Review for a Africa Cruise on Viking Osiris

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This trip was selected by my husband for his 60th birthday gift. We have been on many ocean cruises but never a river one. And typically I do all the planning and arrangements - and this time I let Viking do it all and I was not sorry! We did the Israel pre-cruise add on also which wasn't my first choice - but my husband selected it over the post-cruise days in Jordan. We were the youngest ...

More floating hotel than cruise and WARNING against Temple of Philae

This was my first Viking cruise experience. Many if not most of the passengers were repeat Viking customers and every single one said this was "not up to Viking standards". The ship was quite lovely and comfortable and the senior staff were so gracious and helpful. The room stewards and dining room wait staff however apparently are new and need more experience to come up to the service and ...

This river cruise along the Nile is amazing, with excursions visiting sites over 4000 years old. This is an area with tremendous history. While there may be other companies doing Nile River cruises, Viking is special in that they make a great effort to know every guest, and to accommodate their needs. There is nothing in this review about COVID because the policies are changing ...

Having been to Egypt previously 27 years ago, we always said that we wanted to go back. Such a mystical, magical place! Having been a frequent Viking customer, and loving the smaller boat size, we were excited to see that Viking had a small ship, the Ra, and a perfect itinerary for us. The accommodations were totally up to the Viking standards, and the crew was well trained and smiling as ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We selected the Rhine Getaway cruise because we liked the itinerary. While the Viking website heading for this cruise states, "Castles and Cathedrals," we visited cathedrals and medieval towns on our land tours but saw castles only one day and that was from the ship as it sailed the Rhine River from one port to another. We had favorite stops: Kinderdijk with its windmills, the Ehrenbreitstein ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My wife and I love to explore locations we’ve never visited before and the Egyptian Nile was at the top of our list. Viking made our visit to Egypt and the trip down the Nile one of the best vacations we ever had. The ship staff were ALL very friendly and professional. The meals on board were excellent and the guided tours top-notch!! Both tour guides had degrees in Egyptology and made all tours ...

I'd done a lot about early Egyptian history at university and had for a long time wanted to see the ancient monuments for myself. The Viking Ra itinerary was just what I needed to do that, while combining that with a relaxing cruise along the Nile. We first stayed in Cairo for a couple of nights. The hotel was great and we saw eg the Tutankhamun exhibition in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities ...

Till then the holiday in Cairo the hotel and the trips out to ...

Like many people, I have wanted to go on a Nike River cruise for many years. Viking is considered to be the best for river cruises, and I can certainly attest to the fact that they run an outstanding operation. From the smallest detail to the overall group experience it was a wonderful trip. Many of the guests were overheard talking about the “trip of a lifetime”. Very experienced tour ...

Loved this cruise, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the boat was spacious and well maintained. The cabins were to a high standard and looked after and cleaned every day, with plenty of bottled water provided. We enjoyed all the trips, which were included in the price of our holiday and the guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The Nile is an interesting river to cruise ...
