The Danube water level was low the week we went (October, 2018) . Therefore, the "cruise" was not what was promised. It was a "bus" trip. We spent more time on a bus than cruising on the Danube. We boarded 3 different ships. Viking knew of the low river level issues for days before our cruise, yet did not cancel the cruise, nor offer a postponement. That is unpardonable. Just as we are ...
Everything was planned and executed beautifully! The staff made every aspect enjoyable. Even normal life mishaps were cared for with a professional touch without being “stuffy”. Loved it!
The side trips were easy going yet we got to see and do a great deal.
Realky, there was more planned on board then we coukd possibly do! (Just coukdn’t stay up for the later entertainment after an ...
I give this a 3 for neutral...
This was a bucket list trip for us. We chose this trip so that we could get a taste of the cities that are advertised on this journey. There were many wonderful things we saw but most of all made great friends along the way...
Before embarkation, we chose the Viking Prague extension on the front end of the trip. We flew business class so upon arriving in ...
Often when you look forward too much to a trip it doesn't live you to your expectations. This cruise more than met my high bar - it was exceptional. I can't think of anything I would change other than the fact that we tried to pack too much into our trip and didn't let ourselves just ENJOY the experience. Take a little time, don't over schedule, let the beauty of this part of the world just ...
Third and last Viking cruise. Scheduled for the Var, boarded the Kara instead and then after a couple days packed and boarded the Tor. High water was again the reason given although the competitor Thomas Hardy made it just fine. Viking must be cutting back as staff on both vessels seemed tired, overworked and not chipper. Christmas markets seemed redundant and that is why Viking is no longer ...
Dear JimFitzsimons,
Having cruised with us on previous occasions, we highly appreciate your feedback regarding both how this itinerary fell below your expectations, as well as how it...
We chose this cruise because it provided us with an opportunity to visit places we had heard of and always wanted to travel to. There are not enough superlatives to describe just how wonderful and amazing our cruise was. Accommodations were luxurious yet cozy. The staff was so welcoming, friendly, patient and helpful. On the last night of our cruise, our purser (Sorin) said that many of us ...
First time river cruise-- met and/or exceeded expectations. Did all the included tours and 5 additional. Tour guides were great and very knowledgeable . Service onboard was excellent. Food was also high quality Tour director Boris was the best. Never had to worry about anything. Looking forward to another river cruise in 2018 and already booked ocean cruise on viking in Jan 2018. Stayed in ...
We chose Viking because we heard nothing but wonderful information regarding Viking from friends & associates. Everything their brochures and website said they would do or provide was completed with a smile and a positive attitude. We were met at the airport on time, immediately brought to the Viking Thor, welcomed and given simple details, escorted to our room which had champagne, beer, spirits, ...
We had wanted to take a river cruise for some time and this was our first. We were accompanied by my wife's sister and her husband and we were both celebrating wedding anniversaries. We loved the cruise and the excellent treatment we received from the entire Viking crew. All of our tours were very good and the experience of our guides was amazing. We took advantage of most of the optional ...
We chose a Viking cruise for our first cruise ever. This was based on their excellent reputation, the itinerary, and size of boat.
The boat was very nice. There were approx 200 people on the boat, so it was not crowded and it gave a chance to meet a lot of people.
The food was excellent! Their were special menus each night to reflect the country we were in at the time. Also, unlimited ...
