We surprised my mother on this cruise and it was a surprise to us how much we loved the smaller river cruise. The pre and post trip excursions were amazing, the ship and staff were top shelf, and the tours and guides they provided were excellent. Our favorite tours were the night tours! My hubby thought he would be bored on a small boat but he loved it and we were never bored! Budapest and Prague ...
My husband and I chose the Danube cruise because we had never been to these Eastern European countries and we were interested in the Prague extension. The Viking staff made everything so easy for us. The tour guides for each stop were knowledgeable and gave us insight into each place as they were from the area.
Our time onboard was not only comfortable but so much fun. The staff was so very ...
This was my 3rd Viking cruise and my wife's 6th. Overall, it was fabulous. The cruise director, Edina, was so very helpful and her tour of Budapest at night was a highlight. Maître d Martina was a joy - the food on this cruise was superb - a cut above the already superior Viking cuisine. The destinations were also wonderful as were the guides in each destination - Achim in Vienna, Ester in ...
This was our first experience with Viking. It was wonderful. A great way to explore Central Europe. The food was unbelievable. The tours and cultural experiences were over the top. Something for everyone. We have always appreciated classical music experiences. Sitting in on an intimate concert with the world famous Vienna Boys Choir was unreal. There were just forty guests in a beautiful ...
The accommodations were great. The service was great. The food choices and quality were great. The sights from the ship were spectacular and the port choices were wonderful. The included excursions at each port city were informative. Language was not a barrier.
Our program director was very accommodating and very helpful. She made sure each guest had a wonderful experience.
We enjoyed ...
We chose this cruise because of our friends’ experience with Viking.
Viking exceeded all expectations in care, planning, accommodations, and value.
Our favorite memory of our trip was the personal interaction with the fabulous Viking staff . Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. They made everything less stressful which meant a great deal to my wife and me.

This was our second cruise with Viking. The first, in 2019, was from Prague to Paris (from east to west) so it made sense that this one would be from north to south. We also wanted to replicate our experience on the first cruise; great staff, great food, and great logistics. We were not disappointed!
Of all the elements that we could comment on the quality of the staff is the one that stands ...
We wanted to see as much of Europe as we could in a couple of weeks so we chose the Grand European from Budapest to Amsterdam. This trip started out with a smooth arrival and easy transfer to the ship and only got better from there. The itinerary covers such a wide range of places. Even though many of the cities are in Germany we were amazed at how different they were. Each had its own ...
My wife had some trepidation about the length and itinerary of the Grand European. It was without a doubt the best vacation I ever had. My wife feels the same way. Everything was ABSOLUTELY perfect. All excursions were curated perfectly. The staff, from housekeeping to the senior members, was outstanding. The food on the ship was amazing. The staff was extremely attentive, while not being ...
Always wanted to experience Europe & felt the leisure trip via river boat was a great way to do that.Since we originally planned to sail in May, 2020, we had to wait 2 years.In many respects, it was worth the wait but issues that came up made me believe that the Viking folks in LA are clueless.As an opportunity came up to get a hotel for our first 2 days in Amsterdam actually in Amsterdam instead ...
