Went with friends but little did we know it should have been called the Grand Bus Tour! Also take note about the Free Air Fare. We optioned for the Premium Economy Seats and paid 3 months in advance but guess what. We got bumped and Viking is now refusing to take any calls. Had to switch boats out in a cow pasture the mooring spots aren’t what you see in the commercials. More of a field or an ...

We chose this cruise because we had done the Rhine Getaway and wanted an extended time through Hungary and Austria. We did a pre-cruise in Budapest to recover from jet lag and enjoyed browsing Central Market and touring the Jewish Synagogue. We did several included excursions on our cruise and three optional excursions…the best one was the barge tour in Kinderdyjk, Amsterdam to visit a working ...

Everything about the cruise — the ship, the food, the crew, the stateroom, the tour guides — was top notch. The food options were varied and everything was delicious! I felt pampered and it was a very relaxing experience. The tours at the ports were fantastic and led by very knowledgeable and personable professional guides. I learned a lot about WWII history from the guides in Germany. It ...

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and had never been on a river cruise before. The itinerary from Budapest to Amsterdam covered territory we had never seen and we had heard good things about Viking. They did not disappoint! Viking hospitality was perfect and the way Viking handled logistics was perfect as well. Their people met us at the airport...at the hotel...got us everything ...

We chose this cruise because Viking offered a pre cruise to Prague at no additional cost. Prague was wonderful. The bus trip to Budapest was uneventful. Our short stay in Budapest was way to short but on we go. The ship and the food were great. I think one of the most memorable stops on the river was the Abbey in Melk. Wonderful tour guide and extraordinary facilities. Another highlight for ...

I choose this trip because I was invited. The food and service was too notch, and the excursions were very informative. While on the ship, I can say it got pretty boring. There is little to nothing to do other than sit and read or talk to people (which was nice), but you can only do that so many hours a day. It was disappointing to learn - 4 or 5 days into the cruise - that the sun deck was going ...

14 days and you unpack only once...and a chance to see towns off the beaten path The food exceeded expectations and the service was top notch. Huge shout outs to Nico, Vaseleyna and Elmer as well as cabin steward John. The cruse director, Tessa, was a gem with a sparkling personality and wealth of knowledge. And the tours, whether included or optional were helmed by guides that were truly ...

I chose this cruise because my cousins booked the cruise and invited me to join them. I must admit, I was curious to find out if this was a good way to travel in Europe. This biggest complaint I have is I wished I was on the cruise longer. This was an amazing trip, with amazing staff to make our journey so wonderful. With Covid still presenting some challenges, this was handled very ...

We arrived in Budapest to begin what was for us an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks aboard the Viking Gefjon en-route to Amsterdam. This was our first river cruise and we vowed that we would do it again. The food, accommodations and service were all excellent as was that of our tour director. All of the guided tours and available upgrade tours were well planned and offered a variety of cultural and ...
