Awesome trip
"There is definitely a more intimate feel than on a large cruise ship which is one of the many things that make the river cruises so enjoyable.I've traveled with Viking before and am looking forward to more trips in the future...."Read More

This was a bucket list cruise to visit the Christmas Markets along the Danube. Our tour guides at each of our stops were lots of fun and very knowledgeable of the history of the area. Our extra excursions were well thought out and enhanced those that were included. The food onboard the ship was delicious and gave us a cultural experience. The half meter brats at booths in the Christmas markets ...

Service is king when you are on a cruise...and Viking appears to be the last place in the world that you can actually find it. Housekeeping services multiple times per day--and automatically, not by special request. I have severe celiac disease, or what most would call a gluten allergy. This is one of those things that typically makes traveling a nightmare. Not with Viking. Every morning ...

My husband and I went on the Danube Waltz cruise with my sister and her husband. The four of us had a spectacular trip! All of the ports and excursions were fabulous! I learned so much on each of the tours. We also did the extension to Prague and that was well worth it! The food was delicious! I was concerned about meals, since I have a severe food allergy, but did not have any trouble at all. ...

I had often thought about going on a river cruise due to all the ads I’d seen. After talking to a close friend who went on one I was even more intrigued. Then I received word of an available deal that I felt I couldn’t turn down. From the very beginning with my contact of my agent Flynn everything was super easy and just as I was told it would be. With excursions included, fantastic food by a ...

We chose Viking based on the itinerary, and friends' recommendation. The services, friendly staff, arrangements from the time we stepped out of the plane to the time we left, we were well taking care of in each steps. We sure will be back. For the time being, we'll take more ocean cruises until we get older. River cruises do not have much entertainment on board. We have done 20+ ocean cruises ...

It would be hard to say what was the best part of the Viking Danube Waltz, because we had a great experience the entire time. Whether on the boat, experiencing terrific food and service, or on land with knowledgeable and engaging guides. There were 3 couples, all traveling on our first cruise, and by the second day we were trying to decide where to cruise next with Viking (it will be on the ...

Yes going again in December 2022 but it was supposed to be in December 2020 which was cancelled. Viking was recommended by my daughter in law's mother so we planned about 4 years so we finally did it when I saw a good deal last March and did this trial river cruise and we loved it. This is for adults who can walk and take advantage of the free excursions. It is quite different from the usual ...

Viking offered a price on a European cruise that we could afford, and we had been wanting to do a river cruise for a long time. We loved the format of the cruise, the relaxed atmosphere, adults only. We didn't have to choose expensive shore excursions, there was no high pressure sales of photos, etc., and there were no requirements on our time until debarkation. The guides on the tours were very ...

We were encouraged to join my brother and his wife on the Danube Waltz, we seized the opportunity and we are so happy we did. Everything about the trip from the accommodations on the boat, the food, every aspect of the service was perfect. We felt safe, comfortable and well taken care of the entire cruise. The effort the restaurant staff, "hotel" staff, cruise director and the ships crew ...

We had an amazing time aboard this ship. It was such a smooth sail. We barely knew we were moving unless we looked out the window. We were impressed with the piloting by the captain. His parking skills are amazing! The crew was incredible and attentive and friendly. The excursions were fun and informative. The tour guides did such a great job of teaching us about their homes and history. We ...
