Viking Idi River Cruises Reviews

The river cruise itself was good, except we could not use the upper deck. First because it rained a little, which we expected, but with the coming of all the low bridges and locks the upper deck was unavailable the majority of the time. Because of this I would not recommend this particular river cruise. The customer service before our trip was not my expected Viking experience. I never received ...

Our second Viking River cruise did not disappoint. Knowing what to expect this time made packing and expectations easy. Our cruise director, captain and ship manager went above and beyond. Our weather was not up to par yet we couldn’t control that. The ship provided umbrellas for those rainy days and made sure excursions took into account the rain. The cruise was the right mixture of excursion and ...

Chose Viking based on so many good reviews from friends. Bad start, 1st night. Watery crème brûlée and flavorless salmon. Food did get better. Many of the staff were friendly and engaging, but too many were not. Tour buses on 2d leg of cruise were old and cramped, compared to the first few buses. Tour guides were amazing. SUGGESTION: Cruise director (who had a pack on during ...

We chose this cruise as my husband and I have mainly been on ocean cruises, and wanted to experience a river cruise. We have sailed on Viking ocean before, so we felt that choosing Viking River cruise would be a safe bet. The itinerary was well chosen, but it was the optional tour to Rothenburg ob de Tauber (in Germany) that was our absolute favorite! The old part of the city was wonderfully ...

Loved Prague. Viking booked us a hotel near the Old Town section, and everything was perfect. One of my favorite cities. From Prague we bused into Germany to get on our cruise. The staff, as always, were fantastic! Our room was exactly as we expected. We love the balcony and spent our evenings sitting out and enjoying the passing scenery. The food was good, not great, but very good. We ...

Recommended by friends. We went as a group of 10 friends and it was a wonderful experience to be on this cruise all together. The crew was great, extremely helpful. The rooms were very comfortable (I recommend a balcony room) and the food was excellent and plentiful. We signed up for the beverage package and did not regret it. The site trips were well organized. Down points are that we spent quite ...

This was Patti Michlin and me our first Cruise with Viking. We choose to take part with the journey called “ City of Lights “ from Prague to Paris. My Points of concern : There where too many Bus transportations , especially in Towns and Villages that where noted on the Program such as Heidelberg where we where transported by Bus from Doc to the City of Heidelberg quite a long Distance to ...

My husband had never been to Paris and I had never been to Prague so Cities of Light was a great choice for us. We had taken a Danube trip on Viking with my parents for their 50th anniversary and were very impressed with the company, the ship, the tours and the food. In comparison, this trip as a bit disappointing. The food was okay, not remarkable. The views, bus drivers and tours were wonderful ...

Paris to The Swiss Alps - this was my first river cruise. Chose Viking on its fine reputation and it didn't disappoint. Everything from airport arrival pick up, embarkation, disembarkation, and return to airport went smoothly. The hotels were excellent. Everything about the ship was excellent:, staff, service, amenities, food - couldn't be better. The tour guides on the excursions were ...

This was our first river cruise. We were on the Viking Idi sailing June 27, 2018 from Amsterdam to Basel. Since this was our first river cruise after many ocean cruises on other lines, we did not know what to expect as to the food. Breakfast was super....many choices and all were tasty and served quickly. As to lunch and dinner....another story. We are not "foodies" and not very particular, ...
