Viking Senior Cruises Reviews

Friends had recommended this particular cruise. It was our first Viking and river cruise experience. The cabin (Explorer Suite) was wonderful. As was the food. But it was just too cold to make use of the sun deck. Budapest and Vienna were great. Although we are not into classical music, we highly recommend the Vienna concert. It was an excursion highlight. As, of course, all of the Christmas ...

This review is for the ten night Passage to Eastern Europe itinerary. Kudos to Viking for their product quality. The hotels in Budapest and Bucharest were outstanding. Viking Ullur was perfectly maintained and the crew was friendly, competent and efficient. The quality of the food was excellent and the excursions were well organized and informative. The only truly negative part of this ...

Viking had us covered! We were happy with the food, the service, the excursions, the staff! I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. My only complaints were the very small beds (and we had issues with the reservation process which I will send in separately). I also wish the elevator went to the top floor, for those with mobility limitations this was an issue. Hope this will be a feature in future ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Our daughter lives in Germany and we wanted to try a River cruise - this was our first time. The itinerary was ideal and hit a series of stops that were very enticing: BudaPest, Wien, Krems, Pasau and finally Regensburg where our daughter met us at the end of the cruise. We were very fortunate to have ideal weather for the cruise which made it all the better. Discovered areas that we'd not ...

Overall it was a fantastic trip. I would highly recommend this trip and Viking Cruise Lines. Very impressed with the design and utilization of the space in our cabin. Food and service was good. Although, there a norovirus outbreak and once that happened dining room service slowed down and could be disorganized at times. All of the tour guides were informative and entertaining. The excursions ...

My wife had relatives that were from a number of the countries on this cruise which is why we chose it. We saw a diversity of sites which is what made this cruise a big hit. Some of the excursions were very unique, including visiting a person's home in Croatia and seeing old Communist era buildings during the excursions. Budapest was our favorite location, a beautiful city, especially at night. ...

Wanted to see this part of the world for the first time and to have another chance at exploring Budapest (missed out on our Viking voyage in 2017 because of one-day-late outbound flight). Enjoyed the mix of guests on this itinerary! Made connections with several different groups of people. Appreciate the included tours, guides, and briefings on the countries, cities, and regions, performing ...
