this was provided through my work as a bonus trip. All the excursions were wonderful and the guides were very knowledgeable and fun. Food was based on regional locations and never had a bad meal. The longboat had incredible views for much of the trip and we always stayed busy. The flights and transportation were all done for us and some day trips were also no hassle. Probably the best ...

This is our second Viking River Cruise -- Amsterdam to Basel on the Rhine River. Our mid-April weather was perfect -- in the 70's during the day and no rain. The food was wonderful, the crew was terrific (knew our names on the first day!) and the excursions were perect The narration by our Program Director, Diana, was great while we were cruising down the Rhine looking at all the castles -- ...

Our cruise was so much more than we expected! The ship, the food, the crew, and the tours were amazing! We loved the ship from top to bottom! Attention was paid to every detail from the warm welcome to the coffee bar to the beautiful restaurant and lounge! Our cabin was stocked with every amenity we could think of and the bed was so comfortable and the view was spectacular!! I think my ...

Viking is ok as long as the rivers are navigable. Day 1 the river was too high for the boat to meet us at our embarkation city. Instead of putting us up in a hotel and allowing us to tour the embarkation city we had to wait in a conference room in a hotel for 4 hours after flying 11 hours. Then we were put on a bus for a 3 hour trip to the next port where the boat was docked. Day 2 we were told ...

What a wonderful time we had on the Viking Vidar. The service on the ship was outstanding, along with the food. Because their were so few people, the crew got to know you and you felt special. The cabin was well laid out and the heated floor in the bathroom put it over the top. The cabin and the ship were kept very clean. The head chef not only did excellent preparation of the food but also ...

My husband and I, along with two of our best friends, just took our first small ship cruise on the Rhine River on Viking and it was so much more than we could have ever imagined! From flights to transfers to guided tours, every detail was taken care so we needed only to relax and enjoy. The ship was beautiful and intimate enough to get to know your fellow travelers, yet with large enough public ...

I wanted to see Prague, Vienna and Budapest. I had never been to that part of Europe. The history, architecture, food and the lifestyle were all of interest. We added the 3 day Prague pre trip extension and met numerous people on our cruise at the hotel. We were at the Prague Hilton outside the city center. A central location would have allowed us to do more. The guides were all ...

Every single detail of our trip was taken care of for us. I did not have to lift a finger from the flight arrangements, to the hotel reservations, to all of the wonderful activities we did on our trip. The only small hiccup, was the bus that took us from the airport to our hotel had no air-conditioning. However, we were strongly encouraged to report this and felt the issue would be taken care of ...

The itinerary was interesting. Viking made it easy to travel to many countries on the river cruise. We felt the guidance of Viking staff was like having a friend in the country to show you around and there was a combination of guided walks and independent exploration that we enjoyed. Met fellow travelers at airport when Viking reps has us wait together for transfers to boat and we became friends ...
