A Crushing Disappointment

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Sigrun

Christmas on the Rhine - that’ll be special and nice I thought. What a crushing disappointment that turned out to be, onboard Viking Sigrun. Chose Viking off the back of good online reviews and those of friends who had travelled with them, and expectations were high. Before even starting the trip Viking delivered disappointment . This trip was booked in the previous March and in June ...

Christmas in Paris: First Cruise exceeded our expectations

My husband and I initially had reservations about going on a cruise and opted for a smaller river cruise on the Seine as our initiation into cruising. Our entire trip was absolutely wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. One of the things that made us forever members of Viking Cruising was our experience at the airport. Pick-up was as promised, but we were absolutely thrilled to be shuttled ...

My wife and I have never been on a cruise before. In 2023 we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and were looking to take a trip. When initial ideas didn't work with our timeframe, we ended up looking at other options that ended up with us finding Viking's Christmas Market cruise along the Rhine. We somewhat impulsively booked it in July of 2023. At the time it accounted for the sixth ...

I wanted a special Christmas gift for my wife and she loves all things Christmas. The draw of magical Christmas markets in beautiful historic settings is what drew me to join this cruise. We allowed Viking to do our flight arrangements. Most all were great. More on that later. The arrival and checkin in Paris was very smooth as has always been our experience with Viking. We enjoyed the ...

The restaurant meals aboard the ship were perfect! We loved having so many choices for starters, salads, entrees, and desserts -- both daily offerings and regional specialties. The service was equally perfect -- all of the staff were so attentive to us and we could not have asked for better! They learned our names and were eager to serve us. After a couple of days, they often knew what ...

Viking did not deliver what they advertised and sold.

This cruise was terrible. The day we were to travel we received an email from Viking informing us that due to the fact that our cruise was late in the season some of the advertised Christmas Market excursions would not be available. In their email Viking did not provide the customer the choice of changing the date of their cruise of canceling the entire trip. They either knew this or should ...

I cruise about 2x/year. Over the past few years, half of my cruises have been on Viking. The Christmas market cruise was my first Viking river cruise. While the Christmas markets were interesting, the cruise was hampered by the high river levels that prevented ships from travelling under bridges. (Last year when I considered a river cruise I passed since at the time the rivers in Europe were too ...

Almost crusing on the flooded Rhine River, but not a total loss thanks to Viking's superior management and resourcefulness.

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was our first cruise of any sort and we wanted to experience the Swiss, German, and French Christmas Markets while being pampered on the beautiful Viking River ship Idi. However high water on the Rhine River due to previous heavy rains and snow melt caused flooding and prevented our ship from passing under bridges on the Rhine River. Instead we were bused to Strasbourg, France where our ship ...

Disappointing Christmas River Cruise

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We wanted to do a Christmas Market cruise and the preferred one was full. This sounded like a good alternative. We realize the flooded rivers were beyond the control of Viking, but the adjustment made didn't work that well for us. We were bused for hours to and from the scheduled excursions. We usually had the same amount of time at the towns, but free time to explore the towns on our own was ...

Disappointing - not worth the thousands spent

What a major disappointment and complete waste of the thousands of dollars spent on this trip. My travel companions and I are experienced cruise travelers and will never travel Viking again. The problems began several days before our sailing date, when Viking announced there would be a change in our ship without explaining the details why. Which means Viking was already aware the Rhine ...
