Our first-ever Viking River Cruise did not disappoint!
"As to be expected on any trip, there were a few snags along the way--"no car Sunday" in Paris being one we and our travel mates hadn't planned on--and apparently neither had Viking, as several travelers were rerouted again and again on the way from the airport to the dock.Having one place to call "home" for the weeklong cruise while visiting several interesting sites along the way made the trip so much easier than busing from one hotel to another...."Read More

Disappointing holiday cruise

We chose this cruise for holiday market and seeing the charm of Paris and other towns. It was disappointing as we only visited a couple markets. The optional tours were disappointing except for Normandy. Not sure why Vernon was selected as it was a little bleak. Optional tour sightseeing Paris was a mob scene in the high end shopping district. I would rather have walked thru affordable stores ...

The Paris Christmas Market Cruise without Christmas Markets

Chose this cruise to explore Christmas Markets along the Seine. While the ship and staff were wonderful, the Christmas Market part was sorely lacking. Maybe it was too early in the season? We did visit a market in Paris and a very small market in Roen but it was not Christmas Market heavy like the Danube cruises. If we'd known this, we would have chosen a Danube or Rhine cruise. The towns along ...

We are longtime cruisers (55 so far). This was our 1st Viking Cruise and I must say it we very enjoyable. The service was outstanding both onboard and during our post cruise extention. Our Explorer Suite was well appointed and large. The tours were well planned and only required a small amount of effort to do. The food was good, not great, but definitely adequate and tasty. The staff from the ...

Our Viking River cruise was fantastic. Always wanted to go to Normandy, and had enjoyed our first River cruise (Romantic Danube) I found a good deal with free flights (it was November). Highly recommend French balcony. No need for balcony in November, plus it rained all week. Food was mostly good, well presented and a decent selection for picky eaters (me). The staff was excellent, from chef to ...

My wife and I had this on our bucket list of must do's! We've researched other agencies who offered similar services and cruises and even had a competitor tie-up next to us in Rouen. I can tell you just from the outside appearance of both ships, we knew had made the right choice with Viking. From the moment we booked our trip online, met with our local Viking Rep who walked us through ...

We have taken numerous Viking Cruises throughout France and we have never been disappointed. The Food is fabulous, the accommodations are comfortable and modern and the staff is very attentive and professional. We have thoroughly enjoyed all of our cruises. We recently booked a Viking Ocean Cruise for next June from Barcelona to Rome and this will be our 1st venture on one of their Ocean ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because my husband had been on a cruise of the Rhine with Viking in 2022 and he had nothing but wonderful things to say about it. This cruise down the Seine was in line with his high expectations, and as a first-time Viking cruiser, I had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to cruise with Viking again. The crew and staff were all excellent, helpful, friendly and ...

We booked this cruise at the last minute (30 days prior to sailing) mainly because we wanted to go to Normandy and somehow had never made it. Additionally, since Paris is my favorite city in the world...I can't ever get enough of it. It was our first cruise with Viking and it exceeded our expectations. The ship was beautiful, the crew and service outstanding, the meals were delicious and the ...

We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary. The staff was amazing and super friendly. Food was excellent although the portions tended to run small. For faster lunch and dinner service sit closer to the kitchen. The wait staff serves from the kitchen end first, then on towards the entrance. Unlike most ocean cruising one either ate at a set mealtime (breakfast being the exception) or didn't eat. ...
