Viking Lofn River Cruises Reviews

Viking exceeded all our expectations for our first time cruise. The Viking cruise overall value and quality are top notch. Sites, tours, communication, ship, staff, ship captain, staff leaders, gourmet food, state room, entertainment, cleanliness, service, comfort, etc were all outstanding. Cruising on a river, only adults and the very small number of people are perfect. Evening entertainment was ...

We've been interested in a European River Cruise for some time, and Viking did not disappoint! The ship was immaculate, the service top notch, and the food was outstanding. We loved the free excursions in each port. Our cruise director, Oliver, was on top of everything, especially during the strike in France. Viking went above and beyond to assure the strike did not interfere with our ...

My husband and I chose the Rhine Getaway because we wanted to travel the Rhine. Viking did not disappoint. We had an amazing time. We loved the smaller group on the long boat and met wonderful people. The free daily excursions were amazing and the guides were knowledgeable. If you didn’t want to purchase any extra excursions you would see a lot and have a wonderful time. We did purchase a couple ...

We wanted to do this cruise, and the time lined up correctly with some other tour plans. The Viking experience - ship, food, and program - was simply outstanding. The program director, Gabor, was fantastic, and as a native of Hungary, was able to give many personal insights and great stories about life behind the Iron Curtain. The evening "port briefing" before dinner each day was informative ...

As first time cruisers, we didn't know what to expect. The cabin with a balcony was first class and much roomier than we anticipated. The table and chairs out on the balcony gave us the "living room" we needed and the rest of the room and bathroom were very comfortable. I loved being able to unpack and stow my suitcase under the bed! From the bottled water in our room everyday, to the 24/7 coffee ...

We chose Viking for their reputation, first. When they announced "free airfare" and $25 deposit, it was too good to pass up. At 60yrs. old, we were afraid we would be the youngest ones on the ship. That was far from the truth. We met really fun passengers older and younger than us. Viking took care of everything. We did as much or as little as we wanted, when it came time to tour or being ...

This is a great cruise to see the other side of Europe. These are mostly ex-Communist countries that have a different history than western Europe. Very informative and the Danube is a great river. The cities have a more "worn" look to them than in Germany and France, but this is not to diminish the cruise. I recommend it. In Osijek, Croatia, we were hosted in a local home, around their ...

This was our first river cruise, and first cruise with Viking. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the Viking Lofn experience. The crew were superb and really aimed to please. Our cruise took place while Viking was instituting a number of COVID protocols including daily testing on board and masking. Those have since been discontinued by Viking which would give me pause before doing another river cruise. ...

A simple answer is because COVID prevented us from sailing in 2020 and 2021 on our Russia cruise. After two cancellations we decided to take this cruise with the added cruise from Budapest to Bucharest. Our first cruise was the Grand European in 2016. This trip we added two more siblings making a full dozen passengers. Those on the first cruise enjoyed the Grand European so much we willingly ...

We chose this tour because the itinerary appealed to us. The entire cruise far exceeded our expectations. We give superlative reviews to the accommodations, the food and the excursions. Viking’s attention to the fine details is to be commended. We felt quite pampered during the entire trip. The cost of the tour may be more than the average cruise, but then, this was definitely not your average ...
