Have seen TV ads and received literature on Viking cruises for several years. Decided to make our 20th Anniversary cruise a big one so took the European 14 day cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Viking made all our arrangements and we couldn't have been better taken care of. We arrived early A.M. in Amsterdam and were bused to the Skirnir with a buffet lunch waiting for us as we waited for our ...

This was our 1st River Cruise and my wife and I had a fantastic time!! Before I continue I must say that Stephen Guy, our Cruise Director, was beyond phenomenal!!! He enhanced our cruise experience so much! When we would come back from an excursion, and hear his friendly voice, we felt that we were back home! We booked the post extension stay in Amsterdam and so glad we did! Doing the B>A ...

Best ever, Service was outstanding. Although the rivers were low, Viking did an outstanding job rearranging all the activities. The weather was super except it could of rained a bit more during the night. Food was great, did not have a bad meal. All the ports were very interesting. We walked about 3 or 4 miles a day, which was great exercise and to work some of the food off we ate. We ...

Our first cruise, river or otherwise. An excellent experience, even with the diversions caused by the water level being too low for the ship to traverse certain parts of the river. These diversions were handled professionally and as minimally disruptive as possible. We were bused from one ship to another identical ship, and our luggage just appeared in our stateroom on the new ship.They had staff ...

We had been wanting to do this trip for a long time, so when the opportunity presented itself for Summer of 2018, we jumped at it! It was our first time to Europe, first time with Viking, and our first river cruise outside of the states. That's a LOT of firsts! We started our trip with 3 days on our own in Amsterdam. We had a wonderful time, and while it was great to use hotel points, next time ...

This cruise was highly recommended. I would agree it was beyond my expectations! It was a seamless operation, well-organized, high quality in every aspect. The ship was clean and well maintained at all times. Our cabin was lovely. Every possible need was met. The crew was attentive to everything. The entertainment and activities were fantastic. Every meal was prepared perfectly and simply ...

After enjoying several (15+) ocean cruises on different cruise lines, we wanted to experience river cruising as we had heard about Viking river cruising through ads everywhere and direct mailing coming to us every few days. And it was all marketing hype and I am not sure what factors are considered in their ranking as our experience was very disappointing. To start with, because of low ...

We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and chose this river cruise. It met all our expectations and then some. We loved everything about the ship, the crew, the FOOD (OMG, so amazing!) the people on the journey with us, the tours and tour guides, the optional excursions (we picked the best ones, of course), and the service. Every night dinner was a genuine experience in local foods, and the wine ...

This was our best vacation ever! Can't believe how much we got to see at a comfortable pace. Decided if we fly that far, we're doing the longer trip. 15 days was perfect. We sure weren't finished at 7, 8 or even 10 days! Can't wait to take another. The food was amazing. Great local choices plus stand fares as well (chicken, salmon, steak). Portions were perfect. Bar prices were very ...

Bucket list cruise. Was able to see the rivers and the Great cities that we stopped at. The flight was great. Meeting Viking reps at Budapest was great and helped us around in a foreign city. Bus was comfortable and a smooth ride to the ship. The Skirnir is a very nice ship with a fabulous crew, for without their service and hospitality this would have been just another cruise. All of the ...
