cruise, with only about 140 passengers. I went with 3 friends and we spent 2 nights in Lisbon in a 5 star hotel as part of the package, then headed north to Porto to board the ...

We have been traveled on Viking 4 times before and they never disappoint. From the ship, food, side excursions and crew one can not ask for a better vacation. The scenery, was so beautiful that I could not believe it was real. Meeting the captain daily and the rest of the crew made for a very pleasant, caring time. Our cabin was on the middle deck and suited our needs. Most of the time ...

One of the top rated cruises we have ever been on. I can not say enough about Viking. The crew, the food, the trip each day were superior. We so enjoy both Lisbon and the river of Gold. Exploring each day was an adventure and the people on board were so wonderful. I recommend this cruise to all that I speak with. We fell in love with Lisbon and the Douro valley. The wineries, the ...

We chose this cruise because of interest in Portugal. From our arrival in Lisbon to our departure from the ship in Porto, Viking handled everything perfectly. Transfers were on time, Patricia ( our cruise director) was on top of everything. The hotel in Lisbon was excellent , the transportation team was the best. Once we were greeted on board the Osfrid by the ship’s crew, we felt we were ...

Portugal’s River of Gold

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose Portugal’s River of Gold because we enjoyed the ports, people and cuisine of Portugal on ocean cruises. This cruise gave us a chance to explore more of Portugal’s interior at a slower, more relaxed pace. We started in Lisbon with two days of sightseeing excursions with a stay at an excellent hotel. We traveled to Porto to begin the river cruise along the Douro; during the trip we ...

We we lucky the weather was warm and sunny. The tours that were included was just as awesome as two years ago. I highly recommend this trip. The Fatima tour what better than expected ...

I chose this cruise to taste the wines from the Duoro Valley. The presentation given on the first day was a very comprehensive overview of the various wine regions. Very well done. Our tours started with a bus ride to various towns. This was quite different than most cruises in Europe where we stop in the town itself. The scenery along the way is memorable. The ship offered a wonderful ...
