1-10 of 106 Viking Kara Cruise Reviews for River from Amsterdam
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 ...
This was our first River cruise. Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. My husband had read so much about Viking so we booked departing Amsterdam Nov. 12, 2023 for the 8 day cruise to Basel. The crew was exceptional, cabin was nice. The food was ok, cold most of the time. In the brochure it states no waiting in lines and that what we did most of the time. We thought that once we got to a ...
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 ...
I have been on a Viking cruise before and loved it so much I decided to go again.
The excursions we chose were truly great, and all the guides and hosts were informative providing us with an unforgettable experience.
My favorites were Kinderdijk and the whole history, both past and present. It was fascinating. The beautifully preserved Marksburg Castle was enchanting giving us a historical ...
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 ...
