Wanted to show our adult sons Europe. We were able to many cities and countries. The crew was exceptional anything we needed they provided. Viking takes care of you, we are not experienced travelers, they met us at the airport, got us to the hotel, had people there to expedite check in and give us ideas of what we could do and see before the first scheduled tour. The Hotels they use both pre and ...
We chose this cruise as it sailed from Amsterdam through Europe to Budapest none that we had visited before. We loved the walking tours through all the places visited and we learnt a lot more European history all of which was very educational and interesting.The staff on board were very attentive, new their jobs and good fun making us feel very relaxed. The chef Russel made all meals very ...
This was my first experience with Viking, although I am a pretty active cruiser or was pre covid, including 2 other river cruise companies.
I will cut to the chase. It was outstanding 8/10. 2 points off for crabby pursor, unexciting decor, and first 2 days food was basic at best. The decor is simple, but typical modern euro minimalist. Tranquil relaxing blues and beiges. I did expect something ...
We took the Viking European River Cruise of two weeks during the second week of May. It was excellent in all respects, including the weather. Having taken a Viking Pacific Ocean Cruise of 31 days in January, I was impressed then with the daily Covid-19 testing, the accommodations, activities, and the training of the crew. The same high level of experiences was evident in our river cruise of two ...
This was a gift cruise from my parents. What an incredible experience. From the initial booking of the cruise to the final leg of our flight, all we can say is that it was so organized and easy. The online site for information and booking our excursions and keeping abreast of our travel information. It all worked so well.
The flights were fantastic and once we arrived on the ship, ...
We had the “River Cruise” on our list of “must dos”. The itinerary was 15 days which seemed (and was) just the right amount of time to relax and experience several very different cities. We loved the cruising experience snd cannot say enough about the Crew. From the extraordinary tour director to every last wait person or cabin steward. All were kind, caring and professional. The Value of the ...
My husband and I had never been on a cruise before, but going on a river cruise down the Danube and Rhine has always been a dream of mine. We took the 14 night Grand European Tour and it was an exceptional experience, the Viking Staff were so personable and friendly, attentive and helpful, most of them knew us by name. The ships are beautiful and modern, the food is out of this world and the ...
“I’m sorry to tell you, but you tested positive for Covid.” Not the words you are supposed to hear when relying on Viking’s “Cruise With Confidence”. But think about it, if you test 125 fully vaccinated and boosted people every day while Covid is raging and the 125 people are “exploring the world with curiosity” some of them are going to get Covid. And we weren’t the first on our boat, the ...
I wanted to see several countries in a short period of time and this cruise definitely fit the bill. We also visited three capital cities. The ship was immaculately appointed and the staff was so attentive. I did not expect everything to go so smoothly and was able to fully enjoy each day of the cruise because everything was so well planned out and explained to us. I found the other travellers ...
We had done several Viking Cruises and have really enjoyed all of them. Service has always been fantastic. Excursions have been interesting and culturally informative. We really got spoiled on this cruise because there were only 57 passengers onboard. The workers couldn’t do enough for us. I must mention the head bar steward Christian who went above and beyond for us. On one excursion we got ...
