Europe Viking Gymir Europe Cruise Reviews

We've always had amazing cruises with Viking! This time we chose their Romantic Danube cruise. It started in Budapest. Oh, how I wish we had had more time there! What a wonderful place full of life. We fell in love with the beauty, the restaurants, the people and the history. Also visited Vienna, Bratislava, Passau, Regensburg. Oh, my goodness, it was all so beautiful. Their included ...

This was our first cruise and I wanted to experience cruising on a smaller scale. We chose Viking for their stellier reputation and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Everything from booking to the entire on board experience ran like a well oiled machine - not a single hitch. I believe all of Viking's river cruise ships are similar in design, but we felt fortunate to be on the Gymir as ...

Chose this cruise because of the Castles. Loved the boat (Gymir) and staff was fantastic. Staff was very professional yet fun. River levels were perfect. Would definitely recommend the boat and the cruise. Pre trip in Lucerne was great and Viking staff there was very helpful. Post trip in Amsterdam was great but the Viking staff there was not the best. We would definitely cruise with Viking ...

Great cruise from start to finish. We had no problems with low water as we were cruising the last week of September. Viking included an excursion for each port. The included excursions were great usually a walking tour of the town which included the church then there was time to browse on your own.. I also purchased some optional tours. Our favorites were the optional food tour in Strasburg and ...

When I saw the 25th Anniversary Promotion for included international airfare and silver spirits it was a win win. We went on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel, SW. We were further pleased that we could fly out our nearest airport and not have to drive to Charlotte or Atlanta. From our first boarding to end we were pleased to meet many wonderful people from fellow travelers to crew officers ...

I have always wanted to go on an European river cruise. Viking made it easy for us to choose the Rhine Getaway. It was a fantastic trip. George, our program director, made the trip very special. We traveled with a fantastic group of folks who were very easy to socialize with. The excursions were great, particularly in Speyer, Strasbourg, and Cologne. The Viking personnel were very friendly ...

My husband and I selected this cruise to see the Rhine again but from the water this time. This was our 30th anniversary and we wanted to return to the Rhine as we were last there 26 years earlier, but were not able to cruise on the Rhine at that time. We were looking forward to relaxing in comfort while traveling from port to port. Instead the we were forced to endure a poorly planned bus trip. ...

We chose a Viking River Cruise based on a friend's recommendation. She and her family had previously gone on a Viking River Cruise - I think Eastern Mediterranean. They loved it. As did we. The attention to detail was amazing and delightful. Ship staff even remembered names. Anna, one of the wait staff, was a particular favorite - she's absolutely fabulous! Everyone, from the ship's captain, ...

Chose this cruise because it was #1 on my "bucket list". Traveled with three other couples. I took the pre-cruise excursion in Basel while the other three couples flew into Munich and toured there. Was highly disappointed we couldn’t book the Lake Como Italy tour. Originally had it booked for 2020 until Covid hit. Three rebooking’s later, we finally got our trip in 2022. Unfortunately I couldn’t ...

Had not been there before. I loved the cruise and the extended trips on both ends. The local guides provided excellent information. My favourite tour was in Lucerne when we went on a boat cruise across the lake, then boarded a cog train to ascend a mountain, travelled by bus to a dairy farm and on to a cheese factory where we made cheese and ended the adventure with a fondue dinner . A ...
