Viking River Cruises Reviews

Been on many Viking river cruises and things have gone down such as food. Just disappointed also with some of the behaviors of passengers. Not your typical river cruise. It just has changed from even 2019. Maybe cutting corners after Covid. Crew was great as always. Some of the regular excursions such as Heidelberg are know paid excursions. Jeans t shirts and flip flops in dining room which was ...

The room has strong odor of sewage backup. This would spread of disease. Eventally lots of people were sick. They got diarrhea or coughing. I and my wife got coughing and took 3 weeks to recover. Reported the problem but had a bit improvment only. The bath room ventilation fan didn't run. We were told to change ship due to the low water level. The new ship has simila problem. You can hear water ...

European Sojourn: 22 days from Bucharest to Amsterdam. July - August 2023 My wife and I have enjoyed almost a dozen ocean cruises including two very favorable cruises on Viking. This was our first river cruise, and we had heard so many favorable things about it. We have traveled extensively throughout Europe and hoped this would add favorably to our great experiences. Unfortunately, a ...

The crew was great! Worked very hard and made our not so good cruise a bit better. We started our cruise in Lyon with our private driver, driving us around in traffic for 45 minutes trying to find where our boat was docked. They had switched locations and the last location they sent was incorrect. Driver dropped us off, and after many unanswered calls with Viking we found where our ship was ...

I just took my first cruise ever. I chose Viking based on reviews and advertising about the extremely high level/quality of service. I unfortunately did not experience that on my trip. Many things occurred including with service during meals and servicing of my cabin, but the two biggest were that I was injured during dinner when the boat hit the side of the river/canal with the force of an ...

We choose this cruise based on itinerary. It was a big mistake. Never book airfare through the cruise line. Cabins are small. Balconies are small. Entertainment is horrible. We will never book another Viking River Cruise. Customer service is not helpful at all. This is in regards to Viking Var river cruise 30 June 2023 to 07 July 2023. There was a major problem with the air booked ...

Viking is rated #1 in river cruises. Sailing the Danube was on our bucket list. We have sailed about 30 times on cruises, both rivers & oceans, in the US & internationally. We went “all-in” with Viking to handle our air (business class), transfers, cruise, & excursions. Viking has contracts with certain airlines & was not able to book direct flights from Dallas to Munich, we had a ...

We wanted to celebrate our anniversary in a special way and always wanted to see parts of Europe we may never have a chance to see again, so the itinerary worked out with Viking. Glowing reviews from past and current travelers, the advertisements and talking with friends and family about their experiences convinced us to give it a try. We decided to arrive early in Budapest 2 days before ...

If anyone is thinking about a VIKING river cruise please take note, Dont do it !! Consider AMA, we paid £1k less and it was FABULOUS. We have just wasted £7k on the worst cruise ive ever been on. Dont pay extra for a balcony you cannot use it. There is always a boat docked next door and you cannot use it. The cleaner comes into your cabin when you are having Breakfast, for all you will be out all ...

Ugh. My mom and I have traveled on Viking several times before COVID, and things have definitely changed. While I realize that the cruise industry was hard hit during the pandemic. things have definitely changed on Viking for the worse. First, there is far less attention to detail - the minimal staff seemed stressed and, at times frustrated that we were there. When we checked in our room smelled ...
