"If you're a health and fitness nut, you might want to skip this one, but if you love wine, wine education and gourmet meals, let the crew of the Forseti do what they do best.The schedule, which only requires one hotel instead of several adds to the comfort of this pre-trip adventure...."Read More

1-10 of 142 Bordeaux Viking Forseti Cruise Reviews
We were looking for a wine cruise and this one fit the bill. The staff on board went out of their way to make sure we were having a wonderful time. Our luggage was lost for 13 days and the people at the front desk were on the phone daily trying to track it down. We loved our little cabin and Adrian who kept it impeccable. The chef was a hoot but even more importantly, the food was beyond ...
I just got back from the Viking Forseti river ship in Bordeaux. I have been on 5 Viking trips, so far, and have a 6th booked in April. Bordeaux was wonderful in many aspects. Viking staff was great; the chef was marvelous, I feel the best food I have had on Viking so far. Viking staff went over & above in taking staff & Food to Chateau Kirwan and they put on a full banquet in our honor. The ...
We had a great time visiting the Bordeaux Region of France in the comfort of the well equipped Viking Forseti ship. The ship's crew was welcoming and a joy to be with on our journey with them. On board food and beverage was excellent with a wide choice of options. Housekeeping staff was meticulous in keeping our Stateroom fresh twice a day.
On shore excursions were available every full day ...
This was our second Viking river cruise. First was the Rhine in 2019 and now this Bordeaux Wine Cruise. Both cruises were great. The countries were beautiful and the Viking experience is second-to-none. Great excursions, fantastic tour guides and highly skilled bus drivers. The food was good, sometimes exceptional. The entire Viking staff is always excellent. We paid extra for the Silver Spirt ...
We were looking for a French river cruise that included wine regions, and this was the one that fit our timeline. We loved the regions and the tours that we selected. The Loire valley was beautiful, I would love to spend more time there, along with more time in Bordeaux and St Emilion. The accommodations on the boat and the hotel selections were above expectations, the chateau’s we visited and ...
This was our first Viking river cruise and it certainly won't be our last! My wife and I were one of the few Viking "rookies" on board. Everyone we met had already cruised with Viking several times and we met people a number of people that had cruised with Viking 10+ times. We were looking for a quiet destination and the Bordeaux cruise definitely provided that. There were only 2-3 other ...
This was our first river cruise and the experience was beyond expectation. The entire staff obviously love what they do and it reflects in the experience my husband and I received. From the moment we stepped on board, check in was smooth, our cabins were immaculate and well appointed as was the entire ship. The dining experience, from the quality of the food, the wine and the staff was five ...
The staff on this ship were exceptional. They all seemed happy, attentive and the service was above and beyond. We have done 10 Viking ocean/river cruises and the staff on the Forseti were absolutely #1. The food was wonderful as was the chef who described each meal with an ‘oooh La La’. Bordeaux was wonderful. The Ship docked at the river walk that gave us walking access to lots of sites. ...
We had been looking at this cruise for 4 or 5 years. As I really enjoy red Bordeaux wine, the thought of visiting the area has intrigued us. We were hesitant as the rivers are small, leading us to think that there would not be much in the way of cruisings and, in fact, we were not really sure what to expect. The cruise, along with the pre-extension through the Loure Valley, was exceptional. It ...
This was a great trip. The staff on this cruise were exceptional. The service was great and so was the food! This wasn’t your run of the mill “buffet” food, this was well prepared, high quality food. Wine selection was top notch. We have taken several cruises and this one was by far the best. Shore excursions were well planned. Communication was really good. Due to tidal changes, itinerary had ...
