Christmas on the Rhine - that’ll be special and nice I thought.
What a crushing disappointment that turned out to be, onboard Viking Sigrun.
Chose Viking off the back of good online reviews and those of friends who had travelled with them, and expectations were high. Before even starting the trip Viking delivered disappointment .
This trip was booked in the previous March and in June ...
What a major disappointment and complete waste of the thousands of dollars spent on this trip. My travel companions and I are experienced cruise travelers and will never travel Viking again.
The problems began several days before our sailing date, when Viking announced there would be a change in our ship without explaining the details why. Which means Viking was already aware the Rhine ...
I have wanted to do a Christmas Market Cruise for a long time, I booked this with my best friend and her husband almost 2 years ago and it exceeded our expectations. It was lovely in every way. The Viking Ship was luxurious without being pretentious. The staff was fabulous and made us feel at home immediately. Everything went smoothly and was handled so professionally, even when something changed ...
My wife and I selected a Viking Rhine River cruise with Lake Como pre-extension for our 15th anniversary gift to each other. Although our expectations were high based on prior research, I have to say that the Viking ship, staff, and cruise experience delivered a fabulous experience. We were blessed with favorable weather and water levels for our cruise dates. The onboard experience was fantastic: ...
together with some friends we all decided to go on a Viking River Cruise. this was planned well in advance. this was a trip of a lifetime and based on Viking's reputation expectations were high. well nothing is ever perfect when traveling this trip did not escape glitches.
Pros: Viking picks you up at the airport and guides you to the ship (or hotel) and takes care of your luggage!

We chose this cruise for the itinerary but found the ports disappointing compared to our Prague to Paris cruise-City if Lights on Viking. The views on the Rhine cannot compare to the Main and the Moselle Rivers. Also the ports weren't nearly as interesting. The newer ships are nice but our room was very tight. We upgraded to a French balcony but we could barely get around the end of the bed. We ...
We had several friends who took this cruise and we did a lot of research. We have taken several ocean cruises and wanted something different. Good itinerary , great food, lots of choices, great breakfast buffet and you can add French toast, eggs benedict, etc. at the table. Plenty of time off ship to do things. Older crowd then we are in early seventies. Met lots of people. A lot of walking but ...
First time on a Viking Cruise. (Was on a river cruise.) We stayed in the lower stateroom on the ship. The rooms were fine, super clean and bright. River cruise boats are small, so the trip to the upper decks are short and sweet! Cash saved was nice, versus paying for a balcony that wasn't really needed!
The ship was super clean! All staff was very friendly, Cruise director was great, Daniel. ...
As I stated above, I always wanted to cruise on the Rhine River. Many people I have known have been on Viking cruises and had wonderful things to say about their cruises and encouraged me to go on on. I do not like being on ocean cruises so these river cruises are perfect for me.
Once we booked the trip, using My Viking Journey was very helpful to use so we could plan excursions and other ...
My wife and I had a lovely time on our cruise from Basel to Amsterdam. The highlights were the service and the food, both really amazing. Also, all the guests we met were fantastic and fun. The tour stops were interesting and enjoyable, if a bit sanitized compared to what we're used to. The Black Forest bike tour was a highlight, along with Cologne, Strasbourg and Speyer. There were a couple of ...
