Europe - River Cruise Viking Rinda Europe - River Reviews

We had been on Viking River cruises before and enjoyed them. This trip was no exception. We had a wonderful trip. It was a new itinerary for Viking. Although we had been to Vienna and Budapest with Viking on previous trips - there was still a lot more to see. The program director, Leonard Miron, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Since he was originally from Romania, ...

Our second Viking river cruise. First was Rhine: Basel-Amsterdam. Eastern Europe is very different! About Viking: As expected, ship, crew, everything wonderful. Viking really has their act together. Can't say enough good things about them. About the itinerary: Everywhere we went, we heard the guides and the locals tell us what hell it was to live under Communism, and how they are ...

This was our 6 cruises with Viking and it was our best trip ever. We decided to take the new itinerary “Capitals of Europe” because we never had the chance to travel to this part of Europe. Viking Rinda it was not a very new ship and of course needed a maintenance soon as us and couple of other passengers we had problems with smelly toilets, internet and temperature in our cabin. But the ...

We chose Viking because it has great reviews and the smaller size ship, lack of children, and smaller excursion groups appealed to us. The excursions that Viking offered were very intimate, things that would not have been possible on a larger ship or in larger tour groups. Like a lot of other holiday travelers, we experienced issues with our luggage...we did not get it. It was no fault of ...

Our arrival on board was made with ease and we initially found our cabin excellent. We made good use of the bar and comfortable lounge area. All meals on board were excellent in selection and presentation. My wife's extremely selective vegan diet was accommodated well by the Chef and staff. Some of the tours seemed rushed, in the sense that the guides walked too briskly. Many of us older folk ...

Viking was well reviewed, their web platform very informative amd helpful and costs offered value. As to the actual services, coming delivered and provided wonderful travel experiences. Excursions we're well organized, safe, informative and appropriately social. Found them an excellent springboard orientation at every port. All services were well integrated and complementary; air, ...

Having never been to Europe before, I wanted to experience it in a more intimate setting. The ship was just the right size with just the right amount of people aboard and staff on hand. The shore excursions were small and intimate and made seeing the sights even better. The attention to detail on the ship far exceeded anything that I expected. I am planning another Viking cruise in August. We ...

This was our first river cruise. Visiting Vienna, Austria was a bucket list item for me, so this helped us select this cruise. Everything went smoothly from departure in US to our return. We booked our flights with Viking and added both the pre-excursion (Prague) and post-excursion (Budapest). Having Viking meet us at the airport in Prague was so comforting. "Sit, relax, we've got your ...

All stops and countries (except Germany) were new to us. We enjoyed everything except the Heurigan Evening. That was mediocre at best, and we felt we could have had the same experience on the ship. the venue had no locals except the server and the two musicians, and it wasn't the season for the new wine celebration. Since Vienna is such a music center we were very disappointed that we missed ...

We have seen the Viking Cruises advertized on PBS and it looked very inviting. Not completely sure why we chosed this route. Initiallly it was to start in Nuremburg but with Covid, all cruises were stopped. When we planned it again, it started in Passau, Germany. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cruise, staff, tour guides, the ship itself. We felt very taken care of, the food was great. The ...
