We chose a Viking river cruise for our first ever cruise based upon research and reviews, and we were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped onto the Alruna, we were made to feel at home. From our room steward, to all the wait and lounge staff, we were very spoiled. The cruise director was definitely an “energizer bunny” who was always helpful and on top of things. We absolutely felt as if ...
I absolutely loved my time on the Viking Alruna. This is the second Viking cruise I’ve been on and loved it just as much as the first one (first time with friends instead of family).
The staff was amazing, the accommodations and food were great, the stops were fantastic. Special shoutout the BILLY, Alexandra, Van Allen, Laurentiu, Shemy, and Uri. All contributed to our time being enjoyable and ...
We chose Viking because of the great reviews from guests. We will choose it again because of our experience. The captain went out of his way to ensure that we saw the castles on the Rhine which was at flood stage. Our included excursions gave us a good understanding of the history and culture of each port of call. The guides were very knowledgeable. They were friendly and quite helpful. The ...
The River Rhine Christmas Market Cruise was at the top of the bucket list of one of our good friends that we frequently travel with and this would be our first trip to Europe. We have been on several ocean cruises and had chosen the Inland Passage specifically to Alaska to avoid rough seas; we had heard that river cruises were much less turbulent and our sailing on the Alruna was most pleasant ...
We chose this cruise because it fit in with our other travel plans in the U.K. We liked the idea of starting in Basel, Switzerland because we really like Switzerland from a previous trip. The cruise had us stopping in cities in Germany, France, Switzerland, & Holland, all in 8 days: pretty neat. We visited the Black Forest, saw how cuckoo clocks were made, saw many beautiful cathedrals and ...
We decided to do a Viking River Cruise because we wanted to see several countries on one trip with only unpacking once and not having to coordinate driving and the logistics of hotels and where to go. Viking did not disappoint. A once in a lifetime trip. We were able to go to so many places we would have never have gone to. It was so easy to unpack and relax!
Loved Black Forest and Speyer! ...
We took this same cruise 8 years ago with my wife's parents. It was such an amazing experience that we committed ourselves to do the same with our four kids and their spouses.
It did not disappoint. The Alruna staff treated our whole family like royalty. Their service and care were over the top great. I just can't imagine anyone doing better.
I was a little worried that we may have over-sold ...
We did a Viking river cruise in the past and had a very positive experience which is why we chose Viking again for our Rhine River getaway. As always the staff was very professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Transportation to and from the airports took the stress out of our travel experience. The excursions were well planned and executed and the local tour guides were extremely ...
We chose this cruise because it was a perfect way to experience the cities along the Rhine. For the most part our trip was fabulous. The sights were amazing, the tours were informative, the service was AMAZING and if it wasn't for one incident, the food would have been perfect. The incident happened when we were docked in Rudesheim and decided to dine in the Aquavit Terrace. My mother in law has a ...
We wanted to see any many countries as we could in Europe and wanted a relaxing format. Exquisite trip. It was a great balance for us with the right amount of excursions, great dinners, time to relax, etc. Service was great and always friendly.
We enjoyed the events that were added such as the Music Performance, Welcome meetings, Next day briefings by Billy, etc.
The room was great and ...
