Viking Magni River Cruises Reviews

We have travelled with Viking 3 times. Twice pre-covid and now just recently this past August, post-covid. The company is night/day and not for the better. Our first trip was the Cities of Lights tour wherein high river levels caused severe deviations and constant bussing from Wurzburg. It was not pleasant but in the end the ships staff and PD as well as Captain tried to make up for the ...

I had the opportunity to take a Rhine/Main/Danube Viking River Cruise in August 2023 on the Viking Magni (Originally scheduled for Baldur). As you continue to read through the review keep in mind Europe was experiencing some of the hottest temperatures for the summer of 2023. Early in the trip the sliding glass door to our balcony locked behind us. Fortunately, our neighbor was still in their ...

We chose the cruise for the same reasons as Judhess. Because of the low water, our trip was a big disappointment. After the first night spent on the Viking Idun in Budapest, we made our first transition to another Viking Ship (this time the Magni). And, still, after a few days we made a change to another ship and then the last night to a hotel in Amsterdam. We spent many hours being ...

Beware the excellent marketing pitch given by Viking Cruise line. To see their commercials you imagine days of luxurious vistas and exclusive sightseeing.

When we were on board, we were often tied to boats three abreast or moored in industrial shipyards. The view from our patio was the ...

Recommended by travel agent. The ship allowed an obviously sick man to board and infect numerous passengers and the crew. He should because of that person, I was infected with the flu and missed 80% of the cruise and tours, being confined to may stateroom because of illness caused by the sick individual. It was very unfair. One of the tours had to be cancelled because of a river closure. ...

The Viking River Cruise longship from Amsterdam to Budapest doesn't go to Budapest it goes to Nuremberg, then to where you get to pack your bags again then get on a bus for three + hours to Passau where you get another barge. And unpack your bags. That's right your Viking Longship is a barge. A self powered barge, but a barge just the same. Which is not all bad. Stable and roomy come to mind. All ...

We wanted to see the Tulips and the Flower Festival. The weather turned out to be terrible, we had rain, hail, cold, winds... even the guides commented about the weather. Husband came down with pneumonia and the staff and crew offered NO HELP. I had to complain and complain to get them to take me to a pharmacy in town on the last day or so before we finished the cruise. River cruises, ...
