Viking Senior Cruises Reviews

We chose this cruise because we'd never been to Romania, Serbia, or Bulgaria, and we wanted additional time in Budapest, where we had been cut short on a prior trip. We did the pre-extension to Transylvania, which was wonderful. Gorgeous area, and beautiful mideval town of Brasov. I have taken 8 Viking River cruises, and have always been impressed with the ships and personnel. However, each ...

The entire crew was very nice to work with and helpful to the passengers. The food was very nice, with a wide variety of options. Many thanks to Gavin the cruise director who went above and beyond being helpful to those that need a little extra assistance. Be prepared for moderate to long walking on the shore visits. The amount of walking will be up to each individual. It is also helpful if you ...

We chose this cruise line based on recommendations by friends. It exceeded all expectations in all categories throughout our 15 day cruise. The staff worked seamlessly with Alaina’s excellent leadership! The food was top quality and absolutely delicious! The wait staff was professional, well organized, paid attention to details, all while being friendly. Each excursion was organized and timely. ...

This was our first river cruise and our first experience with Viking. This was true also for many of the other passengers we met. To the point: Viking has now set the bar for every other cruise we chose to go on in the future. We navigated their website with ease, communication was abundant and the actual cruise a vacation of a lifetime. Viking's reputation was one of the major factors ...

Cruise did not disappoint, and Viking was great to when issues arose. The Grand European Cruise was great with all the stops and planned events. Food fantastic and crew members were awesome! Definity a must for the bucket list The process of getting luggage to the ship was seamless and the transportation arranged was spot on. The staff is there for your every need and will help in assisting ...

The cruise was an awesome, once in a lifetime opportunity to see a great deal of Europe without the hassles of driving or taking a train. Viking does EVERYTHING to make the trip run smoothly. We had an exceptional weather which helped a lot for the tour of various cities. The daily tour excursions that were included were awesome. We paid for 2 that were beyond the free daily tours and they were ...

Our first Viking vacation and first river cruise. We did the 2 day add-on in Amsterdam and 2-day add-on in Budapest to help time zone adjust and get a chance to visit Budapest, a city we've never explored before. Viking made the arrangements and frankly, this was one of the highlights of our vacation. That is not to say that we didn't enjoy the river cruise, but the hotels were centrally ...

We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus. The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...

We particularly enjoy river cruising, especially on Viking! Our cruise was from Bucharest, Romania to Budapest, Hungary. We chose this cruise because we were curious about the countries in this part of the Danube River. As we expected, we had excellent guides and excursions. The countries we visited are still recovering from the Communist era and the guides were honest in their appraisal of the ...

We had the explorer suite which is phenomenal! It was like our own apartment to view the whole trip. We spent time on the balcony sipping wine and viewing the beautiful Danube from Budapest to Passau. Leaving Budapest at night, the lights were amazing as we traveled under each bridge. We also went through 9 or 10 locks. I was aware of and watched two that were huge and very cool to experience. ...
