Passau Viking Vilhjalm Cruise Reviews

We were on the last ship to depart Passau for Budapest along the Danube for the Christmas Markets. We left on December 20th after a stay in Passau. We had rain and as the river began to rise it became questionable about making our destination in Budapest by ship. We were able to make our scheduled stops in Linz and in Krems. We departed Krems after the morning excursions in order to get ahead of ...

the overall experience was really disappointing. I felt that Viking skimped on alot of small but very important items. First off, the buffet when we arrived on the ship was sparce, not many selections. However, the check in could not have been more efficient. We have been on close to 10 cruises so far and I would rate Viking at the lowest end of the cruises. Staff was great but there was ...

Went with a few friends and family to see the Christmas markets. I would recommend this to everyone. The 2 bad things were that they had a very heavy rainy season. This made getting from Passau to Budapest very challenging for the crew since we have to go under bridges. We did get stuck in Vienna for an extra night. That was not vikings first rodeo with theses issues. That made things happen so we ...

We chose a Viking cruise, as my husband refuses to sail on larger ships. In fact, it took some convincing to get him on a Viking River Cruise! However, once we were on board, it was obvious that we'd made a wonderful choice. From the ease of booking and knowledge of customer service team, the flawless travel to/from our destination and knowledge that Viking team we're tracking us all the way, ...

I wanted to experience traveling on a longboat in Europe. It was my first cruise on a longboat. It exceed my expectations. It was smooth sailing. Everything went smoothly from picked up at the airport and returning to the airport once the cruise was over. My stateroom was very comfortable and inviting. The design of the stateroom, made it feel larger than it is. I utilized the balcony ...

We had done the Rine a couple years ago and wanted to do a Danube as we were so impressed with it. Only issue was locating our Viking representative at the airport on Budapest, after finding him he took excellent care to lead us through getting our flight. The driver from the ship to airport just sort of dumped us and left. No communication! The food and food service was excellent as we have ...

We chose the Danube Waltz because the countries visited and the region were on our bucket list. The thing that stands out the most to me is the organization and seamless process Viking creates to make the journey so comfortable and stress free. From the color coded bag tags, to the Viking ambassadors that met us at our arrival airport to the departure transfers the stressful parts of the trip were ...

We did the Rhine a few years ago and wanted to try the danube. This cruise was a little different as most of the cruising was done at night. Just different from the Rhine where we saw more scenery. Tours were good, but we did not take advantage of the optional tours, there were a few that we should have done. Thought they were a little more pricy that I would have expected. Food was great and ...

I really enjoyed myself on the Viking cruise along the Danube. The smaller ship allowed me to get to know lots of my fellow passengers. The activities in the evening were terrific and increased the sense of community found on the smaller ships. I appreciated the special touches, like the Mozart chocolate that greeted us as we returned from our excursion in Vienna. I also was delighted to find ...

When we signed up for the Viking River Cruise “The Danube Waltz” I have to admit it was the dates as much the journey that we liked. My step-daughter was traveling in Spain with a school trip and I wasn’t going to stay in the states while she saw Spain. So my wife and I were excited to find a river cruise through a part of the world we had never visited with the fact same dates. The kicker was ...
