Viking Family Cruises Reviews

We were talked into this cruise by friends who felt it was a good price to see a country none of us had been to and Viking had served us well on a European cruise. We in turn brought a third couple and we were all thrilled with the tour. It was a land and river tour and Viking used first class hotels. The ship was very comfortable. While some of us were nervous about the food, cuisine was ...

We chose this Cruise because I wanted to see areas of China I had not seen in my previous visit. My partner had never been to China it seemed like a very good way for him to see a lot of the country and the culture. We thoroughly enjoyed the onboard activities and the shore excursions were wonderful. The guide was a joy to have and full of wonderful information that made each Excursion come ...

We had day tripped the Rhine near Rudesheim in the Summer., wanted to see old Europe along the Rhine, Main, Danube, Chritmas Markets.It was enchanting! Saw the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, walked the Riverfront sights in Cologne, Had Coffee and Sacher Torte in the heart of Vienna, saw Rudesheim, the Loreli, Christmas Market setting up in Neuremberg, two separate Chrismas Markets in ...

Active Adventure! China and Tibet were very new cultural, historical, societal, political and religious experiences for us. Very eye opening. It is best be understanding and flexible. The land based portion had beautiful 5 star hotels, especially the Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai, The Regency in Beijing, and The Shangri la in Tibet Ship on Yangtze River was not the typical Viking Long ...

Interesting but exhausting trip. 17 days is a long time which included 3 internal flights which were tiresome. A Highlight of the trip was our tour guide Ray. His amazing communication skills and A+ personality made the trip. Tibet was another highlight. We arrived during a holy time so got to see the Buddhist pilgrims from the countryside. 6 of the 30 people on our tour to Tibet got altitude ...

Overall trip was great. The arrival was handled with such ease and made it the start of a great trip. Ship was very well appointed and crew and staff did a great job of welcoming and very nicely setting boundary's. Ports of call were very interesting someday's we wished we had more free time in cities, but we have made a list and are looking at how we can go on our own make this ...

It was an amazing trip. The service was impeccable, with all the staff being friendly and helpful, basically perfect. Our room was much better then anticipated. While very small the design was such that we were able to use it like a much bigger room. The French Balcony was ideal, with the bed only a few feet from it (enough to slide between it and the bed) and I felt like a balcony would have ...

We chose Viking for our China visit as we knew they'd take good care of us in a country where we don't speak the language and can't read the signs - and they did. From the time we stepped off the plane to the time we checked back in for the trip home, we were very well cared-for. Viking assigns you to a group of about 30 who stays together with one guide the entire trip, so you get to know ...

Viking's Undiscovered China only goes from Shanghai to Beijing and we also did the Hong Kong extension. The entire trip was wonderful and our escort, Francis, couldn't do enough for his 38 passengers. As other reviews have said, the escort is with you the entire trip (a different part-time escort was in Hong Kong). The escort is your main guide (some local guides are also used) and a great help ...

RIver Cruising is a totally diff experience. We would not do it again. Nice to see so many spots but outside of a few ports if you are a traveler and have seen a lot of Europe there is nothing new here. Boats lack amenities such a space, gym, spa, dining choices. Our suite was nice however. We were thankful to have the balcony and Living room as the top deck was closed for the last 4 days of ...
