"You can’t just walk off your boat and go explore; 2) In the few cases where you do dock in the town or city, you’re stacked at the dock beside other boats.NOTE: There are only two tables for two, and three tables for four, on the Aquavit Terrace, so expect to have other people join you for meals unless you go sit at one of these tables about an hour before meal time...."Read More

1-10 of 61 Viking Modi Cruise Reviews for River to Europe - River from Amsterdam
I've wanted to take a river cruise for a long time. I originally planned to take a Mediterranean cruise, but a friend expressed an interest in visiting some European countries that wouldn't have been on one of those. A neighbor had taken the Grand European Tour and highly recommended it, so we decided to take that one. We had a wonderful experience. We liked the "small ship" experience without ...
Viking has shown us before the attention to detail in providing service and comfort on their cruises. So many extras are included in the cost of their cruises. The food quality is outstanding and rooms are very comfortable. The Ocean ships and Long Ships on the Rhine are both great and smaller than the mainstream cruise lines. The amount of people allowed on Viking ships makes it easier for ...
Captain Florian and his crew were excellent; they did everything possible to make their passengers voyage safe and enjoyable. I don't have any complaints and concerns with them; my complaints and concerns are with the lack of transparency and lack of necessary information provided by the Viking Cruises marketing department.
During the entire booking process, we were never informed that ...
Thank you, Djo112359, for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate the kind words you've shared about our crew. Nevertheless, we are sorry to learn the voyage fell...
We chose this Viking cruise because we wanted to relax and see the sights offered on this itinerary. Overall we had a fantastic time, but I will point out a couple things that wasn't presented up front which I was disappointed in. From the way the itinerary was presented I though each day the ship would dock in that port and we could come and go as we please. The first few days we stopped in a ...
I had been looking at the Viking Cruise - Grand European Tour for several years and compared this cruise with the larger Pacific Ocean cruises to Alaska. I found the Pacific Ocean cruises to be much more expensive and with a larger number of passengers; somewhat worrisome since COVID-19. Last year several friends took the Grand European Tour cruise and raved about their experience. They posted ...
We wanted to explore the cities and towns along the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers in as efficient a manner as possible. So, we chose a river cruise to accomplish this goal, and selected Viking because of its strong reputation, abundant and high quality choices for shore excursions, and backseat of the incentives offered at the time we booked the cruise. The food and beverages were very good and ...
Unpack once and see a whole lot of Europe. The Viking staff is very professional, friendly and capable. Unlike the Viking Ocean Cruises, for the River Cruises I highly recommend the Silver Spirits Package. Without it, you feel like a college kid that lives off campus since the only place to hang out on the boat is the lounge. (The top deck was only open for a few days during our cruise.)
In our ...
This was a cruise for my wife and two of her sisters. One of them had credit and chose the Grand European and my wife and the third sister decided to join the experience. We had always wanted to do a Viking cruise and the Grand European was enticing, but we generally felt it was too long for first-timers like us. The comfort of doing it with other family members, who have all been Viking guests in ...
We were very excited to do our first Viking River Cruise after having done fourteen previous river cruises on other cruise lines. It's fair to say that we have considerable experience with which to rate Viking compared to the competition. We were saddened to find that Vikings high price does not equate to a better cruise experience.
To start with, the problem with Viking does not directly ...
Thank you, Fast Alongside, for taking the time to share your experience with us. While in some European docking locations it is common to double berth and closures of the upper deck are...
We are Viking cruisers and went on this particular cruise with friends. To say we had a great time would not describe near enough the stellar experience we had on this trip. My husband had a few difficult days health wise and the staff was absolutely far and away beyond caring and efficient in helping him. The concierge recommended an on shore dr whom we visited and received excellent care. The ...
