Europe Viking Hervor Europe Cruise Reviews

I was in Europe for work and decided to bring my wife and tack on some vacation time. As we were in the Netherlands, the Rhine was an obvious choice. After researching options we settled on Viking and have been very pleased with our choice. The itinerary was excellent, started in Amsterdam and finished in Basel Switzerland. Probably 70 % of the actual cruising was done at night (parts of the ...

Have always wanted to see the castles along the Rhine from the vantage point of a ship. Exceeded expectations and I would say that it was just one of the many highlights of this trip. Kinderdijk, Cologne, Rudesheim, Colmar, Strasbourg, Amsterdam... all were amazing locations. The pace was well designed. Food was great. Mixture of adventures and downtime were good. Enjoyed the unexpected ...

The Rhine River Getaway was recommended by a family friend, and all our expectations were exceeded. We got a discount because of the recommendation, and we purchased the Silver Spirits package — the wisest decision we made! The cabin was five-star hotel quality as was the housekeeping service. Really enjoyed watching the Dutch, German and French scenery as we floated by at a leisurely pace! The ...

We did the Amsterdam-to-Basel cruise on the Hervor in late September 2023. This was our first river cruise. We've been on several ocean cruises. So it took a while to adjust to the smaller ship. For example... There's only one dining room and everyone eats at the same time. So that can get a bit hectic, and often it was difficult to find a place to sit. My wife and I were traveling by ...

We chose a Viking River cruise down the Rhine as the best option to see as much of the Rhine valley as possible. We started in Amsterdam, then to the Kinderdijk windmills, Köln, Koblenz, down the middle Rhine to Rüdensheim, Speyer, Strasbourg, Breisach, and finally to Basel where we flew home. We participated in all the "included" excursions and were very happy with the guides. They were all ...

Hubby has always claimed he is not "cruise ship material". After our Rhine River Cruise, he is "all-in" for our next Viking adventure! The food was exceptional, bartenders fabulous, and the crew is the BEST ever! We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and Jen "rocked it" as a Cruise Director. Trivia Night was so much fun; we danced, drank, and did lots of woo-hoos! My hubby is now a believer ...

This was our first river cruise, and we are so happy we chose Viking! Everything was perfect. The ship was beautiful, the staff was the absolute best!!! Everything was so organized and well planned. The first night after the cocktail hour, Jen, our cruise director - who was phenomenal!!!!!!, gave an overview of what would happen the next day and that happened every evening. You always knew ...

We had a wonderful time on this cruise. We started by extending our cruise by 3 days in the Lake Como region of Italy. That was a great extension, and well worth the cost. Then we rode a bus across the Swiss Alps to get to our ship in Basel, Switzerland. The views in the alps were fabulous. The cruise itself was great, with stops in several smaller towns that are steeped in history. We saw a ...

Viking River Cruise / Hervor Amsterdam to Basal July /August 2023 We chose a small quaint River cruise as we were under the impression it would be elegant and service +. Thus would be “ Our trip of a lifetime’ We saved for so long to go on something like this!! We all paid for the French Balcony rooms. We received just the opposite. We went with 2 other couples and we all felt we ...

We chose this cruise on the recommendation of friends. It was our first cruise of any type and were drawn by the relaxed itinerary, small ship population and daily historical excursions. We viewed several videos online in advance to acquaint ourselves with the ship's features and feel the Viking crew lived up to the representations in every way. We will cruise again when life permits, and will ...
