First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was our first trip to Europe and our trip did not disappoint. Our trip exceeded expectations at every turn. One of our concerns was how the dining service would attend to my husband’s food allergy. They were so thoughtful and served his correct meal each time along with the other diners at our table. Our room was comfortable and well attended. Our ship was clean and well managed. Our ...

We wanted to do something special for our 50th anniversary which was in December prior. My husband had always talked about these cruises and we wanted to do the Grand European to get the most time in. Everything was nearly perfect. It was great right from the transfer from the airport in Amsterdam to the ship and then from ship to airport again at the end. There was one hiccup in the middle of ...

My sisters and I have wanted to go on a Viking Cruise for years. The time was finally right. Cruising from Amsterdam to Budapest was an absolute delight and the entire crew was fabulous! Viking takes such good care of its guests and every detail was handled to perfection. Our Program Director, Igor, was the BOMB! The entire staff bent over backwards to tend to our every need. Because of ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We have been to Germany, and Austria by land but wanted to see Amsterdam, Budapest and several other towns along the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal. Viking actually changed our ship from the Bragi to the Skadi at the last minute due to water levels on the river so this review really has to do with the Skadi and her crew. A crew which by the way was outstanding in every detail whether the room ...

My wife and I really enjoyed our Grand European Tour on the Viking Skadi! We plan to do other cruises in the future on Viking river and Ocean ships as we really felt that Viking did a great job of taking care of us. We really enjoyed all the stops on the cruise and did the pre and post trip extension in Amsterdam and Prague. Prague ended up being our favorite city. Our Program Director ...

We chose this cruise because we love history and wanted to see castles, cathedrals and palaces. We were amazed at every stop. We were even able to take a last minute added excursion to Bratislava, Slovakia, and absolutely loved it. Our Program Director, Anthony, was truly wonderful. He knew everything about everything! And he seemed more than happy to share his knowledge with us. I can't ...

First off, the crew of the Skadi was wonderful, all cheerful and positive. I never once encountered anybody that was not extremely professional and courteous. The food was amazing, top notch. Also, Jeffrey did an amazing job at keeping our stateroom immaculate and well stocked with towels, water, and bathing products. However, the problem lies with the excursions. Aside for the tour of the ...

The two week Grand European cruise was a great experience. From Amsterdam to Budapest, Biking provided great service both on the boat and on shore. The food and level of service were very good. It was an exceptional value that included my flight. Our stateroom was small but sufficient for the trip. There was really no room to do anything other than sleep in it. The common areas were well ...

We can’t say enough great things about Viking and this wonderful cruise. From the time we stepped off the plane and embarked the Skadi in Amsterdam to the time we disembarked in Budapest, everything was top notch. All the crew was friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. All the tours were extremely informative and fun. I recommend the Cologne Beer Dinner and Culture ...

We did the Grand European Tour from Amsterdam to Budapest. This is our fifth Viking cruise first one on the long ships. The Grand European cruise was our first Viking cruise 12 years ago (Budapest to Amsterdam) and we always wanted to do it again. Prior to our trip we were concerned with the water level situation in Europe but recent rain eliminated all issues and we never had to switch ships. ...
