Europe - River Cruise Viking Skirnir Europe - River Reviews

My group with 14 people took our first time river cruise with a friend recommended Viking Company. Here are my opinions below: 1) The water level is too low to sail on the river between Amsterdam, Netherlands and Cologne Germany. So The company used the bus for this section. We have to carry the luggage every day. And the food of lunch and dinner are not satisfied. It's ...

We were looking forward to our cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest with Viking. Due to low water, we spent some time on buses. Viking did their best to navigate around the low water, however, they knew this was going to be a problem and we were not advised till after the trip began. Europe was experiencing a heat wave and AC was a must. The ship's AC was only operating at 50%, which made the common ...

We booked this cruise and my sister and brother-in-law joined us. They were returning to Europe for the first time since their marriage in Germany back in 1967. Had a wonderful time in Amsterdam (two night pre extension) walking around the city. Hotel Okura was pleasant but quite a walk to the museum area. Breakfast buffet was nice buy very pricey. Evening meals were taken at restaurants in the ...

This is a review of the Grand European Tour from Budapest to Amsterdam from the 1st to the 15th of October. We also did the 3 night pre tour in Prague and the post 2 night in Amsterdam.We have travelled the world extensively, but his was our first River Cruise and I did a lot of research on the various company's before booking. We chose Viking because they touted to be the original and the best, ...

Heard great things about Viking river cruise. Viking supposedly rated the best which would justify the huge cost. This was to have been the vacation of a lifetime and a celebration of our 44th wedding anniversary. It didn't come close. First, the good things: Food was excellent with a lot of variety. Ship was kept extremely clean. Modi crew was excellent - Skirnir crew was bad. Viking ...

There was a lot to like about this trip. The ship was comfortable and well run and the food was generally pretty good. But a week or so after returning home, two things still nag at me. First, the Internet service on board was terrible, even when most folks were asleep or off the ship. I know that Internet on cruises can be bad, particularly in remote areas. But most of the time the ship ...

Great ship, good service, excellent food. Mediocre entertainment Due to water level we did not complete our river journey, we were offered bus trip to Nuremberg from Passau (3.5 hours one way). Other ships transferred their passengers to another vessel in Regensburg and continued on to Nuremberg. We were not offered a refund, even that we booked a river cruise not a bus tour of Europe. We spent ...
