Viking Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

Euro River Cruise, BUD to Amsterdam, Viking Ve. This was a bucket list item for me. Budapest is an amazing place. My thirst for this city is only slightly satiated. Old Hungarians bristle at Hungary being in “Eastern Europe.” They like to think it’s in “Central Europe.” Younger Hungarians seem to ignore all of that and are striving just like productive younger people the world over. ...

Captain Florian and his crew were excellent; they did everything possible to make their passengers voyage safe and enjoyable. I don't have any complaints and concerns with them; my complaints and concerns are with the lack of transparency and lack of necessary information provided by the Viking Cruises marketing department. During the entire booking process, we were never informed that ...

Veteran cruisers, first time Viking cruisers. Beautiful ship and staterooms, crew was incredible, beverage package was wonderful, but the food was very mediocre at best. Steak the first night was like leather, same old breakfast everyday, pouring pre-mixed eggs out of the commercial carton they came in. At least fake it by putting them in a pitcher so passengers at least think they’re getting ...

Past experience with Viking was good. This was our 3rd Viking cruise. The first was Russia in 2019 and Italy, Greece, and the Adriatic in 2022. I honestly love Viking. We just had a bad experience on the Grand European river cruise due to the ship having some issues (3 of the 4 propellers were damaged). We splurged on the Explorer suite, of which there are two, on the back of the boat. I would ...

Embarkation was easy, because the ships are small. The food in the dining room was of limited variety, because river ships are small. It was pretty good, but we've usually had better-prepared food on ocean cruises. Similarly, entertainment was very limited, but one shouldn't expect a lot of entertainment on small river cruise ships. One thing has caused us great disappointment. There was no ...

First off, the crew of the Skadi was wonderful, all cheerful and positive. I never once encountered anybody that was not extremely professional and courteous. The food was amazing, top notch. Also, Jeffrey did an amazing job at keeping our stateroom immaculate and well stocked with towels, water, and bathing products. However, the problem lies with the excursions. Aside for the tour of the ...

No one should be prevented from joining a tour because of a disability or a handicap. This tour created a group of gentle walkers which was deeply appreciated. The program director David was such an enthusiastic person who always smiled and always had a solution to every problem that came up. The food was equal to a one star Michelin restaurant with many choices given nightly. The rooms were ...

Recently returned from a Viking Rhine trip on 10/14. The good: Rhine water levels were good, no issues. Service on the vessel was A+, excluding one attendant with “attitude” at the front desk. Entertainment was low key but acceptable. Viking succeeds in creating a laid back atmosphere. Viking is like a clock - they run on time. Cabin was nice and shower was exceptional. Most (not all) ...

Please see the positive things about the ship and the staff at the bottom of this review. This review is really about the pre-cruise experience and the most useless air travel department in the world. We've traveled a lot. We know. (to give you an idea of our travel experience, together we have over 4 million miles of air travel. This is not our first rodeo.) The most useless telephone number ...

BORING! If you like to go on a river cruise to do very little this is the one for you.There is very little to see at the ports, small towns with nothing in them of interest. An example is day 2, a two hour drive through the Black Forest to see a cuckoo clock factory and gift shop. The ride back was another hour and a half. Total waste of a day. We skipped the tour of Cologne and walked around ...
