We had wanted to do a small river cruise for such a long time. Our friends were thinking the same thing, so we sealed the deal when free air and shipboard credit was offered to sail the Rhine. We all had ocean cruised, but the Viking river cruise is rated at the top of our experiences. Our rooms were perfect, housekeeping friendly and efficient. I can’t rave wildly enough about the regional ...
This was my second Viking cruise. The crew of the Ingvi didn't disappoint. The crew did a great job of anticipating our needs, providing a good variety of food options, shore excursions, and personal attention when we needed a few non-standard items. The ship always docked in the center of town making it easy to walk off the ship into the historic district of the cities/towns we visited.

Fantastic trip! As totally novice cruisers we were apprehensive about our first trip overseas. Booking directly with efficient/knowledgeable Viking staff went smoothly. A little confusion on short time span to add trip insurance (ask a lot of questions). Took the discount 3.3%.
Made a big mistake in filling out personal data by NOT including passport numbers by the time we made full payment. ...
The itinerary was interesting and beautiful. The ship was cozy, clean, comfortable and nice. The staff was service oriented. They quickly learned to anticipate our wants and needs. This vacation exceeded our expectations and will be sailing with them again. We are already planning our next Viking Cruise. An extra bonus was we’ve made some new and hopefully long time friends on this cruise. The ...
I’d been wanting to go on a Viking river cruise for years, but I was always concerned that I would be the youngest on the ship, by a decade. At 47, that simply was not the case. There were people of all ages (younger and older), that are all well traveled and love the adventure of Viking.
The staff is absolutely amazing. Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton would drool for these people! Every ...
Many friends had recommended Viking Cruises to me so I decided to try one. I have nothing but high praise for everything. As soon as I landed at the Amsterdam airport, a very friendly representative met me. She really set the tone for the whole trip. Upon reaching the ship, I was so impressed that my cabin was ready for me. I was also thrilled to know a lovely buffet lunch was awaiting me as ...
Doing a river cruise had been on our bucket list for sometime and what better way to celebrate my 80th birthday!
On reflection we should have booked the cruise earlier because we did not get to choose a cabin and all the post cruise stays were booked. We did pay for Air Plus which was an advantage, KLM were extremely helpful. Embarkation went well so much smoother than a ocean cruise

This would be a very long review if I tried to tell you everything I loved about this, our first river cruise. Everything was perfect and easy. Being met at the airport and escorted to the buses waiting to take us to the ship was wonderful. Not having to deal with our suitcases until they were safely in our cabins was a treat. Everyone on the Viking team was friendly and knowledgable. Our ...
Friends had recommended I go. Transfer at the airport was so easy. Didn't spend much time in the room, but it was what we needed and the beds were quite comfortable. I loved that each evening we had the following day's itinerary waiting for us. The staff could not have been more helpful and almost became family. The food was delicious. I have food restrictions which were addressed. One morning, ...
We chose this cruise to connect to and experience our cultural background. The ship was very clean and in great repair. Our cabin, although small was comfortable and spotless. Dining was always a pleasure. How can it be otherwise given the great service, extensive menu, and wonderful accompanying beverages. Even though this is a small boat, we were always well entertained. The scenery was great, ...
