"The covered Sun Deck is really nice but it was closed for 5 days or so due to our going through LOTS of locks along the river.Though due to low water we had to switch ships at the end of the 1st week from the Viking Magni to the Viking Baldur, even that was an adventure...."Read More

1-10 of 74 Amsterdam to Europe Viking Baldur Cruise Reviews
It was planned years ago but COVID came to view. Word of mouth that Viking cruises are nice and it’s very true.
Ship was very clean, exceptional crew and very superb food. Been to other cruises, but food and beverages(local beers, white and red wines)were so far the best of all. Our pre and post cruise stopover was excellent. Onboard entertainment was excellent and outside tours were great(I ...
Although we've done many previous "big ship" cruises this was our first Viking River Cruise. I must say the experience was outstanding! Though due to low water we had to switch ships at the end of the 1st week from the Viking Magni to the Viking Baldur, even that was an adventure. The entire cruise was very well organized from excursions to arrival/departures. The itinerary (the Grand European ...
We took this trip after planning it 4 times, we finally got to go (covid/covid/family medical issue, and 2023 we went!). It was a great experience overall, with a few minor hiccups. We had to transfer boats half way through due to low water levels, nothing Viking could control, and the transition went smoothly but it was a day lost of our trip and 4 hour bus ride which wasn’t ideal. Food and ...
First time as "cruiser". Having heard horror stories about the popular ocean cruise lines kept me from booking those trips. The entire trip with Viking was top of the line. Finest possible choice. From my arrival at the airport in Amsterdam to escorting me to the security entrance at the airport in Prague; I never felt alone or lost. The Viking staff didn't just say "Good Morning" , they ...
We wanted to try a Viking Cruise since we had heard many good things about them. We chose the Grand European for the itinerary/towns and rivers traversed. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the help of the cruise staff. The included and optional tours that we took were excellent and informative and most of the guides were top notch.
The food on board was of great quality and variety. Loved ...
My wife gave me this cruise as a Christmas present. We had talked about going on a river cruise on the Rhine and Danube for years. It was way past time to do it and I am so glad we did! Viking was the only cruise line we would consider and we were not disappointed. The ship was beautiful and very comfortable. I cannot sing the praises of the crew loudly enough. All we really had to do was show ...
I had never been to Europe before. I chose Viking due to reputation and marketing information received through the mail. I wanted to devote a minimum of two weeks to this trip to justify the flight time and distance. The Grand European Tour fit the bill.
We got to see all of our scheduled stops including a nice unexpected porting and tour of the city of Mainz. However, due to river levels, ...
We chose this cruise because we had been wanting to visit historically rich and architecturally significant landmarks of Europe while traveling in a way that kept us as safe as possible from covid.
Viking provided all of those things in a very big way on their Grand European cruise!
There we many pleasant surprises along the way beginning with being greeted upon our arrival at the airport ...
We were very excited to experience our first river cruise and had heard many good things about Viking Cruises. We were especially excited to take the cruise starting in Amsterdam and ending in Budapest with a lay over in Prague. Our expectations were more than exceeded. We not only enjoyed the food, but were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable drink package that allowed us to experience some ...
We had taken a 1-week Viking cruise up the Rhine River previously. So we had a good idea of what to expect.
But this trip was so much more than we could have expected.
The ship was luxurious and comfortable. Food superb. Crew attentive and eager to please. Cruise Director Richie was a delight.
In each town that we docked, an included excursion provided an excellent tour and source of ...
