Viking Senior Cruises Reviews

To begin with the advertisements of Viking on our local Public Broadcasting Station more than piqued my interest. I did A LOT of research in choosing a cruise line. Our friends cruise every year and they choose another line and love it. I compared several and Viking always came out on top. I have toured western Europe on my own and loved all the meticulous planning. I hesitated having someone ...

We chose this cruise for the cities it visited and the great price value we were offered. We wouldn't take a European River cruise with anyone but Viking. We had taken the Viking Rhine cruise several years ago and been absolutely delighted by the quality of crew, dining, accommodations, and excursions. The Viking Vilhalm cruise on the Danube was delightful every day. Free walking tours in ports ...

Did Amsterdam to Lucerne years ago and really enjoyed my time. Decided to travel this time with my husband and in-laws. Stayed in Como, Italy for the pre-extension which I highly advise to anyone who can afford it. The coach ride through the Alps was absolutely incredible. Did a post stay in Amsterdam and went to the Keukenhof gardens during peak bloom, which I also highly advise. All of the staff ...

We received a pamphlet in the mail and had heard good things about Viking. Our travel agent coordinated everything and it all ran smoothly. We had been booked for April/20, but rebooked for April/21 then it was finally a go in 2022. Viking gave us plenty of incentive to keep rebooking. From the time we boarded, attention to detail was evident. We always knew where we had to be. Staff was warm and ...

In April we cruised the Danube River celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary. We embarked in Passau, Germany. Along the Danube we visited Linz, Austria, where the Danube was Blue. We walked the Market Hall, the Mozarthaus, the Renaissance Landhaus tower and Hauptplatz, the city’s main square and New Cathedral. In Krems, Austria we visited the splendid Benedictine Abbey of Gottweig. We saw the ...

This was our second river cruise aboard a Viking Longboat and we returned because the first trip was such a fabulous experience! In honesty, Viking cruises are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! On Viking everything is top notch, from the staff, the tours, the itinerary, the food, the amenities and the whole experience. The tour guides are excellant and using the listening devices ...

Service on the ship is absolutely the best I have ever been treated in my life. The wait staff was superb. Most of the meals were sit down table service with tablecloth and crystal. The boat was super new and in its first year of operation so everything was very new and the boat was designed for the best sailing experience. The windows in the dining and bar areas were huge--giving an unlimited ...

We chose this cruise because a) I wanted to be away for 2 weeks and b) the Rhine has been on the bucket list for ages. There were only 73 guests on board, not unusual for the first voyage of the season apparently. There were 4 Brits on board, including us, and 2 Canadians. The rest of the guests were American. Our fellow guests were a delight. They were interesting and interested in the ...

We chose a Viking European River Cruise because the itinerary offered was one we were looking for. Package price was attractive. All of the stops along the way were well served with excursions that were well planned and well executed. The best highlights of each port were presented. We had a veranda suite giving us some extra space (which was indeed at a premium) but the 'sofa' was ...

This was our first river cruise, but we have already booked another for next year. We had a fabulous experience on the Tulips and Windmills cruise, in spite of some chilly/rainy weather the first few days. The crew was completely attentive and all of the logistics from greeting at the airport to transfer to the ship and check in was perfect. The quality of the excursions was excellent and the ...
