Friends invited us on this trip to celebrate a few major milestones and it didn’t disappoint. The boat was very nice and the crew and staff were nicer. The cabin was small but had a great veranda with chairs and a view and plenty of storage. The crew was very attentive, friendly, and fun. The food and drinks were plentiful and delicious. Especially the soups! The destinations were beautiful ...

The Viking river experience was so much better than I imagined. We had a group of fifteen friends and some family who traveled together. The boat was very clean, the staff were fantastic and we all knew each other by name by the end of the week. The food was delicious, every meal, believe me no one will go hungry. Our activity director Bennie was so much fun, we loved her and all the activities ...

Chose Romantic Danube to celebrate wedding anniversary and birthday. We probably over-planned optional excursions because we didn't have enough down time to enjoy sitting! Crew was exceptionally helpful, friendly and remembered our names. We had some problems of our own making (losing a cell phone for example) that the crew responded to immediately and successfully. Food exceeded our ...

When we got married we took an ocean cruise with a different cruise line. At the time we were in our late 20s and we had a fantastic time with the pool, cocktails, entertainment, etc. As we aged we wanted to have a different experience. We chose Viking because it was the most well known River cruise line. We have no regrets! Everything went smoothly. From the time we landed in Budapest we felt ...

Guests, employees, guides, people at our destinations all were so very friendly! This made for an amazing relaxing vacation. You can be as active as you want. Knowledge on walking tours is so helpful for later to be on your own around towns. Our ship was sold out and we never felt like we were around more than a dozen people at a time. Dining was very relaxing pace. No need to rush away from ...

We choose this cruise based on itinerary. It was a big mistake. Never book airfare through the cruise line. Cabins are small. Balconies are small. Entertainment is horrible. We will never book another Viking River Cruise. Customer service is not helpful at all. This is in regards to Viking Var river cruise 30 June 2023 to 07 July 2023. There was a major problem with the air booked ...

Viking is rated #1 in river cruises. Sailing the Danube was on our bucket list. We have sailed about 30 times on cruises, both rivers & oceans, in the US & internationally. We went “all-in” with Viking to handle our air (business class), transfers, cruise, & excursions. Viking has contracts with certain airlines & was not able to book direct flights from Dallas to Munich, we had a ...

We heard good things about Viking from friends and decided to try it. The most surprising thing for me was the outstanding quality of the food throughout the cruise. Simply divine food at every meal. The servers were cheerful, happy, motivated, and pleasant people to be around. Unlike the big cruise boats getting on and off the ship is a breeze. The onboard entertainment was enthusiastic and ...

We wanted to celebrate our anniversary in a special way and always wanted to see parts of Europe we may never have a chance to see again, so the itinerary worked out with Viking. Glowing reviews from past and current travelers, the advertisements and talking with friends and family about their experiences convinced us to give it a try. We decided to arrive early in Budapest 2 days before ...
