River Cruises Reviews

What a fantastic itinerary on the Rhine River and I just loved this ship! She is small and compact but brings the destination on board with local meals and local wines. I would recommend this itinerary for anyone who wants to see lots of small towns and villages in Europe. The crew on our cruise were outstanding and the attention to detail in the dining room was very impressive. Our waitress ...

Due to Covid this was our first cruise for 3 1/2 years and our first river cruise We weren't sure how we would like the much smaller experience but absolutely loved it! We were lucky as we booked the Owners Suite which gave us 50% more cabin space and being the first week of service all the staff (who were lovely) were very keen the scenery was beautifully green and the temperatures very ...

We chose the cruise after watching many Viking commercials during the pandemic and were impressed with Viking's image. Additionally, we had friends who had great experience on Viking cruises and we trusted their recommendation. W We chose this particular cruise because we wanted to sail on a smaller, less crowded boat and really wanted to explore the Bordeaux region of France. Based on research ...

Highly recommend this ship and the Danube river cruise. We started in Passau Germany and ended in Budapest Hungary. Thought we would love Austria the most but ended up loving Slovakia and Hungary the best. However, we loved the whole trip. The food was great. In every port we had fantastic guides. The included free excursions were really fantastic. They divided the ship up into small groups ...

Very happy with our 1st cruise experience. It was the 1st cruise of the season as well; so there was new employee staff that will only get better with serving, besides Super Mario, he was outstanding, remembering us personally, addressing us by our names and what we liked to drink. House keeping was amazing! The food was spectacular. Every meal was flavorful, beautifully organized on our plates ...

This is one of many river cruises my husband and I have taken with the incredible company, Vegan Travel (www.vegan-cruises.com). We have sailed on many different boats but the experience is always the same - wonderful! The MS Joy is a beautiful boat, with well-designed, clean and comfortable cabins that make you feel special and at home at the same time. When Vegan Travel takes over the boat ...

This was our second Viking cruise, we previously did the Rhine cruise. You can't go wrong with Viking. The level of service and quality of tours is really amazing. The itinerary for the Danube cruise is a great mix of large cities - Budapest and Vienna - and smaller towns - Passau and Regensburg. The beauty of a Viking cruise is that you know you'll see all the sights in each port and enjoy ...

We had a great time. On board staff was excellent. Social Director did an outstanding job; full of energy. They did everything thing they could to make our trip excellent. It was the 1st cruise of the season for this crew and boat. Had a problem with one of the engines. Had to leave Budapest early and got to Vienna almost a day late. Viking let us re-arrange or cancel excursions with full refund. ...

We certainly enjoyed our recent Danube River cruise on the Viking Vali. Yes, the weather was cool and rainy, but that did not affect our touring that much. We chose this time of year because we did not want to deal with potential low river water levels in the Summer or Fall. Overall Viking's arrival services were seamless--fast pick-up at the airport, comfortable bus transfer to the boat, ...

From the moment you walk on board, the entire staff caters to you. I felt like a princess. The food on board was great, and the selection was wonderful. The dining staff consistently went above and beyond, memorizing our favorite meals, putting together special sandwiches for us. The Chef’s Table meal was so delicious. It was hard to be hungry on board the AmaLyra. Bartender Paula made ...
