Great cruise but needs some improvement.

September 2023 Riverboat Trip - Amsterdam to Budapest. Great trip but everyone got Covid as did another Viking boat with a similar internary.

We loved the cruise. Great trip, food, excursions, services, the top deck viewing/walking area and cabins were exceptional. Unfortunately, almost everyone got a mild case of Covid. Regarding the flight arrangements, I was disappointed that my airport - PHL - was not used for a direct flight to Europe. There are direct flights from PHL to Amsterdam which would have saved us 2 1/2 hrs. Going ...

Learned a lot of history from the lectures. The excursions were fantastic. The service was beyond amazing the people working this cruise made it absolutely one of the most fun and lively vacations ever! So enjoyable from the service perspective; kudos to the program director and the bar chief, the maitre d', the guest services people and housekeeping and service staff, everyone worked really hard ...

European Sojourn: 22 days from Bucharest to Amsterdam. July - August 2023 My wife and I have enjoyed almost a dozen ocean cruises including two very favorable cruises on Viking. This was our first river cruise, and we had heard so many favorable things about it. We have traveled extensively throughout Europe and hoped this would add favorably to our great experiences. Unfortunately, a ...

Some very interesting excursions, but very slow meals and too much time on hot buses

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This was our first Viking cruise...and in fact our first cruise of any type. We're experienced travelers but generally go our own way. We chose this cruise to see a part of the world we hadn't visited, and to celebrate our 39th anniversary. Pluses: our room was comfortable (we knew it would be small, no problem); the Viking crew seemed to be appropriately committed to our comfort and ...

We had a very good friend recommend Viking River cruises, specifically this one. We had a good time, but was so disappointed with having to be bussed to change ships and to several towns. Because of this we missed a lot of the scenery that is so integral to a river cruise and why we chose this one. We also did not have the scheduled glass blowing demonstration on board and missed free time in ...

We've been interested in a European River Cruise for some time, and Viking did not disappoint! The ship was immaculate, the service top notch, and the food was outstanding. We loved the free excursions in each port. Our cruise director, Oliver, was on top of everything, especially during the strike in France. Viking went above and beyond to assure the strike did not interfere with our ...

Viking exceeded all our expectations for our first time cruise. The Viking cruise overall value and quality are top notch. Sites, tours, communication, ship, staff, ship captain, staff leaders, gourmet food, state room, entertainment, cleanliness, service, comfort, etc were all outstanding. Cruising on a river, only adults and the very small number of people are perfect. Evening entertainment was ...

My husband and I chose the Rhine Getaway because we wanted to travel the Rhine. Viking did not disappoint. We had an amazing time. We loved the smaller group on the long boat and met wonderful people. The free daily excursions were amazing and the guides were knowledgeable. If you didn’t want to purchase any extra excursions you would see a lot and have a wonderful time. We did purchase a couple ...

We wanted to do this cruise, and the time lined up correctly with some other tour plans. The Viking experience - ship, food, and program - was simply outstanding. The program director, Gabor, was fantastic, and as a native of Hungary, was able to give many personal insights and great stories about life behind the Iron Curtain. The evening "port briefing" before dinner each day was informative ...

My mom and I did this cruise with a different company and had a blast. Viking’s program was awful and felt cheap. Way to much busing, no small town stops. The worsted we playing catch-up to the ship each day. Our ship lost an engine instead of moving to a new one we lost a day while they fixed it and put us up in a hotel. We did get individual room but that was probably because of almost everyone ...
