Viking Senior Cruises Reviews

This was our first river cruise and we absolutely loved it. The ship was nice and small to navigate and the service was intimate. The cruise director was so knowledgable and friendly. The rooms were so clean and inviting. The entire ship was new and did not look run down for how old the ship was. Each meal was a 5 star meal and it was very delicious! Each destination was amazing and the ...

Vilking staff were so helpful kind and efficient. Really wonderful. Food was well presented and consistently good. Regional dishes/wine/beer are included when possible. Don’t forget to ask for regional -included wine or beer.. as it changes. Many meals include both menu ordering and buffet. They individually cared for those with dietary restrictions. Tip: (just ask) I forgot to order my salad ...

Went with a few friends and family to see the Christmas markets. I would recommend this to everyone. The 2 bad things were that they had a very heavy rainy season. This made getting from Passau to Budapest very challenging for the crew since we have to go under bridges. We did get stuck in Vienna for an extra night. That was not vikings first rodeo with theses issues. That made things happen so we ...

We were on the last ship to depart Passau for Budapest along the Danube for the Christmas Markets. We left on December 20th after a stay in Passau. We had rain and as the river began to rise it became questionable about making our destination in Budapest by ship. We were able to make our scheduled stops in Linz and in Krems. We departed Krems after the morning excursions in order to get ahead of ...

the overall experience was really disappointing. I felt that Viking skimped on alot of small but very important items. First off, the buffet when we arrived on the ship was sparce, not many selections. However, the check in could not have been more efficient. We have been on close to 10 cruises so far and I would rate Viking at the lowest end of the cruises. Staff was great but there was ...

My husband and I chose this cruise almost a year in advance in anticipation of coming months of recovery from surgeries we both needed. We thought (rightly it turns out) that having something wonderful to look forward to would help us to focus on getting better. In particular, we chose the Danube River Cruise at Christmas because we wanted to see the many beautiful, glittering Christmas markets ...

We chose the cruise as it was to celebrate our 25th wedding Anniversary and we wanted to do something special. It started on my birthday and ended on our 26th Anniversary. We liked the idea of a small ship, less people and where we could see the shore at all times. Not only was that provided to us but we got treated like royalty. From the Program Director George to our cleaning lady Catalina ...

Review What a marvelous river cruise! Let me just begin and end with that statement! I traveled with my sister and we experienced the Danube Christmas markets cruise in December of this year. The ship certainly delivered in all areas. Cabin – we had a French balcony cabin for this winter cruise. The room was on the second (main) floor and the picture window with a sliding glass door and ...

I was shocked when many of the people cruising were coughing and staying in their staterooms, the staff of the ship did nothing to investigate or limit the transmission of COVID to other passengers. My wife and I tried to stay distanced from those who were symptomatic. But when I became ill on day 8 and tested positive for COVID, I asked what the company policy was for COVID. I was told by the ...

Having lived in Germany for three years several years ago, we loved the Christmas season and markets. Our first Viking cruise was from Nuremberg to Budapest in 2019 - pre-COVID. We were so impressed that we decided to take another trip. The Christmas market trip was a "whim" trip so that we could visit and re-visit the Christmas markets. This time, we traveled from Budapest to Regensburg and ...
