Europe Viking Var Europe Cruise Reviews

A truly memorable experience with native perspectives on the region's history, epicurean flavors and aromas, recipes, all this and the life-long benefits of meeting dear sailing companions and fellow travelers. Every nautical mile between Regensburg to Passau to Krems to Vienna and ultimately docking in Budapest was wonderful. The color, the history, the language, the music, operas and ...

This was our first river cruise and Viking did not disappoint! We were treated like royalty the minute we boarded. Our stateroom was bigger than I expected, the shower was a good size and Nick, our room steward could not do enough for us, even to looking for a lost earring. We dined in the dining room for each meal and were wonderfully served by Ryan who remembered our names instantly. The food ...

This was our second Viking cruise, we previously did the Rhine cruise. You can't go wrong with Viking. The level of service and quality of tours is really amazing. The itinerary for the Danube cruise is a great mix of large cities - Budapest and Vienna - and smaller towns - Passau and Regensburg. The beauty of a Viking cruise is that you know you'll see all the sights in each port and enjoy ...

We had a great time. On board staff was excellent. Social Director did an outstanding job; full of energy. They did everything thing they could to make our trip excellent. It was the 1st cruise of the season for this crew and boat. Had a problem with one of the engines. Had to leave Budapest early and got to Vienna almost a day late. Viking let us re-arrange or cancel excursions with full refund. ...

We have been on 20 or more Ocean cruises and wanted to try a river cruise. We loved the itinerary, starting in Budapest with an overnight allows you to take in that beautiful city in All it’s nighttime glory. Next stop Vienna for another overnight we took the optional bus tour to Bratislava and it was well worth it on the second day there. Then it was on to Krems for a visit to Visit the ...

Overall the trip was great. Viking does an excellent job of catering to the guests. The ship is very clean and the staff was great. The excursions were very enjoyable and well organized ... there was only one excursion that we did not enjoy in Austria one evening. The food was great with choices from an "American" menu or from the menu in whatever country you were visiting. You had the ...

We chose this cruise because we had not been to this part of Europe and because the shore excursions allowed us to learn so much about key cities and areas of this part of Europe. Our expectations were more than met! One of the best parts of the cruise were the truly exceptional quality of the shore tour guides and the fact that there was always someone from Viking there to ensure things went ...

We have done other cruises before, but by far this was this best cruise we have taken! The crew was amazing, from the Captain of the cruise, to the director of the cruise who managed to learn every passenger's name and utilized it each time we met, to the servers who gave us the best dining experience each time, to the crewmen who took care of the ship, were all excellent! All the crew ...

We did a pre-cruise in Nuremberg which was outstanding. The Grand was lovely and the breakfast was delightful. Staff at the hotel were charming and eager to help. The excursions took us through the history with telling us information we hadn't heard before or had forgotten. Ex- The Grand Hotel is where the lawyers, etc., were housed during the trials. Our Cruise was fabulous! We could not have ...

We had heard about the Viking cruises from friends and were excited to try it out. We were not disappointed. I can't say enough about our cruise. The ship was was clean and modern. The crew was amazing! By the second day they knew our names and what we drank. The chef provided a yummy menu with plenty of options. The food was excellent! The tour guides for on-shore excursions were ...
