Viking Lisbon Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see the best of Portugal and we certainly did! We visited Porto and learned about the early Portugese explorers and enjoyed the delicous food of Portugal. We left Porto to sail the Doro River and encountered the amazing scenery and learned about how the formerly wild river was tamed with several locks. It was an amazing experience to sail through the ...

Viking was recommended by a friend who had cruised with them before. I had never been on a river cruise, but I enjoyed every second on the cruise. The cabins were very comfortable despite a small size. they are well thought out with a lot of storage space. The food was amazing. Since I was in Portugal, I wanted to taste all of the local flavors. If something is not of your liking, no problem, ...

Portugal has been on our bucket list for some time. We are big fans of Port so it made perfect sense to take the river cruise. We were pleased with the Helgrim's staff and found them to be friendly, helpful and courteous. This was our 3rd river/sailing cruise and our first with Viking. The food options on the ship were very good as well as the beverage selections within the Silver Seas package ...

Viking provided a wonderful and memorable land and river cruise experience for me and my adult daughter. We loved everything about Portugal from the moment we landed at the airport. The staff on the Viking Hemming and extended members (land, tour guides, bus drivers, etc.) were all exemplary and went out of their way to ensure you had an enjoyable and more than satisfactory experience. The ...

Quite an amazing trip with Viking up the Douro River in Portugal. I had experienced another river cruise line for a trip in France, but this trip on Viking convinced me I would ONLY book with Viking going forward! What a top-notch and first class operation! There was ZERO stress in every aspect of their service and the trip. From embarking on the ship, our room was fabulous and kept to the ...

Definitely a cruise to be immersed in the culture of the area. It’s not for those looking for casinos, specialty restaurants, or glitzy entertainment. This is an adult ( over 18) ship limited to just over a hundred people. It is definitely a river cruise that I would highly recommend. I would also suggest that passengers do the pre cruise with three days in Madrid, Spain. Although there are ...

It was pretty obvious that this ship had a very cohesive staff. They seemed to work well together and actually like each other. This helped make our experience great. When my husband became sick for a few days, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and cared for. The entertainment was delightful, the meals outstanding, rooms clean and comfortable and the excursions ...

This was our 10th Viking cruise. We have done both river and ocean cruises. On this trip, Viking did its usual excellent job. The ship was beautiful. The crew/service was first class. The food was great. The reason I could not give this five stars, unlike every Viking cruise we have done before, is that Portugal paled in comparison to pretty much all the other places we have been, with Viking and ...

It was a wonderful trip! We were surrounded by people quality from leadership to staff to guides to fellow Vikings, fabulous food & drink, unique opportunities to immerse in the culture while enjoying beautiful scenery everywhere we went. It wasn’t a relaxing trip - there was a lot to do & see & learn. I loved that most of the excursions were included so we got to experience a lot of ...

We had never been to Portugal, so this cruise seemed like a good way to learn about the country, its people, products, and history. We were not disappointed! We especially enjoyed all of the winery visits and port wine samplings! Program Director Radim was very knowledgeable about all things Portuguese, as well as details of each port of call along the Douro River. He was also in Madrid, where ...
