Viking Europe Cruise Reviews

Just returned from our first River Cruise which was also our first trip to France. We sailed on Viking Radgrid which is brand new to the Viking fleet. The ship was to have launched in 2020 but was delayed due to Covid. We flew to Paris on 10/1/21 for a three day precruise stay. Our hotel was nicely located near the Arc de Triumph. We loved the three days which gave us time to tour the ...

We chose this itinerary as we wanted to preface it with 5 nights on our in Paris. We paid the surcharge to have Viking handle the air arrangements. Be sure you check everything! On the return, Viking air desk had us with a 6 hour layover after an 8 hour transatlantic flight! I checked and there was an earlier flight with only a 95 minute layover. I insisted they make the change and they did. ...

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. ...

My wife and I have just returned from a Viking River Cruise starting in Budapest and ending in Passau, Germany with an extension to Prague. We were a bit nervous with the resurge of the Delta phase about going but, ended up feeling more safe on the River cruise than if we stayed at home. Traveling requires a PCR test prior to boarding your flights overseas and luckily CVS got our test results ...

I had never been to the Balkans and wished to see it there. I also had a wish to visit Prague as I had heard that it was a beautiful city. The ship was very well appointed and furnished. The service was the best I had ever encountered on a cruise ship. Every crew member exhibited the desire to please me and make my cruise excellent. They were very attentive and helpful. The tours included in ...

This cruise had been rescheduled 2 times over 1 1/2 years. My husband and I were glad to finally get away. This cruise was as perfect as it could have been considering COVID restrictions. Different countries had different mask regulations so we just followed the guidelines our cruise director Marie gave us. We had the most unbelievable weather so often times we ate outdoors and enjoyed the views. ...

We booked this cruise in Feb. 2021 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We chose Viking because of the itinerary and the date. We had been on the Rhine River with a different company so thought we'd try Viking this time and couldn't have been happier. Whether or not the cruise would be canceled was questionable up to the days before because of the changing Covid status but Viking kept us ...

This was our third Viking.. after the Danube at Christmas (fabulous!) and the Rhine Getaway. We recommend Viking to all friends and family, as the experience is as close to perfect as you can get. From the preplanning and attentive calls when we had questions, to the air travel they handled, it all went smoothly. The trip itself was lovely! We were lucky with great weather the entire week. ...

Viking pre and post was awful! The corporate office can’t get worse. The air booking was totally a mess with 2 hour hold times every time you call to fix their mess. No one answered the phone (except agents wanting to sell a cruise) when I tried to call and get clarifications regarding COVID testing etc. No one answered when I called to find the boat after they sent us the wrong address to board ...
