Amsterdam Viking Kara Cruise Reviews

We had a great time! Every detail was taken care of. What was especially helpful was the direct flight and the assistance with food prep due to my spouse having a food allergy. The maitre dee always brought the menus the night before so there were no surprises. I only wish that the second leg of the journey aboard the Hermod had been equally impressive. Unfortunately, it was not. Not once did we ...

It was our first Viking river cruise. We had the best time on the boat. We did mostly the free tours and they were all amazing. The tours that we paid for were well worth it. Our favorite tour was the Kolsch beer pub crawl. Our tour guide, Rocco was the best. We made friends with everyone. We did do some walking around on our own. We took the bus to town and would take our time exploring the city. ...

My husband and I always wanted to do a River cruise. The itinerary for the Rhine River fit our agenda. We went with another couple. From the time we got on board until the time we left, we had a wonderful experience. We booked the veranda room with a balcony on the 3rd deck. We did sit outside a few mornings with our coffee. Sometimes though, we would be parked parallel to another Viking ...

The Rhein cruise on Kara was highly recommended by friends. And it exceeded our expectations! We literally do not have a bad word to say about anything! First of all, the crew was amazing! From the Captain, to Randall (I called him our Cruise Director), the Chef (the food was amazing), to the woman that cleaned our room and did our laundry, to the wait staff and bartenders. Many of the staff ...

It’s a great river cruise package that all inclusive starting with its price and its complete services prior from air, ground transportation and hotel. The ship configuration was easily accessible to the lounge, dining room, top deck and rooms. The service from cabin attendants, servers in the lounge and dining rooms were outstanding. They were always available to be of service. The staff from the ...

Being prior service and spending time in Germany forty years ago, it was a dream to share this experience with my wife. We spent a few extra days at the start in Amsterdam and it was everything I had hoped for. The cruise was made special by the wonderful staff aboard the Kara. They made us feel welcomed from the very start. The excursions were planned well and the optional ones extended the ...

We had never been to Europe and we are 'boat people' so it was just a decision concerning which river. My ancesors are French and German so the Rhine seemed logical. Why Viking? Their reviews were stellar and I like their commercials. I was disappointed that I did not get to meet the lady-baker with the great, fresh bread. From the Captain, the First Officer ( the Captain's wife and 'true Captain' ...

We wanted to see Europe in a different way and by taking the Rhine River Cruise was the way to go. The food on the ship was amazing. We loved the staff, Mr.T, David, Stefan and Paula, these people made the trip extra special!! The meal options were amazing, some nights a little hard to decide which options wanted to have to eat. The portions were perfect! I would have liked to have more ...

What really impressed me was that our luxury hotel room was ready at 9 am when we arrived in Amsterdam. Viking had a huge staff waiting to help! It was wonderful. The daily ports were most quaint quiet villages. I loved it. I’ve been an ocean cruiser. Thus river trip was marvelously relaxing and no long sea days. Bravo Viking! We enjoyed all the guides, excursions and themed parties! Overall ...

Viking river cruises never disappoint. There really is no better way to have an intimate multi-city tour of historic cities than on a river cruise. It’s a floating hotel with such dedicated staff insuring you feel welcome. Each of the stops gives you an opportunity to explore new things. We especially found that the E bike trip was a blast. That is the one thing that I wish more of the river ...
