Is a river cruise for you!?
"For a bit over $13,000 I guess I would thought there would be an area you could grab a bag of chips, granola bar, banana - something!Also, if you wanted a snack, or small bite to eat between meals, there was no option other than the pretzels or peanuts you could get at the bar...."Read More

We chose this cruise because we had done the Rhine Getaway and wanted an extended time through Hungary and Austria. We did a pre-cruise in Budapest to recover from jet lag and enjoyed browsing Central Market and touring the Jewish Synagogue. We did several included excursions on our cruise and three optional excursions…the best one was the barge tour in Kinderdyjk, Amsterdam to visit a working ...

We really wanted to try a Viking river cruise and this itinerary visited many cities that we had not seen before. We arrived in Budapest 2 days before embarking on the cruise and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Our hotel was about 100 yards from where the ship was docked, so finding the ship and embarking was a breeze. The only issue that some may find difficult is that getting to the ship ...

I choose this trip because I was invited. The food and service was too notch, and the excursions were very informative. While on the ship, I can say it got pretty boring. There is little to nothing to do other than sit and read or talk to people (which was nice), but you can only do that so many hours a day. It was disappointing to learn - 4 or 5 days into the cruise - that the sun deck was going ...

We have wanted to take a river cruise for a long time. My husband retired this year. He has never been to Europe. There was a party of 7 with our group. The cruise was awesome, Sometimes felts a little rushed on the included excursions and wish there had been more time for shopping. But all in all it was awesome. The ship crew was out of this world and made the trip amazing. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

brochures and promo not accurate. We knew low bridges would restrict us from using the sun deck at time. But not for days on end. We knew at some ports of call we would be double and triple banked. It happened too many times to be comfortable. So don’t get a Balcony. All this information should be spelt out and told how many times it would happen. in the promo. Cologne was the only port we had ...

We chose this cruise because we had done the same cruise from the other direction, viz. Budapest to Amsterdam in October 2012, and enjoyed it so much we encouraged friends to go and we accompanied them. Unfortunately because of the the hot weather and lack of rainfall the Rhine and Danube were impassable in several spots. This required meeting the ship just past Cologne instead of at Amsterdam. ...

Hang up you clothes..fed and wine Top quality. Not worth paying extra for a cabin with balcony as most travel is done at night . Organisation was superb many thanks to our program director Kane Davies..a wonderful guy..must have worked 24 hrs a day. Wish they had spent more time at main places. Prefer coach tours...see a lot more as you travel in the day..get used to packing your bag ...

This was a dream come true bucket list trip that we were fortunate to be able to do with good friends. We were NOT disappointed. The ship was lovely. The staff-delightful. Program Director Wez was a delight! So helpful and fun and talented. Food very good (Chef Jan should have his own cooking show!!!). Special meal representing each port was great fun. Our head waiter, Normandy, was so ...

The cruise was very enjoyable - staff of the ship was top notch. State rooms were clean, well designed with great attention to detail. Service was excellent. Food was good. We really enjoyed our wait staff. They were friendly, helpful and all-around wonderful. Shore excursions were well organized and the local guides were, for the most part, interesting and well informed. We felt rushed at ...

We decided to take this cruise because our experience on our trip through Russia was so positive. On that cruise we were a group of 6 and here just my husband and I . It was a very different experience. The most remarkable was meeting another couple who got married the same date we did, December 14, 1968. Never before had we found that. The ship is rather comfortable but when the upper deck is ...
