You Won't Cruise With Confidence On Viking

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Viking Skirnir

“I’m sorry to tell you, but you tested positive for Covid.” Not the words you are supposed to hear when relying on Viking’s “Cruise With Confidence”. But think about it, if you test 125 fully vaccinated and boosted people every day while Covid is raging and the 125 people are “exploring the world with curiosity” some of them are going to get Covid. And we weren’t the first on our boat, the ...

We were very excited to plan our Tulips and Windmills river cruise. Then from the very start things went bad. We arrived in Amsterdam at 8:30am sat on plane for over an hour waiting for previous plane to move. We stood waiting for our luggage until 11:30 only to find out KLM luggage went on strike. No Viking rep. Word went through the terminal to fill out forms and get in a line of over 300 ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We chose a Viking River Cruise to see historic sites without having to repack out bags every night. The trip started out well but the weather was terrible with rain, wind and cold. We were unable to use our balcony at all. The food was great, service exceptional. Entertainment was not good with only a piano player playing “easy listening” music. Viking conducted daily Covid testing. My ...

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Viking Vidar

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My trip on the Vidar with Viking: My flight was changed three times due to the quarantine change with the Netherlands so I lost my flight on Icelandair. This made it difficult to get a PCR test on time for the flight as times kept changing; I had to reschedule four times! The flight I took had me going to Newark New Jersey one of the least vaccinated places for a long layover over six hours. ...

The Cruise that wasn't a Cruise

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We had a good experience on a Viking Ocean Cruise and had not done a river cruise before. Viking gets high marks in that category, so we were excited to try it. However, we have been very disappointed. Our ship, The Embla, has been experiencing severe mechanical issues, that Viking was well aware of, prior to our boarding. In the interest of “the bottom line”, they didn’t disclose this, they ...

I booked this cruise after seeing great ratings on cruise critic...We were bused everywhere and the ship was only used as a floating hotel....We only had One day of scenic cruising on Viking....We were told by the company that the problem was due to low water levels,however, senior offices advised that the bus trips have been ongoing since August....We were not given any opportunity to cancel the ...

Unethical sales tactics

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

This review is to voice our concerns about what I believe to be unethical and dishonest tactics of Viking River Cruise sales. We recently booked a Grand European river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. This was a last-minute booking. We booked our cruise only a few weeks before the cruise sailing date. The sales agent sold us this trip as listed in the brochure. It wasn’t until right before the ...

We recently returned from our Viking trip down the Rhine River disappointed and exhausted. The trip was chaotic and disjointed due to River levels on the Rhine. Instead of advising us of the extent of the disruption to be expected so we could cancel Viking emailed us several days before departure that we may have changed ships due to low. Water levels but accommodations would be made for our ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because the reviews were good and we like to cruise but have only done ocean cruises with Princess Cruise Lines. On this “cruise” we spent a lot of time on busses being transferred from one boat to another, which meant we had to waste time packing and unpacking multiple times. The people on board wouldn’t tell us if or when we would have to jump ships again until after ...

I booked this cruise to have a nice, relaxing time on the river, having been inspired both by a friends past trips and by their wonderful television commercials. Sitting leisurely on the deck, with a glass of good wine and enjoying the gorgeous views along the Rhine and Danube rivers, eating great food with excellent service at meals, and having the occasional guided tours by expert guides was my ...
