Viking Odin River Cruises Reviews

BUYER BEWARE!! Viking purports to be the cruise line that takes care of everything for you. You can't even book a cruise on line - you need either a travel agent or a Viking representative to do it for you. They take wonderful care of you.....Until you pay your money. Once you pay, you are on your own. We paid $18,989 for a 12 day Prague to Paris cruise. Viking took care of the airfare. We ...

We started poorly. The hotel in Paris was not able to have our rooms ready by the 3 p.m. deadline. Instead, we were not allowed into our room until well after 5 p.m. Our wake-up call did not materialize and thus we missed our assigned bus ride to our port of embarkation, Trier. Our cruise should have lasted 6 nights. Instead, the Odin broke down and we were stranded at a small German town - ...

First, the cruise ship had absolutely no facilities except one lounge and one dining room which are extremely small and the décor was very ...

My wife and I took the Viking Odin Christmas Market trip over Christmas week. It was supposed to be a river cruise from Nuremberg to Budapest. We only made it to the first port. For the brief time we were on the ship things were ok. The staterooms are nice as are most of the staff. The food was just ok and the onboard entertainment was poor. Once we were told that the ship could not go any further ...

The problems started a day before we were due to leave, when we received a phone call at home stating that due to high water on the Danube we would have to spend the first night in hotel in Budapest. We actually spent 3 nights in hotels, 2 nights of ...
