Europe Viking Atla Europe Cruise Reviews

I went along with my wife and some friends for this cruise to see parts of central Europe along the Danube and enjoy the winter Christmas markets. For ME, it didn't really work. Others really enjoyed it. There was a large social group travelling together and they turned the trip into too much of a party boat. It was difficult to have low key interactions with other travelers. The tours ...

After hearing how great Viking was from many, people, we found the whole experience to be quite disappointing when compared with Oceania and Tauck. We booked business class air and a suite for the Danube at Christmas. They make you pay in full far in advance. Working with Viking is extremely difficult. The air department, which you pay extra to be able to call are constrained by rules and ...

I wanted to see Germany and Austria, also to see the Christmas markets. My friend asked me if I was interested in going to Germany, and since my heritage is predominately German, I accepted. The food was AMAZING, and wonderful. Our servers learned our names and preferences the first day; they were wonderful and I hated to leave them behind. There were so many itineraries and things to do; I ...

We go on cruises 2 to 5 times per year but this was first experience with a river cruise. Though the cruise was very nice there were just too many things we didn’t like that will keep us from trying again. Ports: Every port stop was great! However, we did expect there to be a bit more variety in the Christmas Markets at stop. We found very little differences (with the exception of the food) ...

My wife and I did the Paris to Prague river cruise about 8 years ago and really enjoyed all the tours of the museums and history. Wonderful castle tours and guides that knew all the history, so it was past time to do another cruise. We decided we really wanted to visit Budapest and decided upon the Romantic Danube river cruise. This was very different from 8 years ago, by signing up for ...

This was our second Viking river cruise, we took my Dad (90) last year on the Rhine Getaway and he loved it so much, we booked the Danube. My Wife and I are in our 60s and have been on dozens of ocean cruises but our second river cruise. Here is an honest review. The Good 1. Clean boat and easy to navigate. 2. Food was better than expected and better than last year. 3. Overall, staff ...

The difficulty in writing this review is in keeping it simple. So perhaps a bulleted list: 1. Cruise Director (Jochgum "Joey" Schuijt) was phenomenal - he kept us informed, engaged, and interested the whole time. 2. The Maitre D' (Aryen) was the perfect food guide, tipping me off which way to go with each meal. 3. Chef Milos brought the goods! A wide variety of dishes and flavors the ...

The overall cruise was excellent. Everything was first class from the cabins, meals and service It was also very nice in that meals and activities on board were not formal. We tried to sit at the same section for dinner every night as our waiter was outstanding. We got personnel attention from him. The only drawback to the trip was the pre and extended cruise excursions which were not as well ...

Worry-free vacation! Viking takes care of airline tickets, transport from airport to hotel, transport from hotel to boat, even transport for extensions. There is also a representative on site with suggestions for activities and restaurants during extensions and on arrival. Viking also takes care of luggage, just identify on arrival and at other various times, Viking staff loads the luggage and ...

This was our first Viking river cruise and will not be our last. Comfortable ship, very friendly and helpful crew, great food and a good selection of included and optional shore excursions. While the low water level resulted in meeting the ship 75 miles from the initial port we were offered a bus trip back to Regensburg. We chose Viking because of the itinerary that gave us more time in Vienna and ...
